Margie had been staying at her mother's
during my absence. Her mother has been
have a very bad cold.

This morning, July 18, Mrs. Coolidge much
better. I staid at Mothers this AM.
Mother, Mary, George & I took a drive
through Belmont. Saw a horse mired
in a clay pit off Concord Ave. He
was pulled out. It was quite pitiable
to see his struggles. Margie & I took
the train from Arlington back here this
P.M. We experienced a terrible shower
on the way between Harvard Sq. & Ar-
lington. Got here before 6. All seemed
glad to see us back. Found Miss
Hayward here.

spread with biscuit, currants, pickled onions, boiled
eggs, cake, ginger, and adorned with ferns.
