My letter saying we would come,
did not get here until yesterday
morning but they had the ambulance
There (at the depot I mean) so
after a short muddy walk from
the cars which I did not mind,
however, as I had on my
India rubbers we were comfortably
seated in it - It had
stopped raining when we got
here so that I really do not believe
that the children got a drop
of rain on them from the
time they left until they arrived here & breathe but very little
of the damp air - Becca was
away at Cousin Williams when
my letter came & as it rained
Aunt Maggie did not send for
her so she was not here to meet
