2 of the wonderful forests that you have seen, I wish so much that I could be with you and see them all too, but it will
be fine to have you tell us all about your trip when you get home. Everybody here is as well as usual, Helen is very well
and happy but wishes very much that she could see you; see has just come in from teaching Stickeen tricks and is studying
her Bible lesson now. Aunt Margaret is just about the same as when you left, we are going over there this afternoon to pick
up walnuts. We have been having delightful weather but his morning it looks as if it might rain 3 before night. Everyone
has been hurrying off grapes lately but they were very badly hurt by the first rains. A great deal of grading has been done
on the railroad and the little tunnel back of the house is in a long way, a good deal of track is down near here and we can
hear the cars buzzing back and forth all the time. Mama received a letter from Aunt Sarah yesterday and one from Aunt Annie
a few days ago, they said that they were pretty well and wished that you had time to stop and visit them. Aunt Annie has learned
