  C. [Caroline] & Miss Swazey went to church
at Leominster in the forenoon.
I spent most of the day in the
house writing letters, a large 
mail having accumulated during 
my absence the past week.
Few birds are singing now but
the grasshoppers & crickets are very
noisy, especially at night. Katydids
are said to occur here but I have heard
none as yet.
