but we have a girl who doe3 about all the work 
save the supervising. I think we shall keep 
her all summer. The trouble was getting over¬ 
tired and worrying so hard when mother first 
came home run her down, then a severe attack o 
of indigestion set in, from which 3he i3 by no 
means recovered. She will have to keep pretty 
quiet the whole summer. 
I am slowly packing up the things that 
we have here, a lot of them of course are in 
permanent storage in a shop near here, but I 
am at work upom the things that we had to bundle 
along without packing into a room in the house 
where we were staying last summer. It is a 
long hatrd job. Two days after I got home 
I got them all moved down here and have been at 
work upon them in odd moments ever sinece 
IHKX I now have this room filled with boxes a 
and bundles of all kinds with things that I am 
getting sorted out and put into permanent boxes 
so that when we go in the fall we can leave thm 
secure from the rats' and such vermin. 
I hope that you are having a good time 
in your work at the chestnut disease, and that 
you will not find the weather so awfully hot as 
you did las& year. By the way, do you-know 
anything about the country around Lowelltown ? 
There is 3ome talk of the Josselyn Society going 
there for next year, and I am down to learn about 
the place. Whatever I do.will be done before 
I go back to New York . As far as I can learn 
the train arrangements are not very good for 
getting there or for getting away Ard ther 
any camps or hotels there? 
Well, rememebr us all tho the Providence 
folks when you write them, mother will doubtless 
try to write then soon. 
Cordially yours,
