Today has been an awfully lonesome day. I haven't done anything much except read. Read the Ladies Home Journal for June. I got three letters, one from Dorothy -- Neil is in Topeka this week; one from Babe and one from Aunt Bessie -- she asked me to stop there on my way home. She also said Lawrence Sillin & his wife finally had a baby that is living. Aunt Jennie got a letter from Grandma and Uncle Jim's "late" wife has left him. It makes a person want to do something for him and the boys. I wrote letters to Jonesie and Lassemores, also one to Dorothy tonight. I have gotten two letters from John this week, but both were written last week. He sent me ten "bucks".
I went into town yesterday; Aunt Jennie & I walked. Mrs. Hitchins' daughter Maud & two boys, Robert, five, and Rex, two, were there -- came for a visit from Illinois. The older one doesn't mind very well. Earl H. is home -- came this a.m., I guess. Uncle Ed said he killed a rattlesnake on his way home '' "we" killd one other since I've been here, one morning on our way to town. Other "things" around here are centipedes (very dangerous, but I haven't seen one yet), and lizards (saw one Sunday when we were getting rock), and prairie dogs -- they are funny looking little things -- sitting on top of their holes looking at you, turning their earless heads this way and that.
