Dear Mother and all,
Hannah and I got up at 5:00 A.M. Monday and didn’t have to hurry much. Floyd took us down to the depot and we had 10 minutes before the train left. Mrs. Hatch and Mr. Foster were the only ones on the train besides us.
Mr. Buell put our suitcases on the Buffalo train for us and had the conductor carry them from our seats to the stairs where you go down to get to the depot. We waited there about 15 minutes for them and then they got a lunch. We got there about 12:45, fast time, and didn’t start home until 4:00P.M. We had to wait for Ruth Hobark to take her music lesson. She is the girl that played for the wedding.
On our way home we saw Lake Erie and just before we came to the Buffalo Creek we had to stop before going over the bridge to let three large boats go through. It was the first time I had seen one of those bridges work.
We took Ruth to Collins (of course you know all about it and where it is) and then went and got a girl that was going to visit Marg. a couple of days, stayed there for supper and then realy started for S. Dayton about quarter of nine and got home about half past ten fast time. Al, Hannah and I sang most of the way home.
Ann Elizabeth is to cute for anything, except when she gets to squealing. I think she will be a high soprano singer when she grows up. Ha! Ha! She had the colic to-night and you would have thought she had a higher pitched voice than Anna Case and the rest of them.
Al and Hannah are in the sitting room with me and I cant write worth a cent. Al is playing the guitar and Hannah is giggling as usual. How is Ellen and the rest of them? It is bedtime so I am going to quit.
Lots of love,
Louise
