enjoyed the trip very much. Pusscat's howls could be heard above the roar of the motor and as one of the men aptly observed "they didn't have to toot the horn when he was on on board". I carried him in the wicker satchel that Mrs. Marshall gave you - I guess you know which one I mean. I held it in my lap all the way and took him out of it, shutting him into the east room as soon as we got here. He roamed all over the house when I let him out and as soon as he found his favorite rug he was quite contented.

 Max beat both the big rugs as soon as he had connected up the gas stove - then put the two front rooms in order. The varnish had dried nicely, also the paint.  We are giong to occupy the north room. Just put up curtains to the west window half an hour ago.  I shall make some plain white curtains for the diamond pane windows.
