Our garden does look beautifully now. I can tell you The beans and the Cucumbers are blooming out, the beetroots are bigger than my thumb considerable also carrots 1/2 inch thick. We have had three messes of peas already. some of the cabbages have begun to head. I have tore my drab pants in the knee rather bad to day Friday. I wish I had waited about one week first! There has been a meeting of the S.S.C. to day to arrange about the Examiners Share I have not yet the programe in order of exercises, but the Eve. is to be Thurs. instead of Friday as Mr. Worcester is agoing to Boston in the Steamboat ? I am awful skeert about the Examin. every body is the world will be there, most. Mr. Pomroy was here to tea today and said he should be there. I expect that James would like very well to go somewhere and make hay a spell as he has nothing to do hardly now and I guess he would come home with me if he were invited but I guess it is not best to urge him.
