This has been a glorious day - all well - Our weather is so changeble - for a few hours beautiful - then all cloudy and rain - still we all pass the time delightfully in the house. Mrs Cowles and Mr Rearden - spend much time in my room. they are very interesting talkers and Mrs Cowles is a great reader, she keeps us with the topics of the day - and foreign new - and loves good books, she gives away ?. She is very generous. the wet weather dont agree with her - it gives her Rhumatism, and gout Kenilworth is looking beautiful the frequent rains we have had makes the grass so green - and all the trees are so clean, and the foliage so full, to me this place is prettier than Lake Forest, as our houses are nearer each other, and our streets and sidewalks, so good, and our depot is a pretty place.
