Mr A.C. Badger gone to Graceland -

Friday, Aug. 14, 1903

This is a glorious day, all well, and at home, Mr Badger gone into the city. he is entirely out of buisness but the habit of going in town every day is so strong, that he goes in for something to do, Our Carpenters are still hammering away. and we daily see the house grow, but it seems slow. there is nothing else to see, when one looks out of the windows, the foliage is so thick you can't see the other houses. Kenilworth is a beautiful place, to spend sometime; but to live in it all the time one grows very weary the friends out here are delightful people, and kind and hospitable, and to one who needs rest, it is good, but to the strong and well, it gives a restless, dissatisfied feeling and the consequence is, that our trains are filled with seekers after pleasure, and our people rush daily to town, with some simple want, and return at six, delighted with the country to sleep in, but even then the young people rush in for evening ? bringing them home later at night, and many have to keep their escorts - for the night - too late for trains
