This has been a very warm day. all of us well. I put the babies in seperate rooms, and they slept so much better then I sent them out to get the air, and it seemed to do them good. Mrs? Hilton called to see me to day so did Dr Locke, I went out to get the air about five O,clock with Mr Badger Shreve and Hunt, we rode on the Boulevard, Oh if Eva was only here to go with us how happy I should feel, but now I cannot enjoy or smile at anything. I wrote home to Pa and Ma to day. Ada wrote me from Saratoga. they all well. Ellen Scanlon came to see us about her Husband, he has got himself in trouble by drinking, and he is now discharged from duty as a Policeman, Mr Angell out riding, he went to Hyde Park,
