The King still seriously ill - It has been pouring rain all morning and lightning and thunder - it is near twelve o. clock - and it looks as if it clear off. The King of England seriously ill - all Europe alarmed - every one loves the King - Edward the 7th. Mr. R. L. Henry has returned from New York - I had a telephone from Ada - that all her family were well. Everything is very quiet at Kenilworth. Many have gone away for a little while, the continuous rains have spoiled our vegetable gardens as the ground is very unclear and not sandy - so little pools of water stand all around the plants, and the sun has been out so little at a time - that everything is very slow coming up - all the Gardeners are complaining - dear Grandma Cowles is very discouraged, as she had set her heart on having a fine garden, she gave much time to it.
