of Lorain. Marion Florence Nettie, Nelson, and Harl went with Uncle E.W.'s folks. Wednesday. Nelson is a jolly man to take pic nicing. I taught the babies class in S.S. to day. Such little ones as Keyes, Scott Bowen, &c. Mrs. Searles' little girl beats any child I ever saw. She is couple of months older than Keyes, and she can not sit still or keep still one whole minute, and will not mind. Francis can not begin to come any where near her in activity. I should think she would wear her mother out. I must stop and write to the Kansas boys. What girl have you engaged for Sept? How is Azariah's toe. How is his general health? I forgot to say we sent word to John Friday night and when we reached the lake Saturday, there he was ahead of us on his wheel. Politics are moving. The chances seem to be improving for Harter. Mr Johnson is supposed to be getting some what anxious. With love to all Mother.

Very glad to hear that you are really taking time and getting rested. Do so more and more I do not believe you need to watch that young man Francis all the time. He is not so deteriminedly vicious all the time as Thomas Nelson. And even he has his good points. He is amusing at a Pic Nic, and good when riding. Father.
