Sat. 7:30 AM

Dear Carolyn,

                Suppose you rec[eive]d the pkg.  Hope you found cross & chain wrapped in powder box and that you have enough hangers.  Have a nice day for reg[istration]?  It was quite cool here and cloudy part of time.  Today it’s raining again and looks as if it would keep it up forever – in case it does they will have parade tomorrow and we can’t go to R.S. [Rising Sun] It seems I was mistaken about B’s “hurrahing.” She isn’t anxious to go – sooo!  Belva was here yesterday AM.  We went to see the little stone church Taylors are making. It’s coming! Late yesterday the Aurora & Lawrenceburg M.D.’s got interested in the parade.  Called several ties, wanted to follow Dad’s suggestions & him to get things together!!!  Too late to do anything.  When did E.H. [Ernestine Hitchcock] arrive?  Tell her “howdy” for me.  You know why I don’t want to go to R.S.

                                                                                                                                Love,

                                                                                                                                Mother
