one, owing to the looks of my junk. Nearly every thing was banged around terribly. My nice lil' ol' rocker is busted all to smash, and several pictures are in the same fix. I suppose one mustn't rave about it too much because they have such a time everywhere with new and incompetent help. Nearly everyone working in the freight depot is of feminine gender. They look cute in their overalls -- some of them. Some of them look fierce. Ernest had his men haul our thing out for us, and it saved me a lot of expense too, because there were two loads. He is so good to us, Conger. I can't begin to say how much I appreciate it. Last night we all undressed and were upstairs in the den, all curled up in easy chairs. I was reading your Jungle Book aloud, and we were having a fine old time in India when the bell rang. Ernest & Marthat had brought over the "cat-sup" I made, and Martha had contributed a jar of grape jell and another of peach jam. We tried to coax them to come up and join us but they were going to Stanley's and couldn't stop.
