A beautiful warm July day.
I so very much appreciated the
day at this old farm about
which so many beautiful associations
abound of the happy days of long
ago. The last and only time
I had been here was with dear Bill,
June 5. 1918 A perfect day with
Arbutus in flower. Billy took
photographs of the old place which
we now have. We had a very happy day
together then. It will always live with me.
