Templeton, Mass.
May 29, 1904.Dear Lucy:-
I guess you won't get much of a letter for I have been out to dinner and there don't seem to be any Sunday left. Mrs. Parkhurst invited Bessie Linnie and I down there to dinner[.] We had a lovely one but it seemed so strange to have old Mrs. Parkhurst and Mrs. Bartlett gone. (Mrs. B. is down to the Cutting's this week for Mrs. Fairbanks is away.) We had a real good time. After dinner Bessie, Linnie, & I played on the piano, all playing the same thing at one. Then we talked & Mrs. P. showed us pictures and we came home about quarter past four. Then Auntie went down to the woods on the Hubbardson road, to get some false Solomon seal. It wasn't out but the mosquitoes were and they nearly ate us up. They just swarmed all around us. We four girls we [took] off after evergreen Fri. afternoon. I had just a perfectly elegant time. I don't know when I have been off in the woods. We went into some woods the other side of Cousin Moses' pasture. I hope that I have enough of the tree evergreen for a wreath but I haven't looked at it since I got it. I feel very big for we found some jack-in-the pulpits. I never found any growing before & have hardly even seen any. Did you ever find any? I think that I shall press one. I found violets, lady-slippers, bunch berry, star flowers, & false Solomon seal. Auntie says to tell you that after she had been in the woods she had a great many bumps on her head whether they were bumps of knowledge or not she doesn't know. We are in a great rush for we havne't a wreath made & it is Memorial morning, so I suspect that you won't get much of a letter. Carrie Wright is coming up here to spend the day next Sat.
With love,
Molly[The closing and signature are padded with "x x x" to the margins of the paper]
P.S. We had a special L.A.H. last Sat. but that will have to wait.
