you & Rosa and Bay must keep a sharp lookout on the young birdlings up at the pond & see them begin life. They are ready to fly, now. Keep the squirrel supplied with nuts, if he comes around. If you have a very fine sunset, put a blanket over it & keep it till I come. Aunt Sue will give you one. I saw a lovely sunset yesterday, reflected in the water of the Jersey marshes. It was a beautiful, still evening—no sound but just one cow singing, & some frogs—(frosches.)

There are some bells close here, & a man who rings chimes. That man will die some day, & then he will wish he had behaved himself. I saw a cat yesterday, with 4 legs—& yet it was only a yellow cat, & rather small, too, for its size. They were not all fore legs—several of them were hind legs; indeed almost a majority of them were. Write me.
