Dear Folks,

I got in OK about 11 a.m. and should have written sooner but somehow never got around to it. Mr. Cross and Nelson went to Pownal this afternoon and I am taking charge of the Y while they are away. There is not much doing these nights. It is so fine that everyone is out doors and the old building is exceptionally quiet. Came in at 6:30 and the clock has just struck 8 and there have been only four persons in since I came. We have been getting on fine at the summer school. The classes are very interesting and we have, as a rule, good teachers. They are all from away except Tennant. He teaches school yard (?). There is a very large enrollment. Almost 400 enrolled. We were working in the school garden this afternoon. Each two students are given a bed and we transplanted plants. Had asters in our bed. Inspector Crockett told us that it was one of the best in the bunch; some compliment. Will you send my bathing tights. Some of the fellows go swimming in the morning before class and I would like to go with the bunch. I have no more news now. All the folks are well here. Think I will stop as I want to fill out some notes. Will write again soon

Lots of love,
Harold
