Friday night so we could only stay one day at a place and he wanted to see all of his Auntes and cousins so we dident have the time to stop but next summer we will make you twice glad as Benj intends to have a longer vacation no matter what happens 5 days out of 365 isent very long how are you all getting along I see Tollie every day she sayes she dont believe she will go to Buchanan this summer Well I must close
With love to all I am
Your Loving Neice
Mabel
