Altogether it was just jollyette. Thursday Aug. 19th Got a letter from Mamma this morning, saying that she had arrived at Algona where she received all our letters. Spent most of the morning doing my work & cleaning out the closet. Made some floating island in the afternoon & then went with Linn to her Aunt Janet. We stayed to supper & had a nice time She gave Linn a lot of music. Friday Aug 20th The teachers positions were in the paper this morning. Miss E. Lawton is my teacher & Tenie Norton Linns. Spent most of the morning with Allie (or Meg as we call her & I am Jo. We got our characters out of "Little Women") trying to make a little hot house.
