know any thing about it. Miss Walton has gone to spend the day with Miss Everson so I am alone. Miss Parkins of Muscatine has come to make Clara a visit but they went up town too. I want to go up to Mrs. Everson this afternoon but if she treats me very cool I will come home pretty quick. She is a very odd woman!!! I forgot to state that those white butterflies lit on the leaves that had fallen to the ground and on the road, but I forgot the first one lit on a geranium, that is an item I must not forgot. A person would know what my mind runs on if they would read this. Well! I think I have a good right to be proud of my collection, for I think it is very good for a girl of 13 years. I have had two Polyphemus moths, one [Curopia?] moth, a small gray moth and five Asterias butterflies hatch this year, and hope to have some more.
