Dear Frau,

Yours received and it sounds as though you weren’t feeling very well yesterday.

The weather has indeed been very bum lately but it ought to be good when it starts to be good. Of course you know how it rained this A.M. It warmed up about noon so I took the 1:30 PM car to Liverpool. Walked from Liverpool to Woodard and took train from Woodard to Liverpool and came in on trolley from Liverpool.

The maps are a great help in picking out a route.

I made 16 pictures some o f them were on a gamble but if they turn out good expect results from most of them.

Light was rather poor and I probably could have done better.

Willis Wright is back from Cleveland and was here this afternoon. Is coming to-night with some propositions so I thought I would write this letter before supper, as we start developing right after supper.

I intend to go out to-morrow morning in country and if I can get back on time will try to reach the farm Saturday evening.

Will probably take a train to Lyons or Newark and trolley from there. Don’t think I shall try to dead head. If impossible to get there conveniently you will not see me until Sunday A.M.

Will decide what train to return on when I see you. We can arrange some way to get goods back. Can express if no other way. Will bring our old suit case.

Yours truly,

Max

Nelson just came up stairs to tell me that Alfons is here.

Supper is also ready.

Alfons would not stay to supper. He is getting 10 per week now.

Have finished supper and will now seal letter.
