I have no doubt you are kind to Joe on his Mother’s and Aunt’s account. Mentions Mrs. Galt, Mrs. Rebers[?], Mrs. Hardaway, Mrs. Ashley Scott, Bishops, Mrs. White, Mrs. Foote. I was truly sorry to miss seeing Llewellyn. I did not come across Mr. & Mrs. Barnes, but if I knew where they are staying I would go to see them., 1900 Aug 17

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. We were to have had an excursion on Mr. Wyman’s launch this morning, but I hope it is only postponed (because of rain). Poor Ada Eaton is laid up with a severe attack of neuralgia. She took the steamer just after playing golf, with no wrap to protect her.

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. Yesterday we spent in an excursion with Mr. Frank Wyman, Mr. and Mrs. Streett, Miss Wendling, her aunt Mrs. Brooke. Mabel Wyman was sick. We met on the boat at Oden Major & Mrs. Kimball of Kirkwood. I suppose you are attending poor Mr. Thornburg’s funeral today. We have just heard that one of the Kauffman sons was drowned at Magnolia. Clarence Eaton is practising to swim to the Point. I do hope her brother will forbid it. I suppose Louisa is out of danger from Janis’ letter. Please tell me if Joe has fixed any time for his departure. Jane seems carried away with him., 1900 Aug 26
