a pleasant trip to Carthage. Alice met me at the depot
and went directly to her house. The girls were all in to see
me in the afternoon. I was very tired and we went to bed early.

Aunt Lydia and I went to Joplin on the nine oclock

situated and our stay was delightful. I went out to
the mines with Jesse in the afternoon and after supper

wonderful place. The evening was spent in
visiting. This is a wonderful place in some respects.
