6. on the lake in the mountain country. The trees were all in bloom, and the birds were doing their best harmonies so we had a restful, peaceful day and a half. Then we stopped an hour in Berne; in Geneva another night; the following night in Dijon, France; and the night after that in Paris. We are travelling some of course, but I should hate to count the beds we have slept in, and the miles that we have come (but it would be mighty interesting to know) You must have hated the rolling, but we have long passed that stage and have become reconciled to it. I don't know how we can settle down after we do get home - but we think now that we should like being there. Thanks for answering my question about the dresser. Of course I should pay Mrs Secrist a fair sum for the dresser but she may not even want to sell it. But when we have our home, I should like very much to have it for one of the rooms. My desire isn't all sentiment either although I should like to have it because it was Grandmas. We are glad that you are well and hope you will keep that way. Are sorry that Frieda is having so much trouble but glad that Anne was free to help her out. Hope she gets better soon! Shall appreciate if you write to Germany. We can at least see the relatives then for a bit, but I'm afraid there won't be much conversation, sorry to say, from me. I'm so "dumb" on language and have forgotten too much
