A cold drizzling rain commenced at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon and lasted all night, making a great pattering and clattering on the tin roof, but yet not wholly conquering the dust.

Dorville Libby wrote again, wanting to come here Wednesday, that is yesterday but Grandma being sick, I telegraphed him that you were away, & that you would call to see him, so please do not forget. He is in room 1, the Flood Building. There are some grapes left if they want to come up next Sunday or Monday. There is also a friendly 01541
