for me. To night I am about sick again and it is so all the while. To day Father has rented the farm. How I do hate to leave the dear old place. But it will be better for them. Go where we will we cannot work harder than we do now and probably not as hard. May it prove for the best. September first. The short bright summer is past. And where is it gone, what have I done. True I have worked very hard since I got well but I can not tell what I have accomplished. To day Uncle Franks people arrived just before noon. Our place is rented. How I shall hate to leave it.
