Mclean tomorrow.
I want to go to Omaha a week from Tuesday to the Annual Missionary meeting will be gone until Friday or Saturday.
Bartie [?] was one of the young people out here last night to supper. He is going to the Uni.
It is still very wamr, dusty, and sultry. We need rain very much. There are banks of clouds in the west tnoght so it may rain.
I am afriad I cannot afford to keep Ellen very much longer. She is a good cook and does her work nicely but is so extravigant. The grocery bills for Aug. came to over $53 and are not much less this month. She insists upon cooking twice as much as we can eat and acts ugly about it. and is a big eater herself. She is so disagreeable too, in many ways.
I have money enough to pay all bills and $50 left over. am trying to be saving but with such heavy grocery bills and so many other things to pay for all the time it takes a lot.
