The two Anderson boys Hugh & Jim were sleeping here last night since Saturday week They had some friends from Pennsylvannia stopping with them & they had not room for them all. Edna is going to a surprise party tonight on Precious Noise a Lawyers daughter she lives just a few houses from us. I was invited too but I could not go on account of my sore knee.
