Had more callers today. In the even-
ing Annie and I were invited up
to Mrs. Murdocks. We took our sewing
along. Mrs. Will Fisher was in. Mr.
Massey called for us and took us 
home. Mrs. Murdock served us
dainty lunch.

Not much housework today. Mena
does all right. We are having
callers everyday. People are very kind
and thoughtful. Put fresh flowers
all round the rooms this morning.
Never knew what it was to have as
many flowers as I wanted to work
with but have now. I never saw such
flowers as we have in Hobart. Everybody
that has a house has a garden.

The girls trunk has come and we
feel so glad. Got her room ready
this morning. Had three callers to-
day. Mrs. Murdock, Mis Rex and
Mrs. admas. Enjoyed them all.
Mrs. W. J. J. Reynolds has been in
several times. Mena arrived
 this evening and we could have
embraced her. She is small but
neat looking and smart about her
work. Hope she likes us.
