The day was the hottest we have had this sumer. Our boys, who are fighting in Cuba will feel this a good deal more than we do. They had a big battle and showed himself to be good fighters. Business was fair this morning and supposed to be O.K. to morrow. I hope so anyhow. Will open another route in spite of Carley. Got to go early to make it… Had Cabbage & Beef for diner.
