ice and snow, when they have everything so beautiful
like that this."- the Every flower- engaged her
attention every bit of color.

My friends the Keatings met me at the boat - they
expected to take me over to their home in Piedmont
until tomorrow afternoon, but I did not like to
leave Ada on the boat without me. So I went over
for lunch, then they drove back over and we picked
up Ada and Bennett at the ship and went out
to the Cliff House and beach and thru the parks.
Ada said she had never been on such a beautiful
ride in all her life. I think the little boy saw
everything Mr Keating was so fascinated by him
that he hated to let him go. I d Benett was busy teaching
Mr. Keating Eskimo -

Ada is talking more and more freely to people, She
told me tonight there were so many nice people.
She talked quite a bit to Mrs Keating - told her little
things about the Island how there were many polar bear
one or more every week, when she was there alone -
-and many walrus out on the broken ice
the first year - "thousands - fm the noise they made".
- She always says "all the boys were good to her".
She liked them - all - I wonder what she did
