It is very lonesome in this office. I expected a letter from

Manda but it did not come. I will feel better when it comes.

Took Walter to the hospital as he had the measles. Hated to

do it, but could not keep him here any longer. Always trouble

where ever we go.

Bro. Joe got back from the timber and stayed until Monday

night we had a good visit. It had been a long time since we

had been together.

Saw President Roosevelt today the first President I ever saw.

Also the largest crowd.

Mr. Hawthorne & I went to West Fork Oregon to cruise for

timber claims. Traveled all night and stopped at Roseberg all

day. Saw Anthony Lemay there. Went on to West Fork that

evening.

Mr. Hawthorne went back to Portland and left me to work

alone. Very lonesome alone in these hills.

Saturday, May 30, 1903

Packed my tent and blankets & grub out seven (7) miles a

hard trip and awful hot. Lots of big hills to climb.

Sunday, May 31, 1903

Camped alone last night for the first time in my life. It was

awful lonely and cold. Had only one blanket. Kept a fire all

night. I wished I was back with Manda and the children. I

think I would have sense enough to stay with them.
