Esther has gotten a job working for a family on Cape Cod and she would enjoy being able to swim if she weren't afraid of the water. She writes about the weather and how she wishes she had a camera and she was glad to have Grace Munson with her for a while since she doesn't know anyone else. She's reading a new war book by Mrs. Humphrey Ward and it is quite good, and she thinks it's admirable that Herman and the other soldiers do so much and complain so little. The women she is staying with are active suffragists and it's unfamiliar to her to be staying with people who are so modern and progressive.
