Abstract
Chapters 1 and 4 of an unattributed and unfinished story, "Seven Days in the Country," by one of the Nelson brothers. The story tells of three brothers Dick, Fred and Franz. The first chapter introduces the brothers as hardworking farm boys preferring the outdoors to lessons inside. They ask their mother to allow them to conduct their lessons outside and she agrees. Chapter 4 begins with the two eldest brothers working to put a calf back in the pasture. After getting the calf back to pasture, the three boys go out with their father to do chores in the fields. While out in the fields Dick steps on his scythe and cuts his bare foot. He returns to the house to be mended by his mother and then rejoins his brothers in the field. The book has blocks laid out for illustrations but there are no illustrations filled in.
