Description |
I see an infinity of people&hope soon io write you some few things about g& maiters here, of their peculiar modes of thought, & habits of life-not u-1 am "bothered" this week-& feel very unlike writingl Alfred is well. All is quiet here. All things seem to have settled down into a routine C nothing happens to tell of. I se? the New York Times oi 25th June, has a most "inter- esting" accouni of Alfred & his doings. Its falsehood is only cqualled by its malignity. Astonishing to me ii is that I care so httle "0~ for such attacks, & a few weeks ago cared so much. 1 have beiome iallous sooner than I hoped. The letter writers, to whom Alfred has turned the cold shoulder gener- ally, revenge themselves in this manner. Our mail arrives here once a week now-& departs as often. So we no longer pine for letters. The mail comes from the States now in iwenty-one days (schedule time) but it often comes (in truth) in 18 or 19 days-but when snow comes, no more weekly mails. I am very very much interested in many "cases" I become acquainted with daily. 1 shall have murh to tell by & bye. I hope you are as well as when you last wrote me. You did not say whether you expected Sarah to be wiih you this S"Nl,TlCT. We have never received Mr. Baird's letter"-but all of yours have been duly received. However, there were some letter mails left behind at Platte Bridge iwo or three weeks- when the Platte River was so high&had overflowed its banks. These "back mails" will come here after a while. My mother and sisters are very well. My brother is travel- |
