My dear Mother
I said I would write you from here and am glad of something to do, contrary to my usual condition.
I have little to write beyond the fact of my being here alive and well. I feel much better since I got here than I did in the cars. My stomach felt very unsettled nearly all day and I thought it would take little to cause vomiting, but I shall not eat anything tonight and in the morning shall feel much better for it. I rode in the little saloon from W .R.

had before when there have been two of us, but it is just as pretty as can be, very handsomely furnished with black walnut &c. I wish some of my Lisbon friends were with me and I should have nothing lacking.
I hope you went to Littleton today and enjoyed yourself very much. Tell any one who inquires for me how I have got along and say good bye to Al W. for me. I certainly expected to see him again- Ed gave me carte blanche for funds when I left. You may expect another letter Sat. night. That will be the first chance I shall have to write.
Much love to all.
