IA saw tast am surprised at what find here
h.rdlv expresses all | feel about il. You must
know that for Heaven knows how long We been
annually trying to discover decent, comfortable
place ct which TO spend some Of the hot summer
days Up to this time my experiments in thi, line
have been 30 many aggravatons. The travelling
may be briefly summed up as follows: heat, dust
worry, uneasness, expense and botherction The
hotels and watering places-ins olence, ennui cirt
half cooked victuas starvation and an earnest de-
sire to be at home again. With these experiences
before me You can imagine how pleased / am to
ind here, within an hours ride OF my ousiaess,
place like this delightfal healthy situation ii 10
to begin with. Cleanliness pervading every thing,
from the table and its sp2ustenances to all the NIL
nute of the chambers-no bribing of servants to
secure the smallest service. They seem to be con-
tinualy trying to anticipate your every wish The
caterer must be real "prinee of good fellows"
for he makes his table to excel q say and meaa ex-
Gel in ali the, what call comfortable, essentially
any Of the famed Northern hotels.
There are about 10 visitors here now. Mostly
gentlemen from Richmond, and their families, con-
sisting of young men and maidens, old men and
children" spirit of harmony, good feeling and
scciability prevails among them, which is rarely
may almost say, never met with st watering places
generally. For this We have in great measure, TO
thank the glorious old de Dr. and certain excel
lent Hid who must not be more thsn alluded 10 in
anewspaper. He is, you know, che of toe owners
OF the Springs, and lives, during the Summer, in a
perfect gem of an ornamental cottsge, close to The
main building. The string OF the latch is always
on the OUTSIDE and his hearty, wsrm hearted hospi
tslity creates an atmosphere of good feeling all
about him. But don't take what say for grant ed
You, 7. and C = and all of you, put down your
inky pens Tor day or two and ccms up here and
and look FOR yourselves. Ii you don't end orse
heartily all have said, shall be content to be
written down All ignoramus in all that constitutes
real comfort TJr ever alter Yours truly.
