HUGUENoT SPRINGS June 26, 1854
| wrote you, think, from this place, one or more
times last summer. At the risk of boring your
readers with atwice told tale, and affecting YOU by
compelling you to ''set up" talor's news, must
do again, this time, from feeling of philan-
thropy.
Let me tell you plain home truth, my dear Dis
patch Richmand is not agreeable place lust
now,-it's too hot (999 of Fahrenheit hear in the
snade) too dusty, too dull has to be too par.
ticular what he eats and Here all is different
there's plenty of shade-no dust-plenty of quiet
if you like it, and amusements if you choose them
Choice society. Here let me say by way of epi.
sode that my definition of choice society NAV differ
somewhat from the notions of some who read this
do not care to say what is not uch,-out when
find kind hearted sympathy and warmth of feel
ing ard manner engendering disposition to be
good and kind to all, " to feel another's woep uni.
ted with good manners, address and education:
say when meet with any union of these. think
that am in good choice society 1t can be found
and is at the Huguenot. And as one example can.
not do better than mention the good lady who is
the life, soul and heart of Midlothian. But to pro.
ceed-the fare is usual excellent, well cooked,
clean and well served up by attentive servants
You must not expect to find incomprehensible
French dishes, which are beautiful to the eve but
apples of Solomon the lip mere swindlei n
fact-bu. they give you abundance of the real old
fashioned Virginia cookery, and that, every body
knows, wants no pulling.
DR.. Royster continues, | deeply regret TO saw in
very bad health, and his confinement TO his room is
great loss, both to the Springs and the invaids
who are here, and who seem to think him perfect
wonder in the accurate knowledge of the principles
of his profession and in simplicity of practice Mr.
Moore fills his place temporarily, as manager and
is attentive to the comfort OF the guests as is
possible for man to be. Mr.. Stone from our city,
is at the head of most excellent and we'll stocked
bar. The results of his practice obtain much COM
mendation
You would be surprised to see the number of
small children that are here. IL seems to be really
great place for them. Some OF the cures wrought
OF the diseases to which they SO liable at this
season. related to me- are little short of miracu.
lous. You would suppose that must have very
sqn0tty times on account of such company, but
it's far from being the case. | dou't know how to
account for it, except the ground that everything
about the place suits the little creatures WELL and
makes them feel so comfortable that they've nothing
to cry for.
But have already written double as much as |
intended. And % conclude, have message for
you from Dr. Royster. He says you must come up
to see him-make good long stay and see every
thing for yourselves. Now mark you, this is no
invitation OF mere form. He wants you to come
wants to see you and to know you. u.
P.S. When you come up, be sure to try to have
yourselves waited on if possible by my friend
Moses" He Is perfect Chesterfield in polite
ness and will " go his death to serve you. If he
is not TO be had ask for john" who is nearly up
to him There are, doubtless, others good, but
these two are my particular acqusintances. U.
