But I started this letter with sthe inten-
tion of writing simply about this delightful
and famous old retreat, where so many o
worn frame Ias been recuperated, and
where so many delightful summers have
been spent by'eome OF the best people Of
Virgins and the South. When 1 first
reached here / had a few feilow-invalids
only as companions, and witt lhe exception
of our quarters, which were iaultless, every
thing was topsy-turyY. Messrs. John B..
Tinsley, Jr., and John Johnston, the new
proprietors (both too well-known in Rich
mond to need more than passing mention
here), were head-over-heels ,.iu work, in
which they were ably assisted by Captain
Stack, our cashier. and book-keeper. But
the moving spirit was Mrs Tinsley, who
was here, there, and everywhere, overlook
ing the scrtlbbiDg, painting, putting down
fresh bedding, getting. out clean bed
clothes, and such-like details, the trouble
and annoyance OF which are uncomfortable
to the uninitiated. Under her deft and
womanly fingers magic transformation
took place, and l would not exaggerate in
saving, with the ladies, chat we now have
the :. cleanest, cosiest, and sweetest place
in the mountains, for everything here is as
neat as new pin. ~. ....s-.sg lid.
This water here is ruinous to the proprie-
tors. Two glasses Of it in the morning will
get up, an appetite in a Worn-out boiler.
But this doesn't seem to disturb Messrs.
Tinsley & Co.. No matter how hungry it.
