The people here look healthy, but the eli
mate does not agree with me --it's too cold
and cloudy. had to put on another flannel
shirt and wear my overcoat constantly aud
then can't keep warm. Notwithstanding the

taken up stairs to room about 8 by 8 feet,
and placed in a common chair, the same style
as our old kitchen chairs, with no place to lay
my head. The barber cut and haggied away

l told him to quit.
