here except Sundays, and timc drags
awfully. YOU see, knowing nobody. /
am. thrown 4Qn Beggs constantly for
company, and find him character!
Uneducated and uncouth. he Is really
original and witty In his own way and.
wonderfully patient and gentle with
me. His quaint, dry humor amuses me,
and his droll estimate OF persons find
pretty accurate. He is fond OF long, i'm
pressive words, which, though he mis-.
pronounccs, he applies very effectively.
The contents Of my toilet case--razors,
brush, bottles, etc, he calls my foot
erments." which have figured out
means accoutrements. / more than sus-
poet that he can not read, although he
was shrewd enough to tell me that, the
doctor had forbidden his reading on ac-
count OF his eyes; but really his sight
Is marvelously acute. He~fcarned to
know the papers very quickly by sight,
and hands me the Times or Tribune as
requested. There's jolly lot OF young
fellows come up here for Sunday, and
they seem to have such fun. | look SO
like nun sitting in my corner that |
don't blame them for not paying any
attention to me; but how would like
to be one of them!
suppose you're wondering why l
haven't mentioned that girl OF whom /
wrote last week. l haven't met her
yet, and don't pant to. She is pert
disagreeable young person, and dis

she must have caught glimpse of my
chair before she got to the door, for she
didn't come out that way, and heard
her say to her companions: "These sick
people make me tired-they want the
earth!"
l detest slangy girl, any how, and
she can have the whole side entrance
to herself. shan't bother her again.
Please send me box of cigars; you
know my brand. Doctor says may
have one day now; that is something
to look forward to. Don't write me
another word about the Athletics.
can't bear to be reminded of what am
think would be willing to
die for one good game of foot. ball.
Goodnight jim.
