left Yale on the night of the 3rd
and arrived here at noon on Friday the
9Th, over 1000 miles from Yale. My
brother VIM. met me at the station, he
had failed considerably since | saw
him, which was last June. He is worse
crippled than am, so you may know
he is pretty bad, but he has gained
since he came here.
] have now taken nine baths and
think | see some Improvement; Of
course | can't expect much in so short
time, but can tell more about it in n
months time. We have had beautiful
sunshine weather since | came here, the
thermometer runs about 90 to 20 in the
shade, but the air seems quite cool.
This is a town about 1900 with a float
ing population of from 5000 to 5000, the
town is situated in valley with bluffs
all through it, quite a high mountain
on one side about 500 feet high, the
hot water runs out of the mountain
nearly boiling hot. There are about l5
bath houses, they lease the ground and
water from the government. We bathe
in it as hot as we can bear it. There
are all kinds of diseases here and all
kinds of cripples come to be cured by
this water. 1t is quite rocky all
through here, don't think it is much of
farming country. There are great
being made now and although it is
warm there isn't much growth yet.
Rose bushes are out in leaf and the
peach trees are coming out in blossom.
l suppose you have cold weather up
there. 1t don't seem much like winter
here, one slight frost since came,
more like the month of May at home.
l expect to be here till the first of May F.,
and if l find much improvement by
that time will remain till get cured.
l remain yours truly,

In memory of Maggie Brennan, who died
Feb. u, 1892.
Farewell Maggie. friend and cousin,
In the lone grave sweetly sleep,
While the nightingale and robin
Der thy bed their vigils keep.
Fain we'd keepyou with us Maggie,
But deaths angel came, and 10!
Though in youth YOU were taken
From world OF sin and woe.
Taken in life's earliest spring time
Taken with a loving farewell,
OF the dear ones left to mourn thee,
Mourn thee more than tongue can tell.
Taken In an hour of midnight
Snatched away in death S embrace,
Borne by angels up TO heaven,
Where thoust found a resting place.
And though long we'll mourn and miss you
We would not recall thee now,
For we know that bliss attends thee;
Glory crowns thy seraphs brow.
And, though we to-day are weeping.
Der thy new-made narrow bed,
Soon be numbered with the dead.
When in heaven well meet you Maggie,
And in spirit fondly greet you.

are incapable of dong anything right.
Therefore. the British government has
