The weather is not 80 hot, but it is
close and dry. It does not affect me
much, but some Of the boys can't stand
it at all.
I have had no letter from any one
since the one in answer to my Honolulu

least once every two weeks, and have
only had two letters since the one 1 got

spouts up twelve feet above the surface,
