Cape Nome, August 6, 1900.
 Dear Sister: went to the postc flee yesterday and found your letter. writer
 July 5, and was glad to get it and to
 know all are well and that you have re-
 ceived letters from me written since got here. I am feeling fine, iu fact neve,
 felt better in my life, and find it hard
 work to keep from getting fat. I walk
 in to the city every day or two, to get
 the mail (six miles each way) and do lots l of tramping besides, and can't get thin, so guess our cnoking agrees with me. The prices of supplies have dropped con-
 sideraoly since we came, and we can buy 12 loaves of bread for a dollar, seven
 pounds Ofeugar, wo nf butter, 50 pou unds of old, or 12 pounds of new potatoes, five cans of condensed milk, three cana of beef, three cans of init for the saroe, two pounds onions 25c, dried fruit 2Oc So far we haven't had to buy much, as
 we brought our supplies with us. We have had beautiful weather (some of it very hot) up to 8 week ago, when it began to rain and has done 20 nearly every day since. We have duck for din- nor every few days, aa we can go out on the tundra and get one or more any time, and there are some berries just ripening that look like our blackberries, but they grow, 8 single berry on a little plant about four inches high, and when write again will let you know if they are good. George is still out on prospecting trip, and don't know just when he will be back, but we got letter from hum a week ago saying he was all right. We are camped on the beach about 15O feet from the sea and the roll of the water sounds just like the wind at home when we have 8 blizzard, and lots of times l go to the door of our tent to look out and make sure it isn't the wind. We'll, it is late, 80 l will stop for tonight.
 Tuesday. I have b en out on the tundra with Jack, he taking a gun and I two quart pail. He shot a woodcock, berries, which instead of turning black when ripe, turn yellow and have pc. ouliar tart taste, but they go very we'll as they are the first berries ot any sort have had this summer. I am stew ing some now, and they smell good. The stormy weather continues, and last night the rain came down by the buckets, but tonight it only mists once iu awhile, but the wind is quite strong. It begins to darken up some now at the middle of the night, but is not at all dark, though it won't be long before we will have night in earnest. You aek about the Ice and believe wrote about it In former letter. We were in it and in sight of it for Il days and saw lots of seal and wal rus, but couldn't shoot them as the ship was moving, and we couldn't get them if we killed them. There seem to be no wild animals around here, only some rabbits in the hills, and no snakes, frogs or toade, and so far st camp we haven't had any mos equitoes, and their season is now over. 1 have THE BEE up to June 29, but have received no New York pa- per later than June 3; will probably find some when go to the office tomorrow. It is late again so I will have to close. l suppose by this time you have received some more letters from me as the steam CTS leave every few days. It only takes 10 days to go to Seattle now, and five days from there home. Well, I will now say good.by for this time. Love to all. Tell ''Hopo" don't see anything ir THE BEE about the "Coon club.' Whats the matter ?-[ Harry.
