LETTERS AND ANSWERS.

Willis Mont, Nov. IL.
My Dear Aunt Busy: I see you are
very ANXIOUS to hear from me, so 1
will try TO write you a letter. 1 have
returned from Chicago, and l am SO
much better-my foot is almost well.
The seat of pain was in my knee, and
nv foot was drawn up two and half
inches, and now it is straight and al
most well. l was fortunate to find a
very good doctor / think I'll tell you
his name, for it may help some one
else who may be sick as l was. His
name is w. P. Goldsmith. at 957 North
Clark street, Chicago. Oh, Aunt Busy,
YOU don't know how l enjoyed the trip
and how happy / am that my foot is
better
I saw many things that have long
wanted to see. ] was in Lincoln park
and saw Lincoln's monument.
was at Jackson park, also, and saw
the Field museum where are all sorts
OF ancient things such as the first
street cars and engines. But what
enjoyed most of all was that beautiful
Lake Michigan. No one can imagine
how lovely it is unless they see it. L
also had ride on the large steamer to
st. Joseph.
never dreamed that people could be
as nice as the Chicago people.
saw one of the very finest apple
trees at St. Joseph It was the best
fruit tree ! ever saw.
guess this letter is long enough, al
though I could tell so much more. So
I will close. No, first I'll tell you, or
rather answer, your question. The trait
Of character that 1 like best is a good
temper.
viii close with much love to you.
Your loving niece,
TESSIE REICHLE.
Aunt Busy is very pleased to publish
your letter at last, Tcssie. When your
letter reached Salt Lake Aunt Busy
was away, and so it was not answered
promptly. She is so delighted to hear
that you have nearly recovered from
your serious afiiction. Aunt Busy can
We'll understand how happy you are
TO be nearly well. She understands the
gratitude you feel for your doctor, too
Money can never pay him, little girl
so just continue to be grateful and
pray for him every day that he will
cure other afflicted ones. You certainly
have been sufferer, but TIE Affections
that come to poor humanity are some
times sent for a good purpose.
Please believe that Aunt Busy is hap
i}- indeed, to hear of your recovery u
health. Aunt Busy thinks Lake Mich
igan very beautiful. but there is some
thing sad about it, though. 1t is such
treacherous body of water. Many
ives have been lost there in the awful
storms. Aunt Busy always tries tc
forget tFat she ever saw Lake Michi-
gan. The Chicago parks are very fine,
aunt Busy liked Sans Souci park the
best

taresting.
