 The w. c. T. U. are very much afraid I will drink beer when I get to St Louis, they say they all do there and they want me to set an examples and have written me letter asking me to refrain from doing so. And the anti-strong drink league are also afraid will injure my stomach drinking strong tea and coffee, and they have sent me lot of circulars telling the harm such drinks do, and advising me to drink some prepared drink made from some kind of berry or oth- CT.

The coffee they have here would make your hair stand on end. The tea would make your mouth pucker up. bet they go around every day and get the bottoms from every old woman's tea pot in St Louis, as substance to make tea of.
 And, Maria, when 1 came down here 1 went by the St Lo1is waterwOrks and saw where the muddy water of the Mississippi was turned into filter beds and they tell me that the slops of Chicago are turned into the Mississippi through a canal and don't care if they do filter it, don't want to drink Chicago slops, and won't either.
 Now, Maria, I'll tell you as a great secret, but you mustn't tell anybody. Least of all the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-strong drink league. I've gone to drinking beer temporarily,-mind only tempo f rarily.
 had to drink something. couldn't drink boiled tea grounds or chickory or Chicago slops and when all those are excluded one must fall back on some thing, and the only thing left to drink is beer. With much regret and loath- ing have laid down my principles and have drank beer.
 And the other day Seth Green saw me. I was sitting by the door in Fair Japan with some mutton chops and beer and he went by and saw me there and saw the beer. He gazed at me a minute and then he turned and walked of, and verify believe if had caught up with him 1 would have found the tears rolling down his cheeks, for he looked as grieved as if I had been caught in the act of forging a check.
 But 1 do hope he won't go and tell.
 Do you know, the best place on the fair grounds is the Pike, and really I guess Seth thinks it is, for if ever go down the Pike I'm pretty sure to see | ulu GHcTe kdZluS at SOmeIu1n& WlJQ his mouth wide open and that absurd umbrella under his arm. He won't go anywhere without it and he's had it 30 long that it's all turned brown.

 And another time saw him in the Japanese village. How he ever paid 25 cents to get in, don't know. There was wishing bridge there shaped just

There's nobody coming after me, and I've got money enough and more than I know what to do with, and I'm just going tc take this journey in comfort.
 Aunt Sarah has made me an armlet to wear, to prevent catching some thing. I don't dread catching any thing except bedbugs. I can't abide those animals. Oh, what do you thlnk? Seth Greens going too. Did you ever see the like of contrary man like that?
 He's sold his old white COW to get his ticket, and l expect he'll take about S1O besides. He's got a plenty of money, but he's just that close. Well, can't write any more now. l intend to write you from on my way somewhere, and I want you to send what write to Aunt Sarah, and she will send it to Cousin Hatty, and she will pass it on to Johns folks, and then it will go to the Redding's, and up to the Grange and the Dorcas. l can't write to everybody, and this is the best way.

 And have lived on the ragged edge of nothing and lost five solid pounds l know, perhaps more. You can't get thing to eat that is decent for less than a good big price, but if you pay small sum you can't eat it.
