Delaney's friends here will be panied to
learn that his health has not improved
since visiting me health resort of Carls-
bad. Here is the letter, dated at
Carlsbad, May 18th:
FRIEND WAREHOUSE:
| thought that you might perhaps be
interested in letter of tale of our
travels since we left home, so here goes.
We left Milwaukee Monday morning,
April oath; arrived in New York April
25th, at $3.50 p m. sailed on the Deutsch-
land April 9th, noon; struck fog and
rough weather at 4 p. m; it stayed with
US all day the 2Sth. Nearly all were
sea sick with the exception of Mr.. Kick
busch, the sailors and myself. We never
missed a meal, thereby getting the
worth of our money. They do set a
very fine table and the beds are first
class, but the boat vibrates very much.
You perhaps have noticed how the
screens in a tanning mill work. Well
that is the way you are shook up day
and night on the Schneldamfer Deutche-
land. After we landed [ could not get
to sleep and thought l would have to
60 and look up tanning mill. We
stopped at Plymouth, England, and
Cherbourg, France, but did not get a
chance to land as our boat anchored
out about mile from land passengers
and mail taken off by small steamers.
After landing we took in Hamburg for
half day; it is a great big city, the
new part of the city is fine. In the old
part streets are about II feet wide;
sidewalks two feet, not big feet either
We stayed two days in Berlin, and l
want to say that | think that is one OF
the finest and cleaneSt cities on earth.
There is very large part of the best
part of the city taken up with the
palaces of nobility and government
buildings. You can get a whole hand
full OF change for an American dollar
and it makes you feel rich, but when
you buy some simple article they take
all the change back again. If you ever
90 to Europe don't take any baggage
and don't ever let 90 of it for it will cost
you all it is worth to get ii back again
1t worried me quite little because |
could swear only in one language and
that one don't count. When get back
to New Y DIRK l am going to try and get
even with some emigrant. We arrived
at Carlsbad, Monday evening, May Sth.
1t is the beginning of the season. There
are about six or seven thousand
strangers here. At the heighth of the
season they expect fifteen or twenty
thousand. Nearly everyone is up
before six in the morning marching in
line with his drinking cup to the music
of the band. The city owns all of the
springs and they levy tax on every
one that comes here to help pay eX
penses; just paid mine, 81 crowns. Mr..
Kickbucch feels better since coming
here and expects to take a six weeks
course, then rest OF four weeks, then
another course of six weeks treatment.
1t does not seem to be what L want L
have felt worse since coming here.
The weather is cold, especially night
and mornings. The natives think t }
weather fine while l am cold with
overcoat on. There is no fire anywhere
in the hotels. | have got to go to bed
to get warm. But maybe | will get
used to drinking water and keeping
warm. Nearly everybody drinks the
water after the advice of physician.
My doctor is to let me know next Sun
day whether the water will help me or
not. If not | leave. He has already
told me what L learned in Chicago,
that for permanent relief | will have to
go to hospital and be operated on. /
am not sure that L will have that done
here or go back to Chicago. Won't
write any more now-will not have
kroner enough to pay postage. Re-
CARDS to all.
T. F. DELANEY AND WIFE.
