KEARsE, April 13.-Thanks to the
Doctor and Mrs. O. T., am up again,
While am still a little uncertain in
my feelings, l think will pull through
safely. It made me feel awful proud
to think how much my better half
thought of me; how attentive in her
nursing me in my recent attack of
grip. First a mustard plaster, then
the medicine and water, then more
plasters, all of which I took without

good treatment I received / knew
that the dread monster grip had to
leave. In a few days I was out on the
front piazza in an easy chair taking
in the scene. How pretty the flowers
looked; the rose bushes clad in
splendor, red, buff, crimson, pink,
while and yellow, the verbenas and
phlox forming one grand profusion OF
colors, with the little pansies looking
up with their sweet little eyes, seem.

soon as I was able I put in to do it and
will make good, but it takes time.
The sun shines bright today and all
nature smiles, the birds are singing
and there is much good in the land
still to cheer an old man.
