| am very fortunate, to have had a
chance to see so much Of the country,
during my short stay here. School
teachers are usual kept very close
at home. School will begin some
time in July. so l will have to get
ready pretty soon. | am going to
buy Mrs McCuer's saddle, have
been borrowing, the few times |
needed one,- and will have to make
a riding-skirt. Wouldn't you like to
see it? But there are plenty of good
people here. to help me. If you like,
you can address any letters that will
reach me IN to the middle of Nov.
to Lakawn. After that, write me at
Chieng Mai again. unless you hear
from me to the contrary.

bed bug, but it is evident you are
not afflicted with them, or you could
not wax poetical on such subject.

Ever since school was out, | have

chasing dirt and bed-bugs. When

free of both, and if they don't stay
