II am learning many things about the
| European countries and the people and
customs, which | am very glad TO know.
And when get back home again, shall
| have wider knowledge of the world,
which will be worth a great deal.

| expect TO go through, but things are
not as bad as they are made to appear in
papers in the United States. In fact,
very much fear pro.German money and
influence is more widespread in the
United States than most people think
So don't get excited about imaginary
dangers and hardships, for if you do,
may be enjoying a very good meal at the
very moment when you are shedding
tears for my hard lot.

breakfast to-day. 1t is the first have
