through the conservatory and really there
was the most beautiful flowers | ever say,
and on Sunday before my departure. | went
over on Lake Michigan to the Field muse
UNI, and there | saw lots of things. l saw
a piece of wood that was carried before
Christ. 1t was carved in the image Of a
frog, and most all kinds CT animals and all
kinds of curious arts. At last the weather
