User-Contributed Transcription very grateful that I have been so well. I am much better than I feared, quite as well I think as I hoped. My stomach is much better than it was before I left home. Eddie says he by no means wants to give up being his own cook &c. The sausage I cooked for him yesterday. Mrs. Ellis says he can bring any think so to be cooked over any time and we can cook it, bake a piece of meat &c. We have not yet made any arrangement about baking bread for the boys. I do not very well like to ask Mrs. Ellis if I may bake for them for fear it will trouble her too much, but I intend to. She might make some charge for the trouble, and perhaps would not object. She is very kind, and expresses a good deal of sympathy for the boys. She invited them both here to dinner yesterday. They brought in their large table from the hall, and got a capital dinner of Potatoes, Cabbage, Turnips Beetstext that follows is written perpendicular to the body of the letter I am very glad Jolly has such a warm place to sleep and that the horses are so well and that the office is so comfortable I have a great long sleeping time, and think that is the reason I do not get tired out. I am quite at home here and I think Eddie feels at home pretty much when he comes I hear from some of his classmates that he gets along nicely in his classes Don't worry about us please for we are doing well Itext that follows is written in the other direction many words cut off Sometimes I study evenings but do not think I will generally have to.
