User-Contributed Transcription I am learning to telegraph. What do you think of that? The office is the next door to the store and I go in evenings after closing the store to practice. It affords an amusement and perhaps it will come handy for me to know how sometime. The operator here has a brother in the Telegraph office at Ogdensberg and they frequently hold conversation over the line. This of course is a little better than corresponding by letter sometimes. The operators frequently talk with each other in this way and become aquainted without ever seeing each other.How is your health this spring? Do you think you could walk half a mile to catch the train if the cars should go off and leave you? I don't think I should try it. I often think of our adventures last summer and it affords me not a little amusement to think of what was then not very agreeable.
