about in Pittsburgh--the city of Iron & Coal Smoke. The Iron City, it is called. Iron & Iron manufacture are the principal to be seen. But the unclear Coal smudge is always on hand to prevent anything being fairly seen. By the way I found my umbella tolerably safe, by express from the Land Lord at Lewistons where I lost it. I left Pittsburgh at 8 A.M. by R.R. for Cleaveland. Arrived there at 3 three P.M. waited there till 3 1/4 and reached Elyria at 7 P.M. in the midst of much rain but in fine health & spirits, and found all here about the same. They had been expecting to see me for a day or two. Everything here is nice comfortable & convenient, as can be. Do you not wish poor you & I & Mayo & Grace! had some nice place of our own? Would not we be happy? However, I guess we will not complain much. We have much now to be grateful for. Probably we are as happy now as most people usually are,--at least when we can keep together. This house is improved very much since you were here. They have a boarder a Miss Smith of Wistfield? the Teacher, an old friend of Anna's. I do not know as I can write any thing now about the folks here. They want to see you and Mother probably more than they wanted to see me. They had a great unclear here a week ago, carried away mills, bridges etc. and now is another great rain. It rained
