I am a little better just now - Tho not very strong and cannot eat breakfast, but by noon I am pretty hungry and fan eat almost any thing - I suppose I could walk a mile without very much fatigue - sometimes - but the trouble is when I do get tired I am so sleepy and used up I must lie down - Which you know I could not do if travelling - so I feel as tho I must be at home - I miss my rides since Frank gone we hear from him every week - he is pleased? busy and happy - poor Julius he gets tired and discouraged, Tho I think he is doing as well as he can - but he is whimsical and tired of everything he has always been so - I do believe Pa means to do well by him - and is as well pleased with Julius as he would be with any one else - Tho he has disagreeable ways of doing even right things - Now he is talking of leaving the farm and I am sure I do not? [illegible word] thinking? -
