I am a little better just now, tho not very strong and cannot eat breakfast, but by noon I am pretty hungry and can 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 is 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 tires of every thing 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 X he is talking of leaving the farm and I am sure I do not know? x Julius
