Dear Anna,

I fear that you, and the rest of my home friends, are becoming weary about me, as I have not written to you since you were here, which will be more than a week before you receive this. But if you have been here this morning I do think you would have thought there was much cause for weariness. After I had been sitting in the chair nearly two hours, the girls drew my chair, (I was in it of course,) into the bath room, which is right...mine. It was the first time I had been in there, although I have been at the Water Cure so long. I guess I staid [sic] in there half an hour; it does seem so grand to go any where and of my own room. I saw a good many new things; at least, they looked strange and new to me, but if I should try to tell you about them perhaps you would laugh to think I was so simple and childish. But never mind, I will get over these little childlike notions
