Osawatomie, Sept. 23. 1876. Dear Jennie

Your Postal was rec'd yesterday. This is the fourth time I have written home the last two weeks. My health is rather poor, though I am able to be around most of the time. I have a bad taste in my mouth a good deal of the time and am weak and dizzy, and my stomach seems weak. I feel better that I did the beginning of the week. I am taking Peruvian bark for a tonic. The chills generally leave me with a disordered system, from which I recover slowly. We are having most beautiful Autumn weather. No frost yet, and we hope not to see any for at least two weeks. Owing to my dear Frank's

in left margin: Many letters I cannot read until I get home.
