date my next letter from and don't care either. I have very little chance in my home now, but you will see by the letters which I have written home that I am perfectly delighted with the country and and [illegible] which I have had the pleasure of witnessing. Mother spoke of my needle book. Tell her that I found it on the morning we left Chicago, in the middle of the road, it having dropped out of some other persons pocket and I just happened to find it. Tell her I found it. Extremely useful. Now she would be surprised if she could only see me making pockets, working button holes, sewing on buttons and she would not think I was boss of the needle, it is a caution.
