quills, a pretty pearl
handled knife and why shouldn’t I write to
you every day. Then again the State very
generously pays me three dollarss a day.
I have gone at her call and she has
dismissed me for the day after a detention
of just twentyfive minutes.
This morning I have been for the principal part
of the time employed in doing up the errands
and commissions intrusted to me. The sun has
come gorgeously forth, the river is clear, the
country looks blue and inviting. There are
my friends, my home, my loved ones, my all.
Here I am alone, a stranger.
