been confined for nearly three weeks past

we begin to give it up, yet we should be
very glad to see you
If Tempe should sufficely recruit

go there and find those absent from whose
society we hoped to derive all the satisfac-
tion of the jaunt would be rather a
fix. We were dissapointed in not seeing
