       Dear Brother
		     I will Spend
the time, while Wm and James
are at supper in writing to
you. Time passes pleasantly
and I think proffitably, though
I have little or no time to study
     Wm and James are stopping
with me. Wm the first night
slept on the sofa and the
window being wide open we
were all well entertained with
the mosquitos. I do not think
all together we slept an hour all
night. William brought out
some [illegible in original] that must have
resonaded through the entire block
[illegible in original] strokes were shirt but


powerful. His hands itched with
bites and he tried washing
them in every known compound
in the room. Last night the
owner put up a mosquito bar
to the bed, and beneath it, we three
slept like roses. [illegible in original] says
tell Ed the [2 words illegible in original] high.
Wm just [2 words illegible in original] house
[dishes?].
I went to hear Booth with W &
James, Tuesday evening, and alone

[illegible in original] Iwas disapointed he made
nothing of [illegible in original] several times, but in
motion and position he was perfect 
It wood seem preposterous to
criticise Booth, but I think he
could be improved upon
James has just come in I will close
