Dear Friends:
We received your welcome
letters and were glad to get
them.
I will tell you a few things
about Seattle and myself.
Seattle is about one of the
best cities on the coast. At least
the people that live here think
so. Seattle has a good harbor
and gets lots of trade from the
Orient. There are many docks
on the water front.
There is a great deal of
dairying out side of the city.
Instead of raising deer we raise
lots of cattle from which we get
milk and butter and cheese.
