From this place money cannot be used and I carry a bag of salt and rolls of cloth.

For a bottle of salt you get a fowl or a turkey, for a tablespoonful an egg, or a bunch of fruit.

When you write be sure and tell me ALL your plans for the summer; that is, after you have been to see us.

My dearest love to you all.
DICK.
From diary of February 27th, 1907.
Saw two hippos.

Thought Anstrossi said they were buffalo.
