but will write quite fully to Psyche before leaving here. Think she will enjoy such a letter more than you would. Will be right in line with her geography.
I am feeling in excellent health, only that I am nearly played out loafing — nothing to do at all. Was the only passenger on the boat thus far, and am liable to be so until we reach Rio Janeiro. The captain just told me that he expects to load a lot of coffee at Victoria, hence it may take three or four days longer before we reach Rio Janeiro and I reach the destination. So you see the time goes and I am still quite a distance from my work.
Was out on shore this morning and such dirt and filth among which human beings dwell! I do not wonder that disease sometimes breaks out among the people and takes them off.
Well I think that I will quit this letter for the present and begin one to Psyche and Helen.
Wish that I could see all of you this evening, but cannot. You will probably here from me by cable before you receive this letter.
Good bye.
Lawrence Bruner
