My Dear Helen:—
I believe that I will write this letter to you because the last was to Psyche or Mamma, I forget which. But it does not make any difference because you can all read them anyway. It was only a few days ago that I wrote so I don't know very much to write about now.
Today is Sunday, but nobody would know it by seeing the people here. Almost everybody works just the same as if it were a work day. The stores are open too just the same as every other day. I do not work very much myself, only to take care of my grasshoppers that I have in cages, and that I am trying to learn something about. Even if I do not work I can't go to church or sunday school. There is only one church in town and it is Spanish Catholic. I wouldn't understand the priest, even if I do understand some Spanish already.
Yesterday I received 4 letters from North America — 1 from Mamma, 1 from Grandpa, 1 from Lettie's papa, and 1 from Gov. R.W. Furnas. Mamma's was written on the 11th of July and the others nearly the same time. So you see it takes quite a long time for letters to come way down here. Some of
meal — chocolate and bread — the best meal during the entire day.
