the letters go to Europe before they come here, so you see they must travel quite a long ways before they reach me in South America.
Last night there was a very heavy frost here so that this morning the ground and even the grass and trees looked as if covered by a thin coating of snow. This has been a very cold winter here in Argentine Republic. Since I arrived here it has been rather cold all the time, so that I had to wear woolen underclothing and woolen socks all the time. It is now beginning to show some little signs of spring. The weeping-willow tree in my yard is beginning to turn green, and a few insects come out during the daytime when the sun shines brightly and the wind blows from the north. —Here the south winds are cold and the north winds warm — just the opposite from what they are at home. So in about another month the weather will be quite warm and flowers will be in bloom. I mean the flowers on the prairies and in the woods — wild flowers. There have been a few tame flowers all winter in the gardens. I have quite a lot of pansies and violets in my garden. I will send you a few in this letter so that you can see what South American pansies and violets are like.
