good. The next day we were invited by the Episcopal Indians and halfbreeds and at the appointed time there were two carriages at the door to take us. We had oyster soup, chicken, pies, cake, jelly tarts, candy, nuts, apples, etc. etc. At our table we even had napkins, silver knives, forks and spoons. There is always a table for the white people, one for the halfbreeds and one for the Indians.

It is almost supper time and my news is almost exhausted anyhow.

Mr. and Mrs. Parmslee are going to Sioux City when Georgia and Florence go, so they will have company part way.
