You probably expected to receive a letter from me Monday. And you also are probably surprised at receiving a letter directed from this town. Friday I was in Rochester Called on Josie and had dinner. Also saw Miller. Sunday night I started for NY City arriving there yesterday morning. It was a terrible windy day in NY all day.
Am located in room on
Have the gas burning now and am taking comfort. Called at Mr. Tohnan’s this noon, but he is out to Duquesque for the day. Will call on him some evening. Perhaps to-night. Have read some more in that book, but I cannot keep interest in for long readings.
There is a great sale in NY City for the “Simple Life” I bought a copy and glanced over it this morning. But I don’t see why such a stir should be made about it. If it were more simply written, so that it would hold the interest of any reader and would give a person some idea what the author considers “Simple Life” it might amount to something. But he doesn’t practice his own preaching about doing things in as simple a manner as possible or he would cut out 9/10 of his book and give us a simple idea of what he means.
I noticed that he gives his idea of the best religion and I have underscored it thinking it might interest you. When I get ready to writ my criticisms, etc. May make use of his statement here. Will mail Simple Life to you under separate cover.
NY City is a great city. Should like to remain there for a couple weeks if I had plenty of money to spend. Ought to have taken in the Horse Show which is running this week. But as soon as I finished my business, I thought it better to get out.
