Burlington, Iowa, 2, 189

I am reading a new book now,
Stevenson's "Kidnapped". I think
I have read it before, but it is good
enough to read twice. I finished
Marie Corelli's "Romance of two Word
Worlds" a few days ago, and it is a
fine thing for one to read for it
suggests such pure thoughts
and one almost gets out of the
every day hum drum and bad-
ness of human existance.

I have plenty of opportunity
for thought when traveling
and I think strange things
sometimes. I like for my
thoughts to have full swing
and try to get beyond the worst
and most material affairs of
life and elevate myself on to
a higher plane of existence.
