But here there is always something to give a man hope, and lots of excitement and that is what I like." "Some times I stop and think of how quietly I used to live at home on the farm and it seems to me that it would kill me to go back to such a life..." 2) 1880 letter and cover to Eliza Ballard in Maine from H.
