So our friend Purdy is not selling anything yet. [[make?]] the country is not settled yet.  This sculptor you speak of that went to the Navy yard. was on the boat with me. going to Heilig as a Y,M,C,A worker guess he did not line up to his contract and was sent back. he was a regular nuisence on bord the boat. talking about his work all the time. the other day received a letter from the Y,M,C,A. that there is a box for me in Parish they asked me to come and get. The course the P.O. will not take it. well I cannot go, it is impossible so I have written to Madam Benzet to get it and keep it for me
