To James R. Osgood
18 September 1882 • Elmira, N.Y. (Transcript, letter in pencil: CU-MARK, UCCL 02269)
Dear Osgood—

Welcome home! I have been half dead with malaria ever since you left; & these last few days am two-thirds dead. I work all the time, but accomplish very little—sometimes as little as 200 words in 5 hours.

What is worse than all is that I find I still lack about 30,000 words, whereas a few days ago I thought it was only a third of that—dismal miscalculation!.emendation I shall peg along, day by day, but shan’t be through when we leave for home 2 weeks hence.

Truly yrs
S. L. C.

Poor Lem Gray died of his injuries—was buried Aug. 23d. The others got well.
