#62 00597For the last week our valley has been a lake & my shanty is in flood But the walls about us are white this morning with snow wh has checked the free life of our torrents & the meadows will soon be walkable again. The snow fell last night & this morning The falls will sing loud & long this year the mountains are fat with thick snow that the sun will find hard to fry Your other letter telling of John & sheep came a few days ago You ought not to [illegible] gray yourself away among these ghaunt & morbid philanthropus, [Illegible] of [illegible] [illegible] house with unnearied kindness [illegible] [illegible] You most know her better When you come [illegible] [illegible] .
