Dear Kenneth : -
How is everything in Lansing? All is O. K. here.
I arrived here two days ago and have been too busy having a good time to write before.
It rained in the night and it is quite muddy this morning so I guess it's a good time to write.
The scenery around this part of the country is beautiful. There are great bluffs, covered with trees, vines, and flowers, over which there are many pleasant roads.
In back of my uncles's house there is a great bluff up which run wooden steps and from whose to[p] you can see the country for miles around including a fine view of the harbor and town.

Yesterday all of us went fishing. Part of the crowd fished from the docks, which extend far out into the water, while the rest went out in boats. I went in a boat in which there was a boy who lives next door to my uncle, whose acquaintance I made on my arrival, and my uncle.
The water is very clear and you can see the bottom when standing on the dock although it may be more than twenty feet down.
We had a fine time fishing and caught quite a few large fist, part of which we took home and part of which we gave to an old Indian who lives near the docks.
Well as the sun is drying up the mud I guess I'll close this letter and write another soon.
I remain your friend,
Donald Price.
