Norway, Friday The 3rd Aug 1866,

My dear Nellie,

The week has nearly
gone, and here am I, still
lazy girl. Yesterday I hardly
left my chair all day long --
The second plaster that I have had
on at Dr Georges request has
made me quite sick again --
night before last I returned it, &
declared there & then that never
another one should go on to my
side again. Today I'm much
better and slept until eleven o'clock
this noon, that was making up for
last time, as night before last I did
not sleep any. Joie B__ is in town &
goes home tomorrow. I have
enjoyed his visit much more than
I thought I should. He took dinner
with us Wednesday, tea with us last night,

[sideways left to right:
I must say good by this time, and will try to have a
better letter
ready to
go in next
steamer --
All well
at Elizas.
Hope you
found Mr
R a
pleasant
companion.
Take good
care of
yourself
and be
sure to write me
every thing.

Accept a large
share of my love
Ever your own Lu
