During
The Summer Four Of Us Found Much Pleasure In Practicing Together The
Light Operas, Each One Learning The One Voice Through The Entire
Opera.
When we get settled, if we ever do, we will be at our old end of the
garrison again, and our neighbors on either side will be charming
people.
There is some consolation in that; nevertheless, I am thinking
all the time of the pretty walls and shiny floors we had to give up,
and to a very poor housekeeper, too. After we get our house, it will
take weeks to fix it up, and it will be impossible to take the same
interest in it that we found in the first. If Faye gets his first
lieutenancy in the spring, it is possible that we may have to go to
another post, which will mean another move. But I am tired and cross;
anyone would be under such uncomfortable conditions.
FORT ELLIS, MONTANA TERRITORY,
March, 1883.
THE trip over was by far the most enjoyable of any we have taken
between Fort Shaw and this post, and we were thankful enough that we
could come before the snow began to melt on the mountains. Our
experience with the high water two years ago was so dreadful that we
do not wish to ever encounter anything of the kind again. The weather
was delightful - with clear, crisp atmosphere, such as can be found
only in this magnificent Territory. It was such a pleasure to have our
own turn-out, too, and to be able to see the mountains and canons as
we came along, without having our heads bruised by an old ambulance.
