I'm dropping you a@ letter, Jim, tonight, to let you know I've just been down to Henry- ville, our home of tong ago. I wandered through the meadow, Jim; it's just the same to-day aa in the daya when you and I worked in it cutting hay, I went down to the swimming hole; it's just the sane, about. The rock is there, the old tree's there, the same limb'a sticking out. I pulled my clothes off, Jim, and took another plunge or two, and then I mounted that old rock and took one, Jim, for you, The water, Jim, was nice and warm, just as it used to be, It seemed I dropped the years that, since I swam, have come to me. I figured out there was no place on earth so pleasant, Jim, as that old boyhood swimming hole where we two used to swim, T atayed there in the water, Jim, about an hour, and then I had to board a train for this old, dusty town again. On reaching home ° 1 sat right down to write you of my trip and tell you of the old home, Jim, and my refreshing dip. It's been some years since you were there—seems ages, Jim, to- night. But stilt, PU det your mem'ry holds a picture good and bright.
