It seems that Risiart Ddu spent the summer of 1869 in Northern Wisconsin. Several letters passed between him and his parents during the summer months, some of which came to our hands. In each of them he either asks his parents for money order, or thanks them for money received; in all of them he manifests such affectionate, filial spirit. In every letter his great anxiety to recover his health is more conspicuous than anything else. Evidently, he, like most consumptives, labored under the delusion that he was always improving, though it was plain to others that he was gradually growing weaker. Is not this a kind compensation of nature to keep consumptives cheerful?
About the end of October we find him at Bangor, Wisconsin, writing to his father that, in accordance with his advice, he is not going back to Minnesota, As the following letter is one of the last he wrote to his parents before going home, we shall give it here:—
"Bangor, La Crosse Co.,
Wis., Oct. 29, 1869.
Dear Parents,—
I received mother's kind letter and the order for —— dollars, for which I beg to return my warmest thanks.
