Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. Hafner left the Tarpon Springs Hotel and traded it for the Fernald Cottage. Mr. Purcell from the Occidental Land Co. approached him in hopes of making it right, but Hafner did not return. He admits that his sewing is coming out poorly, and though he asked his laundress to sew the buttons for him, she refused. He can't sew with a thimble; finishing a sewing task, especially if he pricks himself, fills him with pride. Chandler advises him to treat his water barrels to repel mosquitoes. He discusses his tendency to be combative.
