Pelee, so you may bet there is no fake in it, as it is the real thing. One morning just before turn two there was a terrible sound like distant thunder. Of course all eyes were turned towards the great volcano, Mt.

Pelee, and there was a vast column of smoke, fire' and lava bursting from the top of the mountain, which at that time seemed to be about fifty yards across but when it had reached a distance far above the clouds it commenced to spread very rapidly and finally it commenced to rain small stones. That lasted several minutes; then it gradually got smaller, until it was raining J. W. Wall was up from Ladore bright energetic young lady.

He is a mighty good man anywhere you put him. He is an especially good man for his present position and the people should keep him there for two years more. He attended several of the Old Settlers Heunions here and made a number of interesting talks on the this same dust of which you have a sample. We have found, it to be a great thing for cleaning bright work on the large guns as they contain considerable brass work about them. Our ship was anchored at Porto France, a distance of about 30 miles over land from the mountain; but much farther by water, so you can see that it traveled quite a few miles.

I have been receiving your papers every mail and find them to be very interesting indeed, as they contain quite a few interesting items in regard to "Sunny Kansas" and other things. Allow me to thank you very much for the little article you published in regard to my joining the navy as I appreciate it very much. Well I am having a very nice time, altho I have to work very hard. The only thing that gets me is that we have to wash our own clothes, and we wear whites all the time, even to work in. I hope you will let me know if you get the package containing the dust so I will know.

Also pardon me for not putting stamps on both letter and package as we can't get American stamps here and if I would put Haitian stamps on you would have to pay just the same as they are mailed in New York, for they send them from one ship to another, so they don't get ashore till they reach New York.
