Valence, a City Of 25,000 people. It's too delicious, floating with the  
swift current under the awning these superb sunshiny days in deep peace  
and quietness. Some of these curious old historical towns strangely

Joseph is perfect. He is at his very best--and never was better in his  
life. I guess he gets discouraged and feels disliked and in the way when  
he is lying around--but here he is perfection, and brim full of useful  
alacrities and helps and ingenuities.  
When I woke up an hour ago and heard the clock strike 4, I said "I seem  
to have been asleep an immensely long time; I must have gone to bed  
mighty early; I wonder what time I did go to bed." And I got up and lit  
a candle and looked at my watch to see.
