    (7) [Written by B3. Received April 6th, 1897; see above, p. 376.] In Bed 3 hours after I woke up My dear Dr. Wilson I am writing you a few lines to let you know Poor old Nick has woke up I will tell you all about it I woke up all at once at about | to 2 o’clock & found myself in bed with the room all dark & with my night dress on Sc with Bottles on the drawers & all kinds of things that people would have if they were ill. I was all by myself & the place dreadfully quiet so I called out “ Why have you put me in bed ” then I really had to laugh till the tears ran down my cheeks because it was so strange and funny. Then Tom Sc Munger Sc Giggler came in all looking dazed & Frightened & I was so surprised that we did not know what to say for quite a little while. Do you know I felt so strange because I went to sleep in September Sc now they tell me it is April 1897 instead of September 1896. I cant make it out I dont know that I can believe but that it is the same day as when I went to sleep because you know I went to sleep on Sunday at the same time as I woke up. I went to sleep you know when we were having dinner one Sunday <fc 1 woke up on Sunday when they were having the same dinner you know Mutton & Potatoes Sc greens all the very same except Fruit Pudding it seems so funny to go to sleep such a very long time Every thing was the same except I was in bed all cuddled up in wraps & Hot water bottle at my feet & every think so funny. I feels quite strong & cannot make out why I am in bed. But I am going to get up tomorrow I feel so very disapointed you are away but I hope very much you are enjoy- ing your self & that you will soon behome because I have gallons of news to tell you. I have done you a drawing and I am sending it to you with 2 of the others that another critter tom Tells me did for you while I have been asleep I will tell you that there are a whole Pile of Drawings here that she has done for you & there are 2 beautiful Pictures here that she has done for you Proper Pictures I mean with ladies & Birds & Trees & Fence all colored in too you know [see Plate IV. for reproduction of picture referred to].
