family and the help that has been given us, I 

 shall have my health and strength back again 

 when summer comes. 



Gratefully,

On May 5 there came these welcome tidings 

 from Mr. Weldon : 





 DEAR SIR: 



It is with pleasure that I write to let you know 

 that Mrs. Weldon is on the road to recovery. We 

 have another daughter. She came with the swal- 

 lows on May 2d. The baby and Mrs. Weldon are 

 doing well and I am happy. Thanking you for 

 your kindness we both remain truly yours, 



G. M. WELDON. 



I was now receiving a good many requests for 

 the bear lecture, which I was giving under the title 

 "A Strange Story of the North Woods." As I 

 continued to relate these unusual happenings, I 

 was constantly receiving additional proof that 

 there was something in them that made a strong 

 appeal to the hearts of the men and women who 

 heard the story. Sums of money were voluntarily 

 sent me, with the request that I use them for Mrs. 

 Weldon.
