We are both rather well, I did not have any rheumatism and if everything 

 stays well, we intend to leave end of February or beginning of April. Not 

 many ships go to Trinidad and only from New York schooners or brigs. 



It must be interesting to observe the development of the blossoms of 

 Agave Shawi and without doubt t hundreds of people, horticulturists and 

 botanists will come to see this magnificent plant. 



There is still snow here on the streets and the young people are 

 amusing themselves sledding in the hilly streets of this city.
