Port of Spain has a population of 31,858, two hundred more females than males. Most 

 of the East Indians work in the sugar plantations. They don't consider it a crime 

 to murder their wifes, but here in Trinidad they soon learn better, since are 

 put in prison, which happens quite frequently. 



The number of crazy people, negroes as well as coolies, is very large in 

 Trinidad compared with the entire population, and the many sanitaria don't have 

 enough space for all patients, even though they are quickly decimated by death* 

 I don't know whether this is the result of the climate, habit of living or inherent 

 tendencies, but believe it is the latter, 



I can't lie on my left side because of the pains in ray chest. Therefore, I 

 also can consider myself a halfainvalid, but hope I will be better soon, 



Shaw will probably reach his father's age who lived up to 90. Are his sister 

 and brother-in-law Morisse still alive? 



A friendly greeting to your son and also to ^etterman. Wishing you a quick 

 recovery, and send you my best wishes, 



Youni
