I am now writing in the Iowa House kept by a man named Crabb. He is a pretty good kind of fellow I guess but he dont keep much of a variety on his table. I'll be [foldadled?] if he aint feeding us on crackers that was left from the Mexican War, and you had they have'ent got any softer in their old age. We have been here
