This hotel is 7 hundred feet long, and one hundred and sixty-five feet thick, and the water iz lokated just about in front ov the middle ov the hotel. The landlord ov this hotel iz a very clever phellow, and told me he had kept the house 5 years, and couldn’t drink the water yet with mutch suckcess. His name iz W. H. Borrows, and i reckomend him to all who are in search ov a landlord. I went from Long Branch to Saratoga immejiately and begun to drink. I don’t think the water at Saratoga iz so mineral az at Long Branch. I staid at Saratoga four weeks, and worked away at the water all the time. The more i drinkt, the less i wanted to. The water ain’t so numerous at Saratoga, az it iz at Long Branch, and that iz the reason whi they bottle it. I stopt at the Grand Union Hotel while at Saratoga, and noticed several people thare. This hotel iz kept by the _Lelands_, and iz kept just az i should keep hotel, if i waz a going tew keep one. I always thought it waz dredful easy to keep a good hotel, and after staying 4 weeks at the Grand Union I know it iz. The clerks at this hotel are a hansum set ov phellows and they all told me they knew how to drink the water. I shall cum here next summer and stop at this same hotel, if they will let me, and i shall keep comeing year after year, until i learn how to finally drink the water. From Saratoga i went to Lake George. I went by the Adirondax ralerode, and found it a most delitesum route, besides being mutch the cheapest. One reason ov this waz bekauze the superintendant ov the rode presented me with a pass to go and cum. I kan say to all who are going to Lake George to drink the waters, yu had better go by the Adirondax route yu will git less dust and more shade; yu will find good stages, jolly drivers, kind agents, and just az like az not, a free pass for yourself and wife. I reached Lake George in time to drink before dinner, and couldn’t taste enny psalt in the water. I waz suprized at this, and concluded i had injured mi taste. I tried the water the next morning, and found them still unsalty, and paid mi bill, and left. The landlord asked me, with tears in hiz eyes, what waz the matter, and i whispered in hiz ear that the water lakt psalt. He begged mi pardon, and offered tew fix sum for me. I left Lake George with the firm convikshun that the water iz too fresh tew be proffitable. Sumthing was sed tew me about the scenery around Lake George being so fine; but i didn’t go for scenery, i went for water. After spending eleven weeks ov pure, unspekeled happiness, i find miself at hum agin, feeling like a birde, but a leetle water-soaked. I shall start in a phew days for Utaw, and shall spend the winter thare, and praktiss on the waters. I am told that the waters at psalt lake are more substanshall tew drink than enny others. I shall visit Brigham Young while i am thare, and study pollygamy. If pollygamy iz a blessing, the quicker we all find it out the better.
