The same as before with me—am getting along fairly—My friend Dr Bucke starts for Europe, SS Britannic f'm N Y to morrow—to be gone ab't two months. I got over the 4th favorably—am sitting here by the window as usual—have had a good supper—My nurse has gone on to N Y to see Dr B off—Hope this will find you comfortable, sister dear, & best love to you—
