I have yours of 13th I do not
like that abdominal pain continuing so long and I do not like those darting pains you
mention. I have written to Horace about it and have told him to
arrange to have some good doctor from Phila come over and see what you need. I hope
you will not make any difficulty about this reasonable step. If the Dr does you no
good he certainly will do you no harm. I am much disappointed at what you tell me about
the new glasses and I think you would be wrong to lay them aside as you seem to be
doing—if they are not right they should be altered and if they are right they
should be worn. Thomas &
Fox gave me the glasses I have on at present—for a week or
two they gave me a great annoyance, even distress, but I stuck to them as Thomas told
me and they have been a real comfort to me since.
I have just read "Old Poets" again for the third or fourth time—it grows upon me somehow—I like it better—you have (of course) said it all before (and more than once) but there is no harm in saying it again in slightly varied language—the language of the article is certainly admirable and what it says and suggests is important enough to hear almost any amount of repetition
