Y'rs of July 21 rec'd yesterday—two f'm Dr J[ohnston] now rec'd—thanks—all goes fairly enough (I fancy) with me—lying on the bed a good deal of the time, ⅓d dozing—fine weather.
Aug: 3—Much the same cont'd with me—Un: Serv: mag's come—thanks—letter f'm Dr B[ucke] this mn'g—quiet & monotonous here to day—am sitting here in big chair, with alternation pulls to bed near by & reclining—Best love to you & Dr & all—
