  My old friend—

I have been away from home a great deal and have not had time to come over when at home. I think of you often and wonder if I can be of any service to you—all you have to do is to "rub the lamp" and we will answer     Are we in our usual health?—Do you need anything? Would some good whiskey help out!

You know myself and family are only too glad to serve you! Drop me at note to Phil at 326. N. 39 st.—old address, and let us know how you are—and what you need for your comfort.

Always yours Thomas Donaldson

I am working on a new Indian book! I don't want you to forget to make some notes on the Catlin Book—
