Y'r postal card came & was welcomed—my bad spell continues—an etcher in N Y has etched the photo (with hat on leaning back, I call it "the laughing philosopher") & sent me—it is very fine—I always liked the pict: tho many friends did not—it is the best American etching I have seen (he sells it at $15)—am sitting here as usual—lots of sickness ab't here—oatmeal & an egg for b'kfast —small appetite—$2 enc'd
