Now along toward the end of third week of grip that holds on by day & night like grim death on top of my other general tribulations—I send you a little "Bruno" by Prof: Brinton here (do you know him?) of the school of the great modern scientists & progressive metaphysicians—Sh'l probably have to give up reading my death of Lincoln paper 15th tho' I wanted to muchly—I don't think any thing really serious ails me.—
