I have your note of 18th
enclosing Kennedy's note in re the "Solitude" piece. I wonder
if Lowell really presented it to library as yours and if
so what he meant by it? It will amount to nothing any how, am glad you wrote K.
explicitly denying authorship. You do not seem to gain
very fast, still it seems to me that you are on the mend. I trust you will soon be
well enough to resume the big book, get cover settled &c. We are all well, this
is Clare's birthday (my oldest girl) she is 18 today. No
further word from Willy Gurd I expect him every day now—I
am heartily glad you like Dr Walsh—I think you are well off as to doctors and nurse now—Osler, Walsh & Wilkins it is a strong team and we ought to see
some result of their care of you—day by day I watch the post for news of you
and I still look confidently for a good rally on your part soon now
