I rec'd your card and Book, some little time since was glad to hear how you was.—
Has not Dr Bucke done grandly, splendidly, I was so much interested I sat up two nights till after twelve, when it first came. It is just perfect, the pictures, book, everything
I am glad to have it, the pictures are very fine,—(I like Mr O Connor) I cant tell you Walt how much I prize the book
I hope to live to see you and have a good talk. I am writing in a hurry, Charlie was
going down town. I took a notion all at once to send my pictures, I have not been very prompt
have I Walt about the pictures these were taken four months ago, I intended to go
and have a full face taken, did go again to Atwoods, he was buisy busy
these I send of his are bad are not a good likeness, Browns, look more
like me. Charlie did not like Browns at all at first (he does not say so much
against them now) so of course I felt disappointed. If I get a good full face I will
send it. I am afraid these will not be very satisfactory. I dont make a good picture
Charlie starts for the Adirondacks Monday, I have been busy getting his things all right. I dont know how long he will stay some weeks certainly.
Dear Walt I am always so glad to hear from you, I think about you often and always I send you and all the rest ever and ever so much love, I am pretty well now have not been quite well, after all there is really no real sickness no disease the only thing about it Walt is I have fretted and worried make myself sick almost sometimes. I must turn over a new leaf & do better
Good bye dear Han
