Yours has come with the $130—making 503 with the previous instalment sent by you—Loving thanks dear friend to you & all—I shall proceed immediately (from what you say) to practically suit myself & invest to the extent you speak of.
We have had a very hot (& lengthened) spell of weather—sapp'd me badly—but I have got along with it & am quite comfortable this afternoon—It is a cloudy rainy day, here—very welcome—
I spend the time very idly—sit here by the open window in great ratan arm-chair, with a big palm leaf fan & do nothing—sleep, eat and digest middling well—pretty good spirits—am alone most of the time—bodily-getting-around-power almost entirely gone—What have you to say ab't the W W "society" project? & ab't Ch: Hartman?
