- NO/ 1 DID ONCE FIND A BIT OF CALICO, A*JD A DEPOSIT OF PINE SHAVINGS, B 

 BUT IT WAS NEAJh: A TOWN. 



SO VOU ARE LIKELY TO GO TO * EUROPE , AND I HOPE IT WILL DO YOU GOOD - 

 I WISH I COULD GO MYSELF*.^ FOR THE PRESENT SEASON I AM BOUND FOR MONTANA, 

 EETERMINED TO STAY OUT UNTIL MY THROAT GETS ALL THE BENEFIT IT CAN GET 

 FROM MOUNTAIN AIR. IT IS CERT AJ.NLY MUOI IMPROVED, BUT YET FAR FRO* 

 GIVING THE LIBERTY TO TALK AS MUCH AS^OUGHT TO EVEN IN ORDINARY LIFE, 

 LET ALONE IN LECTURjflNG. I HAVE WOhRlED THROUGH A PART OF MY COURSE, 

 BUT WILL BE GLAD WHEN IT IS OVi R. MY GENERAL HEALTH IS UUITE AS GOOD AS 

 IS HAS BEEN FOR YEARS -'l CAN EVEN EAT MORE FRUIT THAN I HAVE DONE SINCE 

 I CAME To CAL . THE REST ARE WELL, AND THE CHILDREN SEND GREETINGS AND 

 THANKS FOR THE STAMPS. EUGENE WILL A CUM FA NY ME TO THE MTS. AFTER 

 MAKING HIS ENTRANCE EXAMINATION TO THE UNIV. IN JUNE - HIS EYES ARE BET- 

 TER , BUT ALICE'S ARE STILL QUITE TROUBLESOME. THEY ARE ALL GROWING UP 

 VERY FAST - EUG. OVERTOPS ME, AND LOUI*£ IS NEARLY AS TALL AS HER MOTHER 

 NOW, Villi PROMISE OF PLENTY MORE TO COME. 



FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY EXPERIENCE OF YOU I NOTE SOME DESFOKDENCY 

 IN YOUR -PREVIOUS: LETTER. OF COURSE, NONE OF US ARE AS YOUNG AS WE 

 USED TO BE; BUT THE ANTECEDENTS ESFEUALLY OF THE ENGELMANN BRANCH OF 

 THE FAMILY OUGHT TO MAKE YOU DETERMINED TO HOLD OUT TILL 90 ANY WAYj 

 JUST AS I, WITH THE PAULIS BE FORE ME, INTEND TO i OLdWr A WHILE YET, 

 WlTh ONLY SUCH DISCOUNT AS GROWING UP IN ILLINOIS INVOLVES. I AM JUST 

 GETTING WELL INTO MY WORK, A} LE TO THINK BETTER AND MORE COMPREHENSIVELY 

 THAN EVER; AND IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF MATERIAL TO GIVE UP» 



REMEMBER ME KINDLY TO GEORGE JR. AND WIFE. ALL JOIN IN BEST GREETINGS 

 TO YOU! ....
