Dr. Geo. G. Kennedy, 



Readville, Mass. 

 Dear Doctor: 



I want to remind you in writing so that yon won't forget it, 

 to "be sure and go right off to have a talk about your eyes with Dr. Dixon 

 and if he can't help you, you go and see my man, Dr. Edmund V/. Clap, 

 Hotel Puritan. 



You probably know that the fitting of glasses is an art which 

 all oculists do not possess. Their instruments tell them certain things 

 but if these are followed rigidly the result is not always successful. 

 There is a great deal of judgment necessary in addition and Dr. Clap 

 is a wizard at this sort of thing. I don't wonder you have felt 

 disinclined to do things and go and see people if you saw double. It 

 is terribly distressing and gives one a sense of insecurity which 

 really incapacitates one for most everything. I have been there my- 

 self so I know what you are enduring. 



Very sincerely yours, 



P.S. Do go and see poor Walter Deane.
