All goes well here & you know how delightful to me are tidings of your brave march to health The greatest danger is from colds, keep out high winds & away from those suffering from colds or Grippe. & never go to town in stormy weather or anything like it. & keep warm especially around your lungs.

But these changes are offered only as suggestions to be approved or rejected as seems best to you.I believe we'll lick the park plunderersEver yours faithfullyJohn Muir
