Le Conte told me he spoke of your work with enthusiasm. Perhaps you saw the poetic welcome to him from the Bulletin. I suppose Mrs H. cuts & clips the news which belongs to you and gives it …

I took your Hetch Hetchy love to her today, and read her the letter, she lying with her head in ice, could enjoy and appreciate it. I have not read her any of your more recent letters for reasons.

Saw Harry eat his first meal in ten weeks, his feet tied up in a woolen rug, and his hands about twice their natural size -- just able to go through a feeble …
