My Dear Doctor:-
I was very
much surprised and pleased
to hear from you. I have
thought of you very often and
wondered if you were practicing
and how you were doing.
As soon as I got your
letter I wrote to Dr Louise sending
your address and this morning
I received the accompanying
letter to which I thought I
would add a few lines.
I have an idea that
Cleveland is a very pretty
city and I hope you may
be able to practice there.
Now to tell you something
of ourselves. we are building
a very pleasant house
on Michigan St way out;
a good distance from here.
it is about completed and
we are thinking of getting
it cleaned and moving
in. why can you not come
to commencement and make
your headquarters with us?
per haps Lou will come and
then you could have a good
visit. what say you? Earl
is quite well and attends
school. he says he sends a
kiss to you. (over)
I will make this a note if you will give
me the pleasure of another letter I will
try to do better.
Wishing you a
good practice and
every blessing best
for you to have I
am
truly your friend
