Dear Doc

You are a mighty poor correspondent but a bully telegrapher! Your telegrams have kept me alive and I can never express to you adequately what I feel for you. I have much to tell you and am looking forward with joy to seeing you so soon - I arrive the morning of the 18th - next Wednesday! Please lunch with me that day. We are expected to arrive before breakfast in which case I shall call you up and maybe you will breakfast with me - I am sure you will want to look me over to see if I am “plum crazy” or a “gone grump”!

Now, dear old chap, here is another Commission which I beg you to do for me. Get 2 doz. fine American Beauties and send to the adorable person on the morning (early) of Valentine’s Day and keep up the other flowers until I get there. I enclose a card to go with the flowers (the Valentine ones)I wonder what my fate is to be! If I have a chance it is because of you! I am delighted about Braisted & I am most grateful for all of your kindness to darling little Sally - Had a fine day with Col. House - We said a few things about you. We both send love to you -

Always yours

W G Mc
