Dear Friend
Your letter of the 19th which finally reached me here in Arizona, gave me real pleasure. I am glad you liked the Volumes. You were yourself so much behind the scenes that I esteem especially your commendations.
The book has had an extraordinary number of notices, most of them excellent, and I have also had many fine letters. I am enclosing a copy of one from Newton Baker that I thought you might like to see.
Mrs. Baker and I have been on a Ranch seventy miles south of Tucson, on the Mexican Border. It is at an altitude of about 3500 feet. The nights are cold, but the days are deliciously sunshiny, and the air is dry. I have been resting and riding horseback, and I think the experience has been beneficial. I have had almost no recurrence of the symptoms you know about, although I am still conscious of some nervous strain. I thought I would discontinue taking the perscription you gave me until there was some recurrence of the difficulty. I think if I can remain here a few weeks longer I shall be in condition to go to work again.
We are moving on tonight to Southern California.
With warm regards,
Your friend.
