Dear Doctor Woods:
I greatly appreciate your very courteous letter of the 22d. I note all that you say in regard to renting the cottage this year, and I wish it were possible for us to occupy it again. Mrs. Grayson, however, is contemplating going to the sea-shore with the children, and although her plans are somewhat indefinite, I cannot ask you to hold the matter open. We were indeed very comfortable and very happy in your cottage and we liked it immensely. I, too, fell very much in love with the place. It was so convenient for me to run up from Washington by motor over week-ends, and I know I shall miss this feature of it should Mrs. Grayson conclude to go to the sea-shore.
I am glad to be able to tell you that Mr. Wilson has made very decided improvement in the past year. While he has his ups and downs, he is making slow but gradual improvement. He can walk now without the assistance of his cane, or his 2third leg2, as he expresses it. I told him of your solicitude and he expressed himself as being greatly pleased. I have heard him speak of you in affectionate terms a great many times in the nine years that I have known him, and it is because of this that I feel I know you. When I am in Baltimore I am going to give myself the pleasure of running in to see you.
Thanking you for writing me, and with best wishes, believe me,
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Hiram Woods.
