I like your paper very much, and am always glad to get it. I have a
nice old bachelor uncle in New York, who sends it to me every week.
I should like very much to see this in print. If it is, I may try
again. I have been very sick with diphtheria, and I don't like it a
bit. I made 'most three dollars taking medicine, and I liked that
very much. As you ask for short letters, I will stop.
