Your letter was forwarded me from M. I got here early Monday morning.
I got my teeth Saturday. I feel as if I had a tin roof in my mouth,
cornice and all. I don't know how I can ever endure them, they are
horrible....
I took your Hobo piece to Dr. Barrus and she read it to Miss C and me,
they were both delighted with it, even enthusiastic. _Forest and Stream_
has returned your piece. I enclose their letter. I have read the paper.
It is not anywhere near as good as your Hobo sketch--has not the same
sparkle, buoyancy, and go. You can make it better. In such an account
you must put a spell upon your reader and to do this you must go more
into detail and be more deeply absorbed yourself.
My hand is nearly well. Three doctors in M agreed that I had broken a
bone.... Love to you all,
