Dear Prof.:

I just cannot tell you how I appreciate your letter and the kindly thoughts contained therein. I am glad to say that Mother is getting along very nicely and the doctor is entirely satisfied with the progress she has made. He says that her hip is knitting nicely, but of course, as yet she has no use of her limb and has to be helped whenever she moves. Such a case as hers takes a great deal of time and patience.

Yours truly continues to go to the doctor and is endeavoring to follow his instructions as near as possible under the circumstances, but I just cannot pull myself together as I would like to do - I just cannot get rested. At the same time I am glad to say that I feel somewhat better than when I come home.

Mr.H's safe is a joke and very contrary at times but I suppose when we get as old as it is, we will be contrary also. It is fine that you have gotten so efficient at it, but you know that practice makes perfect, so keep up the good work.

I will bring some more of those pins with me so if Jeannette decides to take some more they will be there. If she does not want them it will be O.K. and every one will be happy.

Hope that you are feeling top-notch by this time and will continue so, but do not overdo things. Take it just a little easy.

Well, the long-looked-for vacation is nearly at an end and I will see you some time on Friday, if nothing intervenes.

Best wishes to Mrs Pepper, Jeannette and yourself and regards to all at the museum, I am, as ever, Sincerely
