Dear Florence—

Thanks for your nice note—  Do come to see me— I am up and on the mend after several strenuous days in bed with inflammatory rheumatism—  Too much house remodeling and anxiety about other things tired me out and then evil came and settled in my knee and foot—  Aside from the discomfort its been quite a luxury to be ill with so many nice friends doing lovely things—  

[[strikethrough]] This [[/strikethrough]] It has been my only opportunity to enjoy flowers this winter, and I, am so proud of them — They are the only things among objects that have set me thinking in color for a long time — I really am anxious to paint again — In fact I must do so —  The experience of day to day too quickly becomes monotonous — I must paint to make reality possible, only then do I know how wonderful all things are —

Love 

Andrew —
