Detroit, Michigan,
November 3rd, 1905.

My dear Mr. Morse:-

Your kind telegram of this morning is just received. And I have wired you, - "Warmest thanks. Have been slightly ill. Better now, but feel it unwise to leave here before Monday evening. Will be delighted to spend next Tuesday and Wednesday with you," which I now beg to confirm.

Last Wednesday evening I had a slight attack of heart difficulty, and this morning a mild repetition of it. Consequently, I am feeling a little nervous and realize the importance of keeping quiet for three or four days. It is an experience which I have had before, but do not feel it at all a matter of [[strikethrough]] long [[/strikethrough]] alarm. I feel confident that by Monday evening I will be all solid again, and will go to Chicago Monday evening and have breakfast there. After which I will take a Northwestern train and go to Evanston.

Now, you must not bother to meet me at the train as I will go directly to your house, arriving there sometime between nine or ten o'clock in the morning, in accordance with the running of the trains.

I am so glad that the time you have selected comes when it does, and for several reasons. First:- the great pleasure of seeing Mrs. Morse and yourself again,
