New york Feb 14th My Excellent Friend How glad I was to see your letter - was not I? But what I had done to deserve money from you I could not divine. I am glad you are going on. May the good spirits help you. I come often to you - Do you feel me about you, breathing courage into your faint heart! Do you ever hear me say, Dear Everett don't give up - I am glad you have the sympathy & help of your brother - " Unity is Strength" - give my kind regards to that same brother - I am hurried greatly. I am teaching a Class & reading the proof of one of my novels which the unclear are publishing, & I am writing another, & I am seeing much more company Than when you were here - My health is greatly improved, and I sometimes hope I am - good for something - I see Mr Ravens but Seldom here. his health is bad & I think his temper suffers especially - He calls once in a week, or two - but gives himself up to unclear & drugging now, instead of water cure - When I see him I will give your respects to him, for he has a very kindly regard for you - Mr unclear is still here & is very kind to us we love
