Which is right birth date of the Doctor--1865. or 1869. I thought /69. Can you send me more of poem on leaflet of S.A. Ind.--This was fine--Who wrote poem? Postscript at head of letter

78. West 94th Str. New York, N.Y., Sept. 28, 1923.

My dear Mrs Montezuma:

I wrote you ? blotted to West Harvey upon receipt of the fine print of the Doctor. It is the best I have ever seen. Since then have rec'd your good letter of the 25th. I wrote you two letters to Arizona right after the dear Doctor's passing.

What you say about the cane, is very gratifying. It will be a great memory to me of the Doctor. You may remember that I always appropriated the cane when I could & tried to get the Doctor to give it to me but he couldn't as he said it was given him. Write me if he was carrying it when he had his last illness.

Monty's picture in my booklet will be fine. If you can locate the plate from which it was made--it will make a better picture than to electroplate from the print. Am not quite ready to print the booklet--but it is a memorial to the Doctor & is bound to attract wide attention, from what a few competent ones say who have read it.

Glad to hear from you at all times. Was the Doctor confined to his bed or able to be up toward the end. Was he able to read I think two or three letters I sent him to McDowell? With ever good wishes to you from both Mrs Latimer & myself--

Sincerely-- Joseph W. L--
