Carlos Montezuma M.D. Sterling? Mark March 5th 1903

My valued friend - I am aware that I am not owing you a letter but - as in conversation we do not - note in particular who spoke last - before speaking again why should we always do so in written converse so with my special friend I do not do so if I've a word to say. Thinking [unclear] you might soon favor me with one of your interesting letters, I decided I would ask you a question? In reading my Carlisle paper I read your address which pleased me much for you are a missionary and that that - the white people need and you preach what - you practice and practice what your preach.
