Nov. 16th Dear Mary

    You surely are a good friend to write me such interesting letters when I am so poor a correspondent.  I wish I could write a good letter but I never could.  You want to learn about me so I will tell you.

I wasn't well through the summer the Dr thought I ought to have a few things cut out of me & my teeth pulled - what I have. I went away for two months in a beautiful place in Wisconsin and am now all right and intact - so far - I have been for many years. Looks that I might get bruised or burned all together. During the summer I loafed some learned to drive an automobile read some and wrote a book on Criminology. I am revising it which is harder than it was to write. It looks as if all of it should be cut out. Still I think it is a pretty good book and hope to have it in some publishers hands within a month. The country where I stayed was very beautiful, hills and trees and lakes and several people I liked the laskes & hills & trees. I got so I could drive an automobile pretty well drove it many places no one else would though.
