Dear Jack:
 Herewith is the $2 00 I owe you for the copy of underlined: Midland Humor you sent

to my Mother.

 She writes that she enjoys the book greatly. There are a number of authors in that book

whom she read when they were in their prime, writing for N.Y. newspapers

 I am ill, worse than I knew when I last spoke to you - bronchial trouble and complications,

am bedfast just now, but hopeful. Excuse delay.

 Regards - Mead
