"If I hadn't been dead and buried and very putrid, I should have told you long ere this how delighted I am at the sumptuous binderies of the Echo Club. You have dressed my pet papoose nobly but me and the wife and baby have been down fathoms deep with vile colds . . . . They say its an epidemic but I call it disease and corruption. Write soon . . . but please don't write on the Japanese paper because I can't make out more than one word in twenty . . . . Write cheerfully. We are every miserable and our noses run."
