Letter reads, "Right Rev. W. A. Leonard, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Bishop:-- I thank you for your very nice letter, which takes me back to the old times when you and Bishop Vincent were at Paul's, and when you wore corduroy pants and top boots, and the joy of youth and life ran through all our veins. They certainly are good times to look back upon.
Dr. and Mrs. Bishop are a great acquisition to the place here. I only regret that with my shattered body I can't enter more fully into the energetic and progressive work of such a young man as Dr. Bishop is; but at any rate I have given all these young men the opportunity, and i am quite sure tehy will make the most of it.
What a pleasure it would be to show you my tuberculosis world here, for having been here so early you would appreciate the difference between the little agglomeration of half a dozen guides' houses and the modern town which covers this little valley, and whose inhabitants number about five thousand.
It certainly has been a very full life, in spite of more or less constant ill health, sorrow and struggles of all kinds.
Rt. Rev. W. A. L., 2.
We are welcoming the spring even more than you are, for we have had forty-two long winters and very little summer. Lottie and I were alone at Easter, as Francis and his wife are at her old home in Morristown, where she is awaiting the arrival of her baby. We are hoping, however, to have them back before very long.
Mrs. Trudeau joins me in affectionate remembrances to Mrs. Leonard and yourself.
Always and affectionately, E. L. Trudeau."
