Letter from Edward Livingston Trudeau to Charles M. Lea, May 14, 1910. On letterhead reading, "E. L. Trudeau, M.D. Consultation by appointment, Saranac Lake, N. Y." 3s, 3p. With envelope, mailed to Mr. C. M. Lea, 106 Sanson Street, Philadelphia, PA, postmarked May 15, 1910. Return address printed on envelope: P. O. Box 327, Saranac Lake, N. Y.
Letter reads: "May 14, My Dear Mr. Lea, I saw Dr. Hare at the Congress and heard of your safe arrival. Welcome home. It is good even if I don't see you often to know that you and Mrs. Lea are in this country. Well, the winter has been a sort of Waterloo to me and a little also to Mrs. Trudeau and we are neither of us very vigorous as yet. I had doubted all along my ability to do the Congress business but Mrs. Harriman sent her car up for us and as I warmed up to the job I came easy so that I [?] at the presided at the entire session of the Congress from two to five PM. Read my address in the evening and received with Lottie for two hours! My address seemed to make an impression and I have been asked by hundreds of people for a reprint: for this reason I have wondered if it could not be printed as a little booklet in some way. Could you have this done for me and let me know what it would cost? The cover could be very simple and I would be glad to leave to you the selection of the paper type, margin, etc. I will send the address by registered mail and at your convenience let me know what kind of a simple booklet can be made of it and at what cost for say 100 to 150 copies. I went to Baltimore from Washington and saw the surgeons there. They seem in doubt about my bladder; the XRay shows a shadow where there should be none and not dark enough for a stone: the symptoms have not been like one at any rate I decided to defer operation of any kind unless absolutely necessary until fall. I confess the two [?] floor me and I seemed to be able to fight but [?] who are more or less [?] is dismaying indeed. I hope to try to get down to Little Rapids for an attempt at fishing though I am not up to much fishing yet. Tell me about yourself & Mrs. Lea. Lottie & I both send love. Affectionately, E. L. Trudeau. Biggs & Fletcher[?] & Barker all spoke about the address and said I ought to have it printed then I think many of my friend who are not Drs. would like it. E. L.
