Dear sister, I now sit down to answer your welcome letter, and was very sorry to hear of your illness but I trust you will be better now. I have been very ill myself with rheumatism in my shoulders and arms, but indeed every bit of me is infected. I was at Portstewart one week and got shower baths which has relieved me a little. I would have written sooner, only waiting to see if the salt water would do me any good; and for James thank god he is quite well. only when he would get cold, he would have a slight attack of rheumatism yet.
