Description

TLS, one page, 5.5 x 7, Glen Echo, Maryland letterhead, June 1, 1911. In full: "For the hundreds of communications, full of anxious solicitude and friendly sympathy, received by me during my illness of last winter and spring, I beg through this unsatisfactory, although only way open to me, to return this reminder of the heartfelt thanks which words can never express. May the blessings of health and strength be yours, and the measure of loving sympathy that has been given me be meted back to you. It were easy to search for the gems of the sea, The jewels and gold hid in mountain and lea; The thin veins of silver that line the green sod, But health is of wisdom, and strength is of God." In very good condition, with moderate creasing and soiling.
