My very dear friend:

I hastent to reply to your commu-
nication of 17th [??rt] without loss of time in order that
no misunderstanding possibly continue. I also include
copies of the correspondence upon the subject [treated?]
in your valued letter, the one of the letter received from
Miss M. [Gulles'?]. The other my reply copied from our
Press Book of that date. This was followed by a request
that I entered myself with the societies of the [Women?]
of the W.R.C. [?] of the G.A.R. - my reply to this was in
"doing the thing" so far as I could. I met the ladies of
the W.R.C. and I believe they joined the council. The
other society I have no knowledge of.
At the writing of my letter Aug 17. The cloud of yellow fever hung threateningly above our heads
