Letters of Rev. John W. Alvord

Don't think I am quite well, but I know you will rejoice to learn of any improvement. My head aches some. I am at the Hotel Windsor a beautiful location opposite the Garden of the Thuleries & have already seen some strange things which as you observe I have no room to describe. Next week we go to London where I shall write you again & tell you more of Paris. Take good care of yourself, bathe with cold ^wet^ towels every morning & take a walk in the open air immediately after it to prevent the chill & I think you will find it the best medicine you can take. Don't forget the walk before even you are hardly dressed. Love Charity & [illegible] for our dear ones. I shall see them soon I hope.

Your affectionate husband, J.W. Alvord.
