Dear Julia
I enclose you Stoddard's
notice, written in great mis-
ery with my hand & wrist -
The past week he has had to
stop entirely not having strength
to hold the pen. In regard to
the photos - Lory will photo us
soon for you - The best picture
S. has ever had was taken for
The Illustrated Magazine on paper -
They sent a man, who took him in
the library - then a picture was sent
and we never heard a word of it
for months, when Mr [Habluston ?]

[on right side of page] as if Lory was repeating
his fathers history & reputation and

[on left side of page] little money. Yours ever EDBS
