reduced. After these strikes are settled, there will be plenty of men
seeking employment and wages will have to come down.

I am pleased to say that my family and myself are all enjoying
good health and I hope on receipt of this it will find you and Miss
Bertha enjoying the same. With kind regards to Miss Bertha and love
to your dear self, I remain

Your affectionate brother.

P.S. I mailed you copies of telegram received from Gen. Hubbard, also my
reply to same. Also mailed you copy of letter received from D. O. Mills
and copy of my reply.

I might say that Mr. R. J. Wilson is looking much better today than
when I saw him a few days ago. He is not taking much interest in his
business and from what he informs me I think from now on he will not
visit his office more than once or twice a week and then only for a few
hours. He tells me that the Doctor informed him that he must not apply
himself as he has heretofore and not over-tax himself. I am afraid
that Mr. Wilson will never recover from his illness which occured 3 years
ago. I informed him of your kindly inquiries regarding his health and
he requested me to say to you that he very much appreciated your
inquiries and wished to be kindly remembered to you when I next
communicated with you.
