JAMES SLAUSON Los Angeles, Cal. March 28,1908 Dear Muir:- That is a gentle letter and very like you.Thank you, all my
sick folks are doing pretty well.Mrs. Lummis recovers slowly but steadily. Brave little Jordan who swam the seas for 9 minutes
is none the worse for thatand has passed through his little job of mumps. I am glad of this, because I hate to have him out
of my sight--I shall always carry like a scar that vision of the little white head bobbing among the whitecaps so hopelessly
far away. Now that I have him alive again, I like to see him. I have taken him out of school and am carrying him around with
me to make a man of him---meantime providing at home the little of letters that he needs. Just to keep the hospital fresh,
the baby has the mumps now --and is a pathetic little ioke with his fat face chucked out on both sides. He is taking it harder
than hie elder brother, and is staying in bed with Turbese watching over him like a hawk-- or rather like a hen. I suppose
she will have her turn next-- there is quite an epidemic of this foolish disease. My old troubadour is still in the hospital,
but doing as well without a stomach as many of our friends do without0412304123
