Watch the babe's gums. He is so perfectly healthy the danger is comparatively slight, but at best care must taken to have
the gums lanced if the pain is great enough to cause restlessness and don't forget care of your dear self I've just returned
from New Haven The Yale commencement exercises were magnificent. I received honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in most
flattering style. I hope to be able to send you photo of myself in academic robes worn too in heroic style. Send letters
hereafter c/o R. U. Johnson Editorial Department The Century Magazine Union Square, New York City Ever devotedly John Muir
