In nearly seven months they have had much travel & climate besides prosperity and need a little rest. He longs to see Toole. He has had a touch of sciatica - very uncomfortable, but he does not complain as they have all had a touch of something. He has played over 200 times and made over 200 speeches considered essential, &c. He supposes it was the same when Toole was there as things don't change. He counts the hours, will soon be with Toole, and sends love & affectionate greeting. | ||
