Your kind letter thanking me for my face, and saying I seldom answer your letters Causes me to address you first and afterwards your husband.

Nothing but lack of time prevents my letters. I have so large a correspondence it is impossible to answer all hence my good students who need me less than some weak ones, I neglect. Many thanks for the photo of your husband and my baby and your dear children

Mr. Filbert—

It is only a question of time and suffering with all, when they shall all see, that all I have taught them is true, and must be learned to be true.
