Florida—May 22—
Still at work with Clay
close here this week and go to N.Y. perhaps on Monday.
We have heavy work only think of our having in one
way or another to make four or five copies of the
schedules.
I have not time to give you the details of our arrange-
ment but it will be wise & will proceed on the
principle of throwing the responsibility upon you
& tending your duties shortly very easy—
We work on as for life—
All well—Father
making us most comfortable—
o Uncle Ben
Your brother H
Be contented & happy & get well—
