to have heard Edward Everett Hale's address.
I don't know how the boys will make it go on the claims but I hope it will be well. Living all by themselves will be a little rough.
You speak in your letter of a number of articles and notices concerning me but have not sent any of them. Hope that you have clipped and saved some of the longer articles — especially the ones publishing my portraits, for I would like to see how I look in a newspaper sketch.
My work is shaping itself more and more as time goes by so that I can begin to see a little dime glimmer ahead. Still it looks as if I would be obliged to take a trip into Bolivia, as well as another into Paraguay before I can settle the question as to the probability of a permanent breeding-ground. If I go it will be soon but will write you again before starting.
I send you now the original draft, and in a week or ten days will send you a duplicate in case the original should miscarry. The duplicate not to be used if the original is paid.
Good bye. Yours.
Lawrence Bruner
P.S. Mrs. McCrosky forgot to give me that "great big hug."
