Dear Sir:-
Referring to your note I would say, that the rooms you first occupied here were your own selection, are the rooms I referred to as being occupied by Dr Roberts, of Minneapolis, and are, in my opinion, as healthful as the rooms you now have or any other rooms in the house.
If I remember correctly, you were not taken ill until after your return from a trip to the North.
I regret that you leave this hotel feeling as you do, but it is not unnatural that we should feel that your criticisms of the rooms as unhealthful, and of the table as hash are a little unjust, as also your position on other matters. I hope, when you come to reflect, you will be a little more charitable in your opinion of
Yours respectfully,
