Dear Julia. I am sorr to hear you are ill, and hope you will soon be well enough to come home to us. Our new Hotel is open and [underlined] is very fine. And the Electric fountain in the Plaza is a marvel of beauty and a great thing for this city. Mrs. Burr and her brother are well. Also Bisdel[?] who is very busy at the P.O. these days. Everyone well & happy.
