We have been out here now for about a month and are delighted with the climate. I am much better of my diabetes but am troubled a good deal with neuritis. I hope to get over it. You and Mrs. Allen had better come out to California this winter and get some ozone. Mrs. Crane joins me in sending most affectionate regards to both of you. Sincerely,".
