14/77 The _China_ case having been settled (and settled as we wanted it), I thought it a good time to try to get away for a week. So here Mrs.Page and I are--very much to my benefit. I've spent a beautiful week out of doors, on this seashore; and I have only about ten per cent. of the fatal diseases that I had a week ago. That is to say, I'm as sound as a dollar and feel like a fighting cock. |
