Lengthy handwritten letter to Mrs. Jones, updating her on her family, mutual friends, and her own health, in part: “I am on the safe side now of a long bad malarial fever which wound up with almost, a congestive chill. But the cobwebs are out of my head and the nausea gone and now I am properly hungry and clear-headed again. But I have been more or less, more of late, miserable…We shall be going soon to the seaside to stay until after the 2’d volume is all out and every paper and book…can be boxed up.” Signed on the reverse of the eighth and final page by Jessie Benton Fremont.
