Your good letter rec'dreceived—welcomed as always—I am out here this month with a valued Quaker friend, & enjoying the experience & visit much—Ample quiet country, house, large library, garden—the family (they too special friends of mine) all away at Newport—my friend down in Phila. Philadelphia at business bulk of the day—I alone here writing, reading, loafing—Then every afternoon a long drive about this beautiful, wonderful, never-ending variety of country, the long Wissahickon, roads, Indian Rock, Mt Airy, Chestnut Hill—I find I don't need to go to Rocky Mts. or Saguenay for natural beauty or grandeur—I am well—nothing very new—

Address me [at] Camden—I go in there every other day—
