This would be the greatest blessing we could all have. When you all leave St. Louis be sure to come by Texarkana and make us a visit. Now be sure to do this, as it is the easiest way home and she will need a little rest as a break in her trip home. I will take a few days off &amp; be with you. Was in Arkadelphia Sunday &amp; saw Dale he is doing fine &amp; looks better than in years. he has been straight as a string for more than two weeks &amp; I believe he is going to be all right or much better any way. I tell you this because I know you will be glad to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>[C] has been in the state of heaviest gloom from the horrible accident at El Dorado.

Your young son Alex is certainly making a fine record &amp; we are all proud of him. Now be sure to stop in Texarkana with us on your way home with Mattie.
