August 12, 1924 Dear Mr. Chesnutt,

Your letter received, and I am glad you are enjoying your visit with the Wetmores, but hope the presence of so many servants won't be the cause of your developing any more bad habits. We can't wait on you any more than youwe do, you know. Miss Weilbacker and I both think you kept those servants on the jump, and if they only had to keep track of your notebooks and fountain pens in addition, they would know what real work is. Remember me to the Wetmores, if you should see them after getting this letter.

We had the prescription filled at the Standard Drug Company, and sent it to you in a container today. Also sent the prescription in the same container. It cost 60 cents. Did n't know whether there would be a drug store near by where you are staying, and you don't want to waste any time in the treatment of your eye.

Nothing much doing around the office. We have been writing a little of the Duncan testimony for Judge Hadden, but not much. The enclosed letter came from Mr. Gaw this morning. I shall not reply to it, as I don't know what you wrote him.

Regards from both of us. The weather here is cold today, after a blistering hot week all last week.

Sincerely yours, HCM
