Identifier: MS C 513

Scope and content

He discusses common logistical concerns, inquires about his children and domestic details at home. In 1901-1902 he spends time at a Battle Creek, Mi. sanatorium to "get rid of the spirit of depression." Eight... letters detail his curative routine, his anxiety, inability to sleep, etc. The primary research interest are the letters from Battle Creek, but the many other letters are valuable for the details provided about his every-day moods and way of life.
