Full text of letter:
(Page 1)
Washington D.C.
July 1, 1895
My dear Paul,
Why do you not answer my letter? The papers you have sent my [me] have been gratefully received but they cannot take the place of a letter. Are you so very busy with your new undertaking that you can not find time
(Page 2)
to write me? If that be so, I must mingle regret with my congratulations for though I do most heartily congratulate you on your “push” and energy, yet even while I wish you unlimited success I must necessarily regret that your new project loses me the benefit and pleasure of your correspondence.
I hope you are well, my dear friend, and
(Page 3)
happy.
When you can steal a few moments from business to give to friendship do not forget
Rebekah
