to Mary Doyle APRIL 2, 1895

I write this sitting on a sofa with the paper on my knee which is not conducive to neatness. I have had one of my throats—the second I have had this winter—but I look upon them as safety valves & blessings in disguise—though the disguise is certainly complete. They always confine me to my room for 6 days & as this is the 3d I am halfway through. They leave me rather weak.

I mustered strength to put two lines on a card at my worst in response to Willy & Connie’s invitation. My Godfamily will now exceed my own.*

I have done the fifth Brigadier, and I conceived (during my illness) the sixth so that they are practically all done, for which I cannot be sufficiently thankful. I should not be at all surprised to see the Brigadier become quite a popular character—not so much so as Holmes, but among a more discriminating public.
