The weather has cooled recently, but it is still nice out. Leg has recuperated significantly and "has got almost well." Put a book in with the letter. Had meant to put it with an earlier letter but forgot. Put two pennies for Oscar in the letter he wrote last night. Reminds her to tell him about the money he had sent her.
