Your Gainesville correspondent
was misinformed as to the extent
of my injuries, for there is no
doubt of my recovery, and my
friends are not in the least appre
hensive as to my recovery.
“The only trouble in the ease,
and the only fear, is that my
friends, with their generous and
affectionate kindness and attention,
may kill me.
‘ It almost make< me glad that I
was injured to have such comfort
ing assurances of the sweet affee-
tious of my friends.
“If dear Mrs. Palmour would
quit worrying 1 would be happy,
for 1 am “playing the game'—that
is, ‘to be happy about everything.'
"1 am happy beeause it was a
light machine, for a heavy ma
chine would have killed me.
Then, of course, l am happy that
l was not killed; then my friends
drive away tvery ache and pain
and that makes me happy.
“I am slightly disfigured, but
still in the ring, and am happy to
feel 1 will be up and able to vote
for our peerless senator, Hon.
Hoke Smith.
“Let this little note have a
prominent place so my friends over
the state can make me happy by
doing their duty and electing Sen
