Wm to H'ry, Feb. 13, 1909. Age: 67

W^m suspects that letter-writing might be at the heart of H'ry's heart problems:

"But moderate your efforts in other ways! Write little eigenhändig, and write shorter letters than you habitually do! No need of writing at all to younger members of this family. I find the act of writing to be a great tax."

"Eigenhändig" means, I believe, by hand.
