Will you please come down Monday next at 10 o’clock and I will begin the new setEditorial Note: dentures which you need so much and will have the teeth show more in front this time.

I would strongly recommend you having the lone tooth extracted and a full and complete upper set made this time. That tooth is very much in my way and I can after its removal I can get a better impression and with greater ease and much less inconvenience to you, and you will not have to go through with the preliminary wax impression. I will put a little rim of wax across the back edge of the mouth cup which will prevent the plaster from extending back to annoy you. You of course understand that your back teeth have worn away much shorter than they were formerly and the two jaws approach each other considerably nearer than they used to, consequently if you still retained your natural front teeth they would not show so much as they did in your earlier years which I will explain to you when I see you again. But I am convinced from what you and Mrs. Harris say that they do not show enough in the last set I made. The old saying that “the third time always charms” will prove correct in the next attempt and the third set will be all right.

I was surprised to hear that you are unable to eat with them for they hold up so well and strike on the rubber, that you would soon require the satisfactory use of them in eating.

Do not hesitate about coming for I am very desirous to try once more and make the change you wish me. I thank you very much for your continued patience and kindness and success awaits us in my next effort. Mrs. Harris is getting along beautifully and she enjoyed her call upon you the other evening very much.
