I am staying here with H. Buxton Forman. Have been here 3 days now and shall remain
untill until
about this day week. Go then to make a little visit
with Alfred Withers who is also a very good
friend of yours but not as crazy about
you as some of us are! I have spent this whole day in the house—there was nothing especial to do
outside so I worked at the lecture which I have to give in Montreal (to the students there) abt. 1 Oct.
I have got the lecture now pretty well under way—I saw Mrs Costelloe day
before yesterday for a few minutes on the street—I was going to call on her and met her—the
same day I saw Mr Costelloe for an hour on meter business. I am to see him and some
other parties tomorrow about the meter. I hope to see Mr & Mrs Smith
in the course of a week or two and to call on Tennyson from there. I am to go to
Mrs Costelloes to dinner tomorrow evening and expect to meet with Alys there.
I saw a letter from Mr Smith to a friend the other day in which he spoke quite warmly of you so I guess if
he does not write it is only from want of time—or
perhaps his sight is too bad to write much. Any way I will let you know all about it later. I am enjoying my
visit here and am feeling first class—but I shall not be glad to get back to America & Canada
again when the time comes. I would rather be closer to you and other dear friends. Best love to you dear Walt from your friend
