Your kind post-card of Sept. 30th recd on the 11th inst, and the pocket-book copy of L. of G. received this morning. Many thanks.
I am glad to hear of the visit from John Burroughs, which I know would be a very great pleasure to you both. He told Dr J. that he wished very much that he could persuade you to live near him.

Dr Johnston tells me that a friend of ours, & a
school-fellow of mine,—Fred Wild—is likely to call upon you. He has been
spending a little time in Canada, & wrote home that he would return by New York,
& would probably go on to Camden to see you. Dr J. sent you
a telegram to that effect last week. I understand, however, that he is likely to
have left America before this reaches you. I spent 3 days in Yorkshire last
week—so ending my holiday.—I am by no means so much
recruited in health as I
expected, but hope to improve gradually as time goes on.
The weather here is broken—two or three days of fair weather alternating with a few days of rain. Fairly warm so far, getting colder at nights.
Looking through some old papers the other day I came across a cutting from the "Sunday Chronicle" dated Feb 27th
1887. Probably you have not seen it, and I think I will enclose it. It is of very
slight value but is interesting because of its source—the S. C. having a large
circulation amongst the working classes here & being very radical & heterodox in
character.—It pays you the left-handed compliment of professing to employ a
"Walt Whitman Junior" on its staff, whose verses often appear but do no credit to
the name!
Dr Johnston seems in good health now & very busy.
I hope that the "grippe" has now left you, &, with love & best wishes always, remain
Yours affectionately J. W. Wallace
