Just a line by tonights mail to send you my deep & heartfelt love & my constant sympathy in your long, long illness which you bear with such heroic magnanimity of soul
I think about you, with swelling heart, almost constantly &
during the last
three days when I have been busy sending off copies of the
facsimile to over 70 different friends
you have hardly been out of my thoughts for long together.
We had a good time here last night when Wallace read to us extracts from your
letters to Pete Doyle which we all—Dixon,
Shorrock, Hutton, Greenhalgh,
Humphreys, & self—greatly enjoyed as well as bits from L of G.
This is only an apology for a letter this time but it is the best I can do
at present as it is now mail time
With best regards to Warry & Mrs D & with best love always to you
I remain Yours affectionately J Johnston
