  Dear Walt

Your letter of August 1st to hand, it was printed in the Athenaeum of Aug 22nd and in Daily News of 24th. A week ago William Rossetti sent off to you £21.2.0 and £1. sent by Aldrich; this latter is in the form of an American Bank draft, wh Aldrich said should be forwarded to you in that form; I do not know in what form Rossetti has mailed you the £21.2.0. This then is an instalment​ installment​ of the money accruing from the scheme.

We have got John Fraser to print a circular reprinting Athenaeum paragraph with a list of names and your letter in facsimile, expect copies Monday morning. Will send a copy to you.

   

William Rossetti and your friends generally were very pleased and glad to get your letter (William Rossetti remarking that it was a very nice letter.) I am very glad dear Walt that you have one good stout friendly Jersey woman in Mary Davis.

I trust that you will soon resume your rides over to Philadelphia on the boat. I have just returned from the country, hence a little delay in getting off this note.

With best love Herbert H Gilchrist.

P.S. William Rossetti sent you the £21.2.0. through the post office.
