for the Insane London. Ontario London, Ont., 1 Jan 1889
Your card of 30th to hand this forenoon. I am glad you are holding out but I fear you are not having a very good time. We had a young peoples' party at the home last night and they danced the new year in. We were very merry (as old Pepys would say) but it makes a fellow feel rather stupid next day. Was a lovely bright forenoon, clouded over now. Nesbit is here since yesterday afternoon, he, Gurd and I consulting over the meter—not sure yet what our next step in advance will be. I enclose a note from Mrs Pardee wh may interest you—
Your friend R M Bucke
