Went out yesterday afternoon on a short drive to the cemetery—& have eaten quite a hearty breakfast this forenoon—so you see I am getting along fairly. Wallace is expected hourly. Dr. B[ucke] is of course here yet, is hearty & flourishing—expecting to take J. W. W[allace] on with him to Canada. Am alone at present—is abt 1½ p.m.—quiet & sort o' warm—pleasant—rain last night.

Sunday evening.—Quite a little levee down in my front room f'm 3 till after 5—I down there in the big chair by the window—six or seven persons—then at 5½ my supper. No news of J. W. W. yet. Horace & Dr. B. are going over to Phila early forenoon to speir of British Prince. I will keep this open to send by steamer by the 9th.

Sept: 8, 5½ p.m. Wallace has arrived all right—has been here with me this afternoon—is well & in good spirits—goes off to Canada with Dr. B. to-morrow night—had a good passage. All is jolly. Respects to all friends.
