  My Dear Walt

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
