Yours of 13th has been longer than usual getting
answered. I have begun my annual report and am more occupied than ever but this
should not make me neglect writing to you and shall not
again. Am real glad to see that K's piece may soon be out.
Guess it will be
good—Had a letter from Johnston this moment he says: "This
morning an hour talk with Ingersoll and I got his promise and authority to proceed
and get up a lecture entertainment by him for Walt's benefit—in Phila I
guess—shall I put you on committee?" Of course I told him to put me on and if
all be well I shall go down to the show and please the Lord we will have a grand
time of it.
All well here—lovely weather—the "Western Fair" opens in London tomorrow—the city will probably be very full this week and next we shall have a cheerful time at the asylum, too
