The good letter, the £10 & the photos: reach me safely—& most affectionate responses & wishes to you & Dr J[ohnston] & "the boys" all—(Note a paper with report of public dinner, sent to J)—If different f'm last acc'ts I am rather better—get out almost daily in the open air, push'd on a wheel'd chair by a stout Canadian friend, my nurse—We are all gloomy from the great cataclysm west—
Walt Whitman
