Word rec'd every day or two f'm Dr B[ucke] or J W W[allace] f'm Canada—The latter keeps well & is evidently having a good time. The deeply interesting (& to me far too complimentary) Report of Meeting of Aug: 24 rec'd f'm friends T Shorrock and W Dixon, to whom I send aff: respects & thanks—I continue on fairly—I have just read the Report a second time ("Hold y'r horses, Bolton")—
