  Dear Walt

Brief must this missive be. You will probably receive it on or about Christmas Day & I send it with my best love & fervent wishes for a happy time! May it find you free from physical pain & distress & able to enjoy the society   of your dear friends who will come with their loving congratulations & good wishes for your dear welfare.

May all good attend you & yours & may the Best Blessings of God be vouchsafed to you!

I have been thinking much about you during the last few days & have often wondered how things were going on with you. Better on the whole I fondly hope & trust.

 

There is nothing of much importance here to tell you about at present—things are moving on much in their usual way & most folks seem to be busy with their own concerns—I among the rest with occasional dips into books, which however have to occupy a very subordinate place in my life & I prefer contact with the things themselves, after all, & especially with the people.

I had Wallace here for 3 hours last night. He is better again   but has not yet got into work—there is a hitch between him & his employers wh. however will, I think turn out all right in the end tho I can see that it worries him a little.

Greenhalgh also came in for an hour while he was here.

I haste this to you in the interval between my morning & afternoon round of visits.

Another wind storm here last night.

Good day to you! A Merry Christmas to you! from yours affectionately J Johnston

P.S. Got "Modern Authors" last night & lent it to J.W.W. at once.
