Yours of 20th, with enclosure, came safely—Best thanks—Yours of four days previous also, telling me of Smith and family's removal—which quite put me out too—Nothing very new with me, since my return—I have not written out for print any notes of my jaunt yet—I am well, considering—
—Addington Symonds has sent me a copy of the American edition of his "Greek Poets"—Ruskin has sent to me five sets of my books—Does Mrs Gilchrist write to you? They are well—are all in London, except Beatrice,
who is in Switzerland—As I write (near noon Saturday) it is snowing heavily
here—Dr Bucke, of London, Canada is writing my
life—I suppose he has sent you his printed circular, asking information
&c. What do you think of the project?—
rec'd a letter from Mrs Ritter—She speaks of a musical composition of her husband, to go with my "Two Veterans"—& asks if I am willing it should be published—I answered expressing my consent
