Yesterday came to my hands your card of 2d inst. I have not written you as often as I
should have liked. Life is at high-pressure here especially when your time is so short as mine on this visit.
I have the "Post" with "Over-sea greeting" and also the same thing on a slip from Bolton (one of several, I infer,
that Horace sent over to Johnston or Wallace).
Horace is mighty 'cute to utilize the scraps as he does—it is well,
all well—can do no harm and may help. We must keep moving, cannot stand still
in fact—time for that is gone. I expect to spend next Sunday with
Carpenter in Millthorpe, then go Monday to Bolton & stay there till Wednesday morning—run to L'pool
after breakfast and get aboard "Majestic" before noon. She sails abt. noon. I ought to reach N.Y. 1st
or 2d & see you
2d or
3d—4th, I think, at latest. Shall be very glad to see you again.
I enjoy it over here but "there is no place like home."
My visit here has been a great success—I have been well received and treated on all hands, I shall feel richer for it for the rest of my life.
Keep good heart, dear Walt, till I get back—but in any case be easy about "L. of G." and the good cause—they are one all right
Your loving friend R M Bucke
