Your letter of Feb 6th & 7th to Johnston to hand today.
We have just spent the evening together—first at his house,
then in a 4 mile walk in the country here—Johnston returning by train.
Snow on ground, air clear &
frosty, stars large & lustrous—Venus & Sirius especially so.
We intend to have exact fac-similes of your letter lithographed & to send them to all your friends.
How deeply your letter has stirred us I cannot tell you. Our hearts best love to you for ever.
God bless you. Wallace
