God bless the church & branch of the church (with candelabras blazing more fervidly than any) that is planted & grown in Bolton! I have rec'd Dr Bucke's letter & acc't of y'r reception there & thank you all, f'm the bottom of my heart. Things go on with me—I sit up & read & eat, but little or no zest—suppose you & dear J W W[allace] have rec'd the tomb photos I sent—best love to you both, & all the friends—
