Dear E C—

Am still here holding out (sort o' as I call it)—Did you get the two big vols: (Complete Works 900 pp) I sent for you in a bundle by International Express to my friend R Pearsall Smith 44 Grosvenor Road, Embankment, London? One copy was for you & one for Miss Ford—If not rec'd by you, send & get them—

Things are going on much as ever, every additional season a peg or two falling out—ab't same constitutional good spirits (a great factor) holding on, but grip & bladder bother—I enclose you my latest piece just out—Had a benefit, Philadelphia, grand (eulogistic) speech f'm R G Ingersoll—Suppose you have rec'd the report in newspaper I sent—the Staffords are as usual—Harry has given up telegraphing & has a farm—has two children—Dr Bucke is well in Canada—comes down here occasionally—
