ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE
LONDON.
ONTARIO
London, Ont.,14 Sept 1888
I have been away two days—went Wednesday—wedding yesterday back today.
Did some meter business at same time. The wedding was a very pleasant one, both
groom & bride very jolly—everything went smoothly and we all had a good time—.
The affair was very stilish—6 bridesmaids &c &c Champaine breakfast. And all the
rest of it—wedding presents very handsome and very numerous—Got back home at noon today and all
afternoon we have been having "athletic sports" at the asylum.—quite a "big time" attendants and
patients taking part—we had over $100. worth of prizes and had a lot of fun. I
suppose the books are getting on? I hope you will settle down to the notion of
issuing the big book yourself without the intermediary of
any publisher—print 400 or 500 copies—get them up in all ways in first
class style—number each—sell for $10. Advertise in the "N.B." and
perhaps in "Critic" & "Pall Mall Gazette"— let Horace do all the work except autographing—make it a solid
remembrance of yourself for your friends—make it as personal as possible
