ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE
LONDON.
ONTARIO
London, Ont.,7 Sept 1888
"Same subject continued" glorious weather and all quiet here at Asylum. Annual Report
will have to be written this month, not begun yet, meter moving slowly, wedding to
attend in Sarnia next week—a nephew of Mrs Bucke's (Fred. Kittermaster a young and
very promising lawyer) marrying a daughter of Mr Pardee—will be a grand affair. You ought to see the melon patch in our garden
here—hundreds of melons lying thick on the ground Little Robbie has just come into the
office—all the rest of the children go to school—Robbie has got to be a
great boy for horses—wants to be riding or driving all the time—can
handle a quiet horse as well as any one—will be seven years old the coming
Xmas.
I suppose you have not yet read "Robert Elsmere" by Mrs Ward—it is quite a book & I believe has made quite a stir in England—I am just reading it—it is calculated to make the modern Britisher think—
Love to you RM Bucke
