  My Dear good old Friend

Just a line to you by tonights mail to send you my love once more—always that, always that—& the best I possess, along with my warmest sympathy.

I hope you have had a good day & that your sleep tonight   will be better than you have had of late. Horace continues to write to us every day & we send the letters on to Forman, Symonds, Carpenter & others

We have just seen Harper's for Aprilwith your new poem, Alexander's two new portraits of you & Inness's picture.

Though I do not write much—for I fear to trouble you—my Love knows no   lessening.

Good night to you dearest & best of friends & God bless you!

Yours affectionately J Johnston

P.S. I have got my dear good old father staying here with me & am very happy to have him too.
