Wallace and I are having a quiet pleasant time here. I have a great deal to do but am taking it quieter than I have usually taken such crises and am wading through with considerable equanimity and comfort. If you want to "disillusion" W. you will need to take some more heroic method as I do not see that he is any better at all at present—he is a very good fellow and as solid and reliable as a block of granite. The weather here is perfect neither hot nor cold. Our fruits and vegetables (corn, melons, tomatoes, potatoes &c &c) are abundant and extra fine—I have no desire to go to England or anywhere else at present
With best love R M Bucke
