Yours of May 24 (with the printed slips Preface & Add'l Note) rec'd—& welcomed, as always—nothing further rec'd, but I suppose some books will be coming soon. Thank you for the "Buchan's Ballads" bro't by Herbert Gilchrist—I specially enjoy such things—I am ab't as usual (perhaps a little under a cloud, passing, I hope)—we hear from dear Mrs. C[ostelloe] and the birth of the child (Rachel—good name)—Mr S[mith] will be over there, almost with this—he is a very dear & valued friend of mine—Alys too—
