  My Dear Old Friend

Well, they're off! Dr Bucke by the Majestic & Wallace by the British Prince

I have just returned from Liverpool where Wallace Senr Fred Wild, S. Hogkinson Will Law & I have been seeing them on board & wishing them Bon voyage   & tho we have just passed thro a violent storm of wind & rain I am glad to say that at the present moment everything looks favourable for their having a good time of it

I cannot tell you how I felt parting with J.W.W, but I introduced him to the Captain, the officers & some of the ship's company whom I know from having crossed in the same vessel. & I felt that he was   among friends. & we hope that his voyage may be pleasant & enjoyable

Oh how I longed to go with him!

God bless him & bring him safely back to us!

I have written a long letter to H.L.T wh he will perhaps read to you

Pardon more at present as it is close on mail time

 

Fred Wild has just come in & sends his love to you as does

Yours affectionately J Johnston

PS Wallace wished me to say that he intended writing to you but had no opportunity
