ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE
LONDON.
ONTARIO
London, Ont.,16 Oct 1888
Your letter of 13th is just to hand. I have looked over "N.B." a good deal since I wrote you last and like the little
volume better all the time. The "Backward Glance" I consider very valuable, the
"Sands" still more so—I should be sorry to lose any of it. That is the main
point about the "Complete Works" to have an authoratative
text which can be relied on every time as what the Author intended to say. I finished my Annual Report Sunday and mailed it
yesterday—am at work now on "Lectures on Psycology & mental diseases" for
the medical students
here. Wm Gurd left for N.Y. yesterday—if all is well I
expect him to want me down in two to three weeks—so far all looks well for the
meter I am only anxious about getting it patented all over i.e. in Europe as well as
America. We are having such stormy weather—it was a little better this morning
until the last few minutes now it has set in to blow and rain at a great
rate—I am uneasy about O'Connor too, I fear he is quite
sick, should you get word from him or of him be sure to let me know—I trust it
will not be more than 2 to 3 weeks before I shall see you again.
