Your kind p.c. of the [illegible] inst just reached
me two days ago. Please accept of my most cordial thanks for
your great kindness in sending it—Kindness wh every succeeding week deepens
& every succeeding token of which I value the more highly because I realise the
effort it must be for you to write at all now & that
you do not
write to as many friends as you used to do. How grateful ought I to feel that I am still on your list of Correspondents! And that I am
truly grateful & that I thoroughly appreciate my great privilege I wish to
assure you of.
It pleased me greatly to know that you were no worse but I keep on hoping that some of these mails will bring me the still better news that you are improving.
Wallace arrived in Liverpool yesterday
afternoon—a fact which he intimated to me by sending me this
telegram—"How's your health?"
He is there yet, I believe, staying with Law
We are preparing a Reception for him on Mon eve: at Ferguson's when we hope to have a real good time.
I send you the Review of Reviews for Novr by this mail.
Things are going on here with us much as usual. Dull Novr weather with
good deal of fog & mist—Just got thru a very severe storm.
With kindest regards to all yr household & with best hearts love to yourself
I remain yours affectionately J Johnston To Walt Whitman
