Just a line to you by tonights mail to send you my love once more—always that, always that—& the best I possess, along with my warmest sympathy.
I hope you have had a good day & that your sleep tonight
will be better than you have had of late. Horace continues to write to us
every day & we send the letters on to Forman,
Symonds, Carpenter & others
We have just seen Harper's for Aprilwith your new poem, Alexander's two new portraits of you & Inness's picture.
Though I do not write much—for I fear to trouble you—my Love knows no
lessening.
Good night to you dearest & best of friends & God bless you!
Yours affectionately J JohnstonP.S. I have got my dear good old father staying here with me & am very happy to have him too.
