Yours of yesterday, with clipping from the N[ation] rec'd—thanks—(Always so glad to hear or get letters from you, dear friend)—
I am getting along pretty well physically, have stood the summer well so far—digestion matters better—have been writing somewhat busily for me the past three or four weeks—articles, generally ordered ones—Century—N A Review—and Lippincott's—a little bit about Shakspere in last Critic—
