Continue pretty well considering—had a good breakfast, a bit of mutton chop, bread, raspberry jam & coffee—now the fourth day of fine weather, pleasantly cool—go out in wheel chair every day a little—am pottering at my "annex"—have a little piece in (probably) the forthcoming Critic (16th Aug:) anent of Symonds' Essay "Democratic Art" & me —Shall send you a copy probably in a slip—Suppose you got what I sent ab't that ridiculous Prof: Woodberry—("the foe dies hard—& dying fights, or living fights")—

—Havn't yet written the O'C preface, but feel to, & will, & likely soon. Logan Smith has bo't twelve copies of the pocket-b'k-b'd L of G. & sent the money—the dear, good, loving faithful young man—I sell occasionally a big book (complete works)—likely they have nearly repaid the expense of their printing & binding, & I have 3/5ths left. A letter this mn'g f'm W S K —he is well—letter f'm Mr Wallace, Eng:—photo enc—good fellow—friend of Dr Johnston (no word of him, since he left here, Camden)

Harry Stafford was here yesterday—he is pretty well—is on the farm—am sitting here as usual alone all day—fair condition as c'd be expected I guess—fair bodily secretive & excretive affairs considering—dawdle on writing or reading—the summer will soon be through—Love to Mrs: B and W G— & God bless you all
