Feeling fairly—bright sunny day—cool—was out yesterday ab't 2 in wheel chair (first time in three weeks) but it was markedly coolish, & I didn't feel to stay out long—had turn'd cool since noon—send you French paper Le Temps with "Bravo! Paris Exposition"—I am still scribbing a little—y'rs (two) came last evn'g—thanks—We have sent the Compliment to most of the foreign friends—am a good deal exercised ab't Mary Costelloe—I too feared a sort of collapse or break-down—(am a little fearful that the Spanish journey & racket will feed the enemy as much as it saps him)—

2 P M—Have had a strong currying & pummeling—good—quiet election yesterday & quiet to-day—(Harrisonian-Republicanism is losing its grip as is to have been expected)—the party-politics businesss here is a sad muddle every way. Scrawl just rec'd fr'm Kennedy—enclosed—

  good morning. to W. W.

Fred. Wilson writes me that if he publishes I must pay cost of production. I can't, so I write him to return the MS. to me. I must wait till I get able. I "some" expect a little wad of money from an uncle who left his estate to revert to his nephews & nieces on the death of his wife.

I was very much impressed by the affectionate personal confessions of the dinner book.

bye bye, dear friend affec. & revere-ingly W. S. K.
