ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE,
LONDON,
ONTARIO
London, Ont., 15 June 1888
Since reaching home Wednesday evening I have had my hands pretty
full
and have still enough to keep me out of mischeif. The accounts from
Pardee in Sarnia
are not very good and I shall go there tomorrow evening to have a look at him. I
have heard nothing yet from Harned or Trauble Traubel
since
I left Camden but there has hardly been time—hope to get a card this
evening—I have found time to write the circular and give it to the printer, I will
send you a proof early in the week—but mind you are not supposed to see it however you may as well
and perhaps you would suggest a verbal change or two—if you feel like it
do so.
If we get plenty of money (as I confidently hope) as a result of this circular it may be that you would not care to issue the $5. book, as we spoke of, but that is a matter to consider later. Our grounds here are perfectly lovely. I wish I could drive you about them—the weather is charming here—I have in front of me, on my desk, here in my office an enormous bouquet of snowballs, peonies, sweet flag &c
Love to you RM Bucke
I have gone through "A Backward Glance" and think it by far the most valuable of all the explanatory pieces you have written. My opinion (not that it is worth any thing) is that this book of yours ought to have a sale and I think it should be published at a quite reasonable price—say $1. or $1.25 to encourage this—if it should sell it would no doubt introduce many new people to L.of G.
Mail in—no word from Camden. I hope you are not worse
