We have this satisfaction however, that his health aside from his lameness is now excellent and his mind more composed than I have almost ever known it. And I think he has a kindlier feeling toward the whole world. More-over the end is not yet and I believe he will yet spend his last days with us. I told him that the room we had arranged for him would be his still and would always be kept for him till he should come back to it.

I'm now about as far from you as I will be this year---only this wee sail to the North and then to thee, my lassie. And I'm not away at all you know, for only they who do not love may ever be apart.
