now and I am longing for the time to soon come round again when we will all meet and have the same over again.

Welcome home again! -
Davids letter said - John may be home tomorrow -- and a recent letter from Sarah said "John arrived at home - the 27th" - - The news was glad news - and I was glad enough to shout aloud - and might have done so could you have heard the loudness - and recognized it as mine: as it was I quietly rejoiced, and went about my work

When Prof. Sargent and I were setting out on our journey we looked forward to a visit to you as one of our greatest pleasures, and you must know our regret on leaving London without seeing you. We had an interesting trip, though far too short through S[outhern] Russia, the Crimea, along the Black Sea …
