associate it with mournfulness,
for then I should wrong the past
May your son live to revive
the picture of an upright Christian
gentleman abiding there in
honour and leaving a like
example for his children.

To this end I know your
efforts will be directed and
I wish them God speed.

Will you kindly tell Jas Chisholm
that I mean to unite to
him, but that the dilatory
movements of publishing
people have prevented me
from doing so hitherto.

I will not encumber this
note with such matters.

Just at present there is fine
weather and reaping has been
begun. People wistfully eye the
clouds each day. My kind
regards to yourself & all friends.

Yours sincerely

G W Rusden.
