However, I shall send it to the address you gave me. I have never rec'd. any papers of the last Congress: nor have I heard for a year from Mrs. Ward Howe. Poor Mrs. [[Waggett? Woggett?]] sent me a card of her good husband's death - & I wrote her lately. I sympathize with her deeply; her Husband was so good & true, no wonder she droops entirely at first, without him.

I still hope to enjoy some day! I am yours affectionately C W Johnston -
