My dear Ferguson
I got your letter of 8th July today – Your input to have got two letters from me within the past months – one written before I knew of Arthurs death – the other afterwards – I send you back Arthur's letter for I think it is one of the things would ought to keep – I know I have kept the little things Archies superiors to me of him. As for Mrs Curlewis' verses – I think them wholly admirable. I think them much more than merely food – They are the actual sentiments which dominated Arthur in his life and death – I would like only to alter the [indecipherable] last line – and substitute something else for "Salute" – It would not be different to make it I can with almost the substitute words of like in peace, a gallant gentleman . Ive sent [indecipherable] – but Ill read him against [indecipherable] a more discerning heart.
