Salter writes, and Mrs. Bush, and Longaker submits his tender condolences: Society for Ethical Culture Wednesday March 30th 92 My dear Traubel, I am sorry that I could not be with you and the other friends again this evening: My wife was quite miserable when I returned from my engagement and I felt I could not leave her. I hope you will explain to the rest for me. (When does Dr. Bucke go back?)
