Am sitting here pretty much same—got in a new cord of saw'd & split oak wood, so I keep warm enough—sold a book yesterday—Heard f'm Ed this mn'g —he is well & hearty—Been a long dark rain storm, three days & nights here, but the sun is out this mn'g .
—Am at my 2d annex for L of G. to complete it—God bless you, sister dear, 2 enclosed—
Walt Whitman
