Cooler & pleasant—I am well—Hartmann (the Japanee) was to see me. Is in N Y city, journalizing—a queerish fellow, (for all the fellows, litterateurs as well as any, the moral marrow is the spinal sine qua non—without wh' not, then not)—There is a book ab't American Poets (I don't know the name) by (Prof. I believe) Enrico Nencione, Florence, Italy, in wh' is a chapter devoted to L of G & me quite appreciative & favorable—must have been pub'd (say) two y'rs ago—you might have in mind, & be on the look out for—Prof. E N is (I believe) in the University at Florence.

Nothing specially newer with me—Am getting along well enough considering—to-day (set in last evn'g) much cooler & pleasant—yesterday Wednesday was ab't the most burning day known, following three days nearly as bad, yet I was careful eating & drinking &c, & bathed freely, & have come out so far fairly—Am just preparing some good honey in the comb (of wh' I have a little supply) to send in a sick lady next door—was down to the river last evn'g to pier, Market St here, an hour as usual—Still live on blackberries & bread & honey largely—rec'd a kind note f'm Tom Donaldson—am sitting here the same old way in my den in shirt sleeves but a merino wool undershirt on—bright sun out—

God bless you all— Walt Whitman
