All goes fairly with me. Yesterday & to-day I am perceptibly better—Cooler & signs of September—Still adhere to my 2d story room & the big chair—Have just had a call from the Phila. man of the N. Y. Herald who asks something of Elias Hicks (& the Nov: B)—for the paper—wh' I promise to give—will send to-morrow. Your letters come & are welcomed. No news yet of Herbert Gilchrist but I expect him any moment—I have somewhere a printed slip of "Old Age's Lambent Peaks" & will yet send it—but I cannot lay my hand on it this moment—a cloudy rather pleasant day, almost cool—quiet—I reiterate the offer of my mare & phaeton—
Walt Whitman
