  Dear Sir,

Mr. House inform'd me that you accepted, and would publish, my "Bardic Symbols." If so, would you, as soon as convenient, have it put in type, and send me the proof?

About the two lines: (See from my dead lips the ooze exuding  
 at last!
See the prismatic colors glistening and rolling!)
I have in view, from them, an effect in the piece which I clearly feel, but cannot as clearly define.—Though I should prefer them in, still, as I told Mr. House, I agree that you may omit them, if you decidedly wish to.

Yours &c Walt Whitman Portland av. near Myrtle Brooklyn, N. Y.   Walt Whitman.
