  Dear friend

I have rec'd​ this from Dr Knortz & send you—although he has of course notified you to same effect—I am still living here in my own little house, & keep up fair spirits—but get around with great difficulty, (or rather I should say hardly at all) & have been stricken in my eyes, which makes me partially blind & growing worse.—Some friends have presented me with a horse & wagon—so I get out a little every day—a young friend drives for me—I receive the University Magazine, & thank you—I shall send you anything I write—(if there should be anything)—or whatever might interest you

Love to you & yours— Walt Whitman

I have sent L of G​ to Schabelitz

 
My dear Sir;

The translations of your poems are now ready for the printer and the MS will sail for Europe on Saturday next. You will receive a copy of the book in due time.

J. Schabelitz, of Zürich, Switzerland, is the publisher. I wish you would send him a copy of the "Leaves of Grass," as he reads English.

Yours very truly Karl Knortz Walt Whitman 328 Mickle St.
