  Dear Mr. Whitman,

Many thanks for sending me the notice of your lecture, with the added paragraphs, which I am very glad to possess.

It grieves me to hear of your bodily infirmity, but the spirit remains strong & sane & sweet—& that is the chief thing.

My father still lives, at the age of ninety-one. But   I have lately lost my sister. I saw her a few days before her death, which she looked forward to with great happiness. We had rather a true reunion than a sorrowful parting—& yet there was sorrow in it too.

Affectionately yours Edward Dowden
