May 24 82 Dear Mr. Whitman
Your receipt is safely received and I have mailed you the paper copy of the "Leaves.". I am extremely sorry for the contretemps which has caused the change, but I am very glad of opportunity I have had of personal acquaintance with you. I hope to retain your good will in spite of our compulsory business separation.
Very Truly Yours: B. H. Ticknor
