I send the two sets of books you requested—Also a MS copy of "My Captain"—also a little Vol: containing my Dartmouth College Commencement-Poem-address in 1872. The sets are $10 cash, & the MS $2–$22 altogether, which please remit me by post office order.
I am comfortable enough here in a democratic way, & in good heart, but physically wreck'd & paralyzed. O'Connor is now in Southern California, sick— I send you my remembrance love & thanks—
