Have had a pretty bad day—ab't one of the real bad spells (except no really definite spell such as that special Monday)—but giving out the last 6 or 8 hours most physical & moral energy—no action at all of bowels or water works—no eating—have just risen and eaten three or four mouthfuls—(Baker's strong advise)—am now sitting here in the chair (3.40 P M)—At this moment indicates rain shower—Y'r letter rec'd—I hope Eng. ed'n "Dem Vistas &c" will come yet safely—it is the best specimen of typographic make & binding (for modest expense) yet turned out there—Suppose you've got the further proofs to page 70—mail'd them yesterday—Shall have some little mendings, changings &c. to plates.

Later Thursday—9½ p m—I am less uncomfortable—Horace Traubel has been in for a short visit, & to bring the latest print proofs &c:—All things go on & I am satisfied so far (I have just paid him, Ferguson, $50)—have just swallowed a calomel powder preparatory to go to bed—we have had a slight rain—the quiet in comparison of the last three days & nights is very helpful to me—

Noon, Friday, July 6—No particular change in the situation—I am appreciably better—bowels voided—temperature &c. very fine—am sitting up quietly this moment—heavy rather dulness​ dullness​ & pain head—suppose you are up to your neck with work & responsibility—well I rather envy it all, supposing & the feeling & ability & physical plus

Love to you all— Walt Whitman
