  Dear J B

Your sister Abigail and Mrs Dart have just been here to see me & have given me the latest news I have had ab't you for a long time—Glad to get the visit & glad to hear—I am getting along in much the same fashion as before, do not get out or around at all—but keep fair spirits & am comfortable enough (—just now under a cloud physically, bad cold in the head & kidney troubles)—bad weather yesterday & to-day, am sitting here by the fire—a parrot and canary in the room—Ernest Rhys has been here some time—is now in Boston—Morse the sculptor has gone temporarily to Indiana—Kennedys W W book is be​ is to be​ pub'd by Wilson in London I believe—I hear frequently from Dr Bucke, he is all right—I got a letter from O'Connor three days since—he is pretty ill yet, but I believe gets to the office—I write a little—short bits, to order mostly—spend the time seated in my big chair here, quite aimlessly—

Love to 'Sula and to Julian—Write when you can— Walt Whitman

I enclose slips but you may have seen them before—
