Lynn, Mass. May 26 1884 Mr. Walt Whitman: Dear Sir,
I send you with this letter two copies of our paper, both containing notices of your poems. Permit me to thank you warmly for the great inspiration I have received from the reading of Leaves of Grass. In my opinion, it marks a new era in American Literature; and is to stand out more and more prominently, as time advances, as the distinctively American book
Most Respectfully, S. W. Foss
