  My dear Mr. Whitman,

I can hardly tell you what pleasure it gave me to meet you—to look into your eyes, to hear your voice, to grasp   your hand and to thank you for the brave and splendid words you have uttered.—

I recd copies of the Camden Post and I think that I recognize your work in the wonderful tribute   paid to me. Sometime I will pay, so far as may be in my power, a fitting tribute to your character and genius. Of course what I said was fragmentary—almost incoherent—giving only the faintest outline—indicating here and there a mountain peak, leaving the rich & beautiful valleys without a word. May many happy years be yours—With thanks I remain

Yours always R G Ingersoll   See notes June 6, '90   on p 120
