Am sitting here in my den, & will write a line—Much the same as usual comfortable—good oak fire—cold weather—do not get out—busy myself writing or reading—alone most the time—have some friends come in occasionally—the enclosed is Jessie's letter I tho't you might care to read—poor J is getting composed—have just sent off a piece for publication—will send it to you when printed—
Jan:9 night again—have had to put off sending this—will send it to-morrow afternoon—writing to day—this evn'g rec'd some reprints f'm last photo portrait & will soon send you one—
Jan: 10 A M—have had my breakfast of buckwheat cakes & tea—feeling pretty well considering—looks out like snow—God bless you sister dear
with love Walt Whitman
