O'Connor has been here visiting me on his return to Wash'n—I have written an acc't to Dr B[ucke] wh' he will send you—I sh'd not wish any such item as that ab't my alleged opinion of Stedman to be printed— I have no such opinion—My feeling toward S is one of good will & thanks, markedly—O'C says he is a good fellow, & I say so too—Nothing new with me specially—A new little piece of mine out in Nov. Lippincott's wh' I will send you probably to-day—
Walt Whitman
