  [This letter relates to what now forms a portion of Chap. III. of my "Walt Whitman." W.S.K] Dear W S K

Your "the Poet as a Craftsman" seems the best statement possible of the modern scientific American point of view—as it certainly is the highest & deepest (complimentary) statement of my theory & practise in L of G—I only rec'd it an hour or so ago—so reserve most of what I have to say for another letter.—

—if you can send these, do it at your leisure—only let me know if you cannot send

—I am getting along middling well. Eyesight improved again ab't as well as of late years—Walking power quite gone—Spirits buoyant & hearty—

—The December sun is shining out wistfully as I finish, & I am going out in my wagon, for a two or three hours drive—

Walt Whitman
