Dear Helen Price

Your good letter has come, & I am glad indeed to hear from you, & sister & father, & have you located—All sorrowful, solemn, yet soothing thoughts come up in my mind at reminiscences of my dear friend, your dear mother—have often thought of you all, since '73 the last time I saw you so briefly—so sadly—

About Dr Bucke—(he is a long-established medical doctor & head of the Asylum for the Insane, at London, Ontario, Canada)—you can write to him freely & send him what you feel to—he is a true & trusted friend of mine—I know him well—

I have just returned from Boston, where I have been the past week—went on to read my annual Death of Abraham Lincoln on the anniversary of that tragedy—

I am pretty well for me—am still under the benumbing influences of paralysis, but thankful to be as well as I am—still board here (make my head quarters here) with my brother & his wife—Eddy, my brother, is living & well, he is now boarding ab't 40 miles from here—Yes, Helen dear, when I come to New York, I will send you word sure—Best love to you, Emmy, father & all, especially little Walter—

Walt Whitman
