Nothing special to write about—yet I tho't I would send you a line—I suppose they are all over there in London, having good times—the baby included—dear baby! henceforth not the least among the objects of our interest—
—Showery here to-day—I tho't of getting out with my horse & rig for a drive—but this prevents—I am still tied to the house & chair—a bad spell the last ten days—heat—but much less bad yesterday & to-day—Mr Morse still here sculping sculpting me & H Gilchrist with the portrait—both please me.
—I have born two little poems—which you will see in due time. It is middle of afternoon—have had five of the N Y and Phila. Sunday papers, reading all day—also looking out of the window—the mocking bird over the way is singing gay & fast—God bless you Logan boy—
Walt Whitman
