Will you afford me the pleasure of possessing your "November Boughs"? I will remit you when I learn the price, of which I am ignorant at present. Professor Dowden told me of your having published a special ed of "L of G" & shewed it me. You have already kindly signed "R.W. Colles from Walt Whitman" in your books for me may I ask a like favor for "N.B." Owing to severe illness, I have not yet been able to deliver the public lecture I intended to do. My heart has been very bad for [illegible] months. I am better and hope to ful[illegible] promise as well as realize a [illegible] long entertained. If you will be good enough to forward me a photograph I shall deem it a very great favor & will include same in remittance.
With gratitude and sincere wishes R. W. CollesI have subscribed for Sloane Kennedy's Book.
