  Dear WW:—

I kept elaborating the Dutch art. It is now in Clement's hands (ed. Transcript) & will appear soon I guess. I read up Taine's rich little "Art–in the Netherlands," &c & have made a racy bit of work I think. I am not much in touch with Miss Gilder & her dilettante sheet. So tho't I cd read the proof of article better in Transcript—

I have wanted to say for long that I have read 3 times yr excellent article in Critic. Its choice & weighty diction makes us fellows despair. Walt, you have gained not lost one whit, as a prose writer. As for poetry, it must come when man is at the top of his condition you know.

affec W. S. Kennedy.
