Another beautiful sunny day. Rec'd a kind letter from T B Aldrich Boston—he buys the big book (sending $25 for it)—Am feeling well (for me)—pass my whole time in the room & chair & bed—wonder I keep up & as good trim & spirits—but believe I do—no doctors now for over a month—No visitors to day—no mail—have flesh rubbing & massage daily—
Best love to you & N[elly] Walt Whitman
