  Dear friends all—

Seems quite a while since I have seen any of you, or heard f'm you, George or Harry, or any—Hope & pray it is going all smoothly with you all—I am still slowly getting along much on the same way as of late years, ("always sick but never die")—got out yesterday to the Cemetery for a short drive—& have eaten quite a hearty breakfast this forenoon—So you see I keep up sort o'—Dr Bucke has return'd f'm England & is here at present—well & hearty—He saw Edward Carpenter who is well & flourishing—Mrs O'Connor has been here a week returns to Wash'n to morrow—Did you get the August Lippincott's magazine? I am more helpless than ever, or I sh'd come down & see you—sister & bro: at Burlington N J are well— own sister Burlington Vermont sick & poorly—my bro: Ed all right—remembrance & love to all, to you & George & Harry & Eva & Ed & Debby & all—

Walt Whitman
