Your good long letter of 19th came to hand yesterday afternoon—I had been at a meter meeting—all the principal stock holders present—got home about 6 P.M. and found it on my desk—I am much pleased that you have had a doctor and I look for considerable results in increased comfort—I hope you will stick to the doctor and let him stick to you!

When you have plate-proofs of the "goodbye" poems I hope you will send me a copy? Horace sent me a proof of "Deaths Valley" and intimated that it might (or not) go in the Vol. I cannot undertand you leaving it out—to my mind it is an admirable piece—most valuable. One  expression in it—naming death "God's eternal beautiful right hand" viz. contains more poetry than many a vol. of so-called poems. Oh yes, I have the Round Table "Walt Whitman" by John Robertson 1884—have had it for years.

All quiet and all well here—warm outside—snow going away rapidly—roads muddy.—The meter gets on slowly but gets on & I have hopes will do well but there is a lot of work to do yet before we make the first million out of it.

Nothing new here—Mrs B. and self think of going east for a short holiday April or May but nothing settled yet. I have a long M.S. piece by J.W. Wallace on W.W.—it is scrappy but good.

So long! With love R M Bucke
