My dear friend

Yours of 19th Oct rec'd​ —(I came up yesterday from the country & found it)—I return you Forman's letter—am glad you sent it me—but have nothing decisive to say at present for myself about New English edition—

Doctor, I want to come to see you & be with you all, truly—& shall do so—but havn't felt the spirit move me the past summer—look for me next summer—

I am well, for me—have had a good summer—

Rec'd​ a long & kind letter from Tennyson day before yesterday—

As I scribble this (noon) the greatest gale I ever knew seems to be just subsiding—Our town streets are strewed with wrecks, roofs, timbers, trees &c—

Love to you & yours Walt Whitman
