My dear Ward,

I have rec'd your friendly & generous subscription, $50, for 5 sets of my Books, & thank you heartily. I send by express to-day prepaid, three Volumes—one set complete, & a Leaves of Grass—with some other little Vols—slips, duplicate engravings of self—& a special Photo. prepared by my own hands (? for your studio)

As the very limited first issue of my new edition is about to be exhausted, your other sets will have to be delayed until a further issue, now in press, is ready.

Walt Whitman

Please send me word if the package arrives safely—
