Rudolf Schmidt, Dear Sir:

I have received, (through Mr. Clausen) your letter of 19th October, from Kopenhagen—& I cheerfully forward you my poems "Leaves of Grass," & a small prose work of mine, "Democratic Vistas." I also enclose several articles & criticisms written about my books in England & America within the last ten years.

May I say, there is something about your letter & application that has deeply pleased me. I should like to know your country & people—& especially you yourself, & your poet Björnson—and Hans Andersen. How proud I should be to become known to you all.

Pray let me hear from you—and if the books & papers reach you safely.

Please accept my best, brotherly good will.

Any thing by mail will reach me addressed

Walt Whitman Washington, D. C. U. S. of America
