Pretty bad days and nights with me—very hot weather cont'd—the bladder aff'r broke out worse—thank the dear friends for urging you to come on a trip to America largely on my acc't, & thank you for considering it but I feel that y'r decision in the negative is the best and wisest, & approve it decidedly—Suppose you have had some tremendous talks with Dr B[ucke] (he carries heavy guns)—Did you get y'r duplicate photos? the one with * on back was a faithful pict: of me period f'm '60 to '70 (the war time) & was the favorite of Wm & Mrs: O'Connor—the head on white paper unmounted was taken in the war toward close, down in Virginia—I believe you are to get one of each those two—Horace is gone to Wash'n, returns to morrow—I rec: letters & papers, best thanks—a little breeze springs up as twilight comes—

July 20—Yrs of 10th rec'd this mn'g & well conn'd—heat cont'd—Warry is down stairs practising on his fiddle—the agent of some suburban lots has just been to see me (I have a notion of investment)—all goes on as fairly as c'd be expected—

Love to you & B[ucke] & J[ohnston] & all the friends— Walt Whitman
