I think I have all of your books (2 or 3 Editions of some) except the
last,—specified in my former note,—which alone I intended to ask for. That might be
sent by mail. I write this because in your card you speak of sending me books, & because I really desire only one.
I still go back occasionally to the old "Leaves of Grass" & find in them the same
unfailing freshness & power, which repeated readings in no wise dull to the sense—a test which
only master studies in literature can stand. They seem very great to
me. I am thankful for them.
