I have from you today two papers—one with a piece about Blake & Whitman—the other with a report of a speech by Wiman—thanks. I am much distressed today to hear from Horace that you have been (at least when he last saw you—last Tuesday night) worse than usual—perhaps (I hope so) before this you are easier again—if not you will be bad enough when this reaches you. It is a dull and weary world (for you) just now—and, indeed, has been for long enough. We who are well and strong can hardly realize what a bad time you must have—my greatest comfort at present is that Horace is near you. Nothing new here—plodding along as usual, meter not yet out! Feeling well & hearty however except for anxiety about you.

I send you best love and best wishes and wish I could do more R M Bucke   see notes april 12 1891
