Last February, from Hong Kong, I sent you a line or two regarding an original edition of "Leaves of Grass." Have been able to ascertain where a copy may be got? I am very anxious to obtain one.
Will you oblige me—for a friend—with a copy of annexed lines in your autograph?—on any scrap of paper.
With best wishes, I remain, your unseen friend, in faith, hope, and charity, Thomas Gibbons
