  Walt Whitman; Dear Sir,

I write this, to let you know, how glad I am Walt Whitman was born; and that he writes—Oh! that there were more of the same sort, our country needs them. I hope some day to grasp your hand, and hear you speak.

"Democracy" made me yell with delight; it put things into shape that I ran all in a heap before.

Go on, and may God bless you and your efforts, as a true American.

Respectfully F. B. Gillette acting [illegible] in chg—     see notes Jan 5 1889 from Dr. Gillette on "Democracy"—no answer
