My dear Rossetti,

The bearer of this note is Col. Richard J. Hinton, of this city (though English by birth), a friend of mine, who calls to make your acquaintance.

Truly yours, Walt Whitman.

I have been very ill, from paralysis, but am recovering.

Your books (two sets) reached me safely, and gave me great pleasure. I am perfectly satisfied with the selections from my poems—and feel grateful to you for your kindness to me throughout the books. I do not forget you. I will write again when I feel well. My address remains the same—Solicitor's Office, Treasury, here.

W.W.
