  My Dear Herbert

Though I am pretty well physically it is very lonesome & dreary to me here, & I have been thinking all day how much I would like to come over & see you all & stay awhile with you. Herbert see about the store & have put up soon as convenient,—& have some dry oak wood saved the right length, split & carried up there, & piled in the room. Send me word before the end of the week. I wish much to come—

Love to all— Walt Whitman

(rec'd​ yesterday a letter from Wm Rossetti, which I will just enclose—& take again when I come over)
