Camden N.J. Dear Sir:
I send here with five dollars (5.00) a sort of "Widows Mite" to aid your Citizen, Poet, and Philanthropist—Walt Whitman
I marvel at our Country that its intellect should be an object of charity—And aid from a foreign Country called to bestow Alms.
But the universal greed for gain; which Americans to-day seek, to the exclusion of everything
Morally, Socially or intellectually, gives little encouragement for a life
devoted to Culture.
