The book "Poésie Anglaise" safely rec'd—thanks & thanks again. I am still laid up here lame & paralyzed—Kept in for a year but getting along (as we call it) better & gayer heart than you might suppose. Am preparing an ed'n of Leaves of Grass to be put in pocket book binding, with fuller text, & shall send you one when ready. For this time I send loving wishes & an old fellow's benison.
