I am ab't as usual in health—minus perhaps a little, as the heat of the weather here is great & a little premature—But I am getting along well—tho' the letter some four weeks ago ab't me & "millionaires" in the "P[all] M[all] Gaz:" (or was it "Athenaeum") was mostly lollipop streak'd with falsehood—but I have several beloved & staunch friends here in America, men & women—I wish you to give my love to Addington Symonds—no slips of Preface or additional note yet—no H Gilchrist yet—
Walt Whitman
