Your sister Abigail and Mrs Dart have just been here to see me & have given me the latest news I have had ab't you for a long time—Glad to get the visit & glad to hear—I am getting along in much the same fashion as before, do not get out or around at all—but keep fair spirits & am comfortable enough (—just now under a cloud physically, bad cold in the head & kidney troubles)—bad weather yesterday & to-day, am sitting here by the fire—a parrot and canary in the room—Ernest Rhys has been here some time—is now in Boston—Morse the sculptor has gone temporarily to Indiana—Kennedys W W book is be is to be pub'd by Wilson in London I believe—I hear frequently from Dr Bucke, he is all right—I got a letter from O'Connor three days since—he is pretty ill yet, but I believe gets to the office—I write a little—short bits, to order mostly—spend the time seated in my big chair here, quite aimlessly—
Love to 'Sula and to Julian—Write when you can— Walt WhitmanI enclose slips but you may have seen them before—
