  Dear Walt:

I was delighted to get yours of the 7th, with the welcome November Boughs. My eye is now under battery treatment (assault-and-battery treatment, you would think to look at it!) and just as soon as I can recover my sight a little better, I will plunge into the volume, which now invites me through a thick blur. I hope David McKay will do better with it than   he has done with your other books. I long for you to have a good publisher.

More anon.—The weather here has turned very cold, though bright, and I am barking with influenza. November bow-wows! (Isn't this insulting!)

I hope you keep comfortable. Nelly sends her love.

Always affectionately. W.D.O'Connor Walt Whitman.       Wm D.O'Connor See notes Oct 11, 1888
