  Dear W. Whitman,

The addresses on Giordano Bruno have come to me—many thanks—& are most welcome both for their own sakes and as a token of your kind remembrance. I have read them with   great interest & they have helped me to understand something of Bruno's philosophy.

I trust the Spring finds you fairly well. I often feel you near me in your books, & get strength & joy from them.

I have had a sorrow lately   in the death of my elder sister. She had led a very active & useful life as a clergyman's wife. I saw her a few days before her death & found her joyous, although not through any false detachment from what had been dear to her in life. In a day or two I go to visit my father who is in his ninety–first year &   who has been saddened by this loss.

Believe me, dear Walt Whitman, Ever affectionately yours Edward Dowden.
