  Dear Walt Whitman:—

We all enjoyed the Sun-Set piece very much, Clement gave it a place of honor. It it is very beautiful & profound. Thank you.

I see by the papers that yr brother Tom is dead. I often think of "Jeff," as I saw him at yr house

I rather admire, so far as I knew him that grim Parnell. Carlyle wd have liked his attitude I think—Gladstone seems to dwindle just now in comparision—G. whom Carlyle called a man "who always looks at the mere clothes of the fact."

I am so sorry about that belly-ache business of yours

E.H. Clement—our Ed. in chief seems in no hurry to print our Dutch piece, does he? Well, he will use it some time

Frau Kennedy sends her love & thanks you for remembering her in yr letters

We are quite well & happy, are attending theatres considerably Enjoyed Jefferson in or Pangloss & as Bob Acres immensely, though I think Irving tremendous, too, also saw two of the old comedies at the Museum—our most comfortable theatre as to ventilation. I am trying to get a picture of old Boston 100 years ago in my mind.

How wonderful & grand seems to be Dr Koch's discovery! I 'allus' thot it 'ud come.

affec. W. S. Kennedy
