Y'rs rec'd f'm "the Aldine"—all right—come on Friday—say 3 P M—When the weather is right I go out lately—to-day have been out f'm two to three hours—start at 11 abt—Stopt at Harleigh Cemetery to look again at my burial lot—(it suits me)—then went on the Haddonfield pike three or four miles, and then wheeling around & home—all in a comfortable hansom—a friend sends it—good driver I like—

Alys Smith here yesterday—(nothing further ab't Mary's coming)—I invited Alys to the dinner—several ladies will be present—(I was afraid they would try to make it large & elegant—happy to say it will probably be neither)—I am feeling pretty well—eat strawberries a good deal—sold several books lately & got the money—a fine day, sunny-hazy so far but now (3.20) looks like a shower before dark—Horace reported seeing you—I am sitting here same as of old in chair, site, &c—no fire needed (but I have a little mornings & evn'gs)—Who is with you? Mrs: B? Pardee? Give my love to all—I most envy the S W salt air that must be breezing in there to day—

Walt Whitman
