—So K is back all right & this is his letter—The same subject continued with me—bodily matters fair—Have just written to some (unknown) friends—quite a cluster of them, men & women, Bernard O'Dowd their spokesman—in Melbourne, Victoria, who persistently read & inwardly digest L of G. there at the antipodes & get along with it (as far as the law allows)—O'D's letters please me—Nothing very new with me—Y'r letters rec'd—quiet here to day—fine weather—McKay sent over for big book yesterday—Horace T cannot get away till October—Did I tell you that a monument designer, Phila: has bro't me a design for the Cemetary vault (do you remember Blake's "Death"?)
Best love to you all— Walt Whitman
