Sorry to hear (by H) of the pain &c: f'm the bruise & fracture (is it fracture?)—if it is eligible to irritiation & feverishness don't come down here 21st inst:—I have sort of fear ab't it—I will send you all accts & reports—All goes well—you will get a sample of big poster just up—I shall go to the Hall & show myself, & just say publicly a word or so (as I wish to definitely settle my identification, sympathy & gratitude, & there has been some dodging & perhaps cowardice here)—I am keep fairly but the grip is on me bad yet—am writing.
God bless you all Walt Whitman
