  Dear John Burroughs

How are you getting along? Havn't​ Haven't​ heard from you in a long time—My splurge on the Death of Lincoln is all ready to be splurged—I should like to deliver it on Monday evening April 14 in N Y—(or Tuesday even'g​ —if for any reason preferable)—How about making the arrangements—some respectable second or third class hall?

Is Gilder off for Europe? Would not Chas: DeKay be a good man to help? I should have written you before—but I   have been waiting a little to see if this March-April attack I had last spring wan't​ wasn't​ going to give me another hitch—but I believe not—If the arrangements could be conveniently made, I shall positively be on hand for April 14 (or 15)—Write forthwith—Love to 'Sula—How is the young one? How Smith & his?

Nothing very new with me—I keep well for me—have had a good winter—Got a letter from one Riley, from Sheffield, Eng: day before yesterday—he is a friend & young chum of Ruskin—the latter accepts me, & goes it strong—he adjectives the word "glorious" for L of G—
