Nothing special or new with me—I get out an hour or two in wheel chair most every day—just rec'd a splendid letter & book ("Prose Poems" tree calf bind'g) f'm R G Ingersoll—wonder if you w'd care for the enclosed autograph bit? If not throw it in the waste basket—am anchor'd here yet like a great helpless hulk—Send best love to the dear wife & girl & boy—
Walt Whitman
