I sent thanks by Mr. Traubel in my letter to him for the
photograph of William, & also for the pictures of the
"laughing Philosopher," & the note enclosed. I have a photog. like it & will
send it, with another, to Rossiter Johnson & let him select. I return
yours. Send me a
postal card that I may know if you get it safely. I have been ill since I came here
(to Nantucket) but am better now. I am with a widow lady friend for a short time,
but soon expect to be near Boston, & so please send to the address at the head
of this letter. Glad that you had such a pleasant visit with Sir Edwin Arnold. You
know he married the daughter of our dear friend William
Henry Channing who used to be in Washington during the war.
I did receive Liberty with Horace Traubel's article & wrote him at once thanking
him for it. It is noble and generous & touched me most deeply. I have written to Tucker asking him to save six copies for me
till I go to Boston, & can call or send for them. I hope
Mr. Traubel got my letter.
How goes it with you?
Send a line.
With love always— Nelly O'Connor.I send potog. by this mail.
