Dear John Burroughs,

Postal of 18th just rec'd​ , & glad enough to hear from you all—the interval has been a long one—I supposed you were off some where—

Nothing special with me—After I returned from N Y middle of June, went down to my Jersey farm friends a couple of weeks—but they have moved into a new place, superior for their purposes, but to me the attraction had ceased, & I left—Otherwise have been here in Camden all summer (I feel now as though I ought to have gone up & room'd in your house & boarded with Smith the last two months)—I still keep well—about the same as when you last saw me—may be a trifle ruggeder yet—

All here well—I enclose you two letters from Mrs Gilchrist in England, & one from my friend Mrs Botta, may interest you—I shall send you papers to-morrow—Weather fine yesterday & to-day here—& I am out enjoying it—(after fair days of pouring rain)

I often see your name, & extracts, (sometimes quite long ones) in the papers hereabouts—

Love to 'Sula—

Walt Whitman

That Del:​ river boat trip? Did it come off? You know I have heard nothing about it since—
