  From Burlington 1865 Dear Walt

i am here yet i feel pretty well i thought last night i should not stay here much longer there was quite a blow out of coarse i did not participate in the scrap but walt i felt bad i cant write it perhaps its better to not the greatest hardship for me is to be compeled to be pleasant to one you dislike han has every thing to live on provitions by the quantaty and nice place but she has few cloths only what she fixes over she keeps house very nicely and is very forbearing puts up with every thing) i got your letter walt the only one i have received since i have been here i got the money too what you sent me before i came and since i came i have written to matty and george and jeffy and havent had any letter from any of them han is much better she says than she has been and sends her love to you and wants you to come here very much indeed she wants to see you and wants you to see a place for sale across the lake at Birmingham ½ miles from keesville and 3 miles from port kent the line of steamboats run from new york and stops at port Kent and so to burlington) this place at birmingham was very active in time of the war with factories nail and other factories but since the war there is not much business but a man that lives there told me very much about it   the house and ground around it is 400 dollar he said the house and by his tell the ground must be very cheap he said there was fruit and the ground very good indeed and spring of water there is a steam boat runs from here several times a day 50 cent acrost han says if you will only come she will doo ever so much to make you like your visit this place i speak of is in new york state on the map i suppose han thinks you must buy it and settle down and get married i suppose the lake is very beautiful this gentleman that spoke to me about it said they didint feel as if they were very far from new york i wont write any more about that) but how i doo want to see the young ones dont of course you wont write any thing about what i say about the little conceited fool but write about every thing you can think of if heyde would only go off schetching i should be very glad but i suppose i must stand it the best i can i have got one more envelope besides this to you walt and then if i stay longer you must send me one i wish you could come for a few days dont be worried about me i will try to stand the gramatical phrases

so good by walt for the present L Whitman
