July 15 Dear friend Susan Stafford
I should like to come down & see you & see George, but I am quite poorly & it has been such hot weather—I am quite concerned about him & w'd wish to help somehow—If you w'd wish a little money I can let you have it, as I can spare it—or if there is any thing George would like that I c'd get up here, you write me, & it w'd be a pleasure to me to get it—I send George my love & the same to you all—
Walt Whitman
