Camden,
N. Jersey U. S. America. Oct. 19, '75 Dear Mrs. Gilchrist,
Let me send this to introduce a call from J. B. Marvin, a valued friend of mine—a Yankee born & bred—democratic, literary, married—now briefly visiting London on business.
I still continue here laid up, but working a very little.
Your kind letters received, & welcomed. I was indeed interested in the account of the closing days of your dear mother—surely a calm & beautiful death after a calm & beautiful life.
Best love, dear friend, to you & to your children.
Walt Whitman
