Thank you for the kind reminder that room & breakfast plate are ready—I shall be coming along—will send you word when—
I have hardly any thing to tell about my improvement in
health—it is certain I do not get really worse—& yet lameness &
pretty bad headspells—added to which lately a great deal of pain &
oppression in left side—keep me back. John I sympathise with you in that jolly
bother among the
bees & the ground, & birds, nag, &c.—Such homely ties—&
to come in real contact—& have to do with them—
The piece I thought might amuse you in the Galaxy is "Our Neighborhood" by Lady Blanche Murphy.
—John, I enclose a slip about Carlyle, the latest news—seems to be authentic—
So long, dear friends, Walt Whitman
