Feb. 27. '74 Dear Mr. President,
Hoping, (should time & inclination favor,) to give you a moment's diversion from the weight of official & political cares—& thinking, of all men, you can return to those scenes, in the vein I have written about them—I take the liberty of sending, (same mail with this) some reminiscences I have printed about the war, in nos. of the N. Y. Weekly Graphic.
I am not sure you will remember me, or my occasional salute to you, in Washington. I am laid up here with tedious paralysis,—but think I shall get well & return to Washington.
Very respectfully Walt Whitman
