  Edward Dowden My dear friend

I send you by mail to-day, same address as this note, 1 copy, Leaves of Grass and two copies Two Rivulets—Also the set, Two Vols. for Rev. A B Grosart as the address sent me for Mr. G's books dont​ don't​ appear to me specific & full enough. I have also sent same mail with this a set, Two Vols. directed Rev. Prof. Dowden, North Brantisfield Pl. Edinburgh, Scotland—(Is that address right?—The Scotland was not on the address as sent me)—I have also sent a copy of Two Rivulets to Rev. R P Graves, 1 Watson r'd​ , Leeson Park Dublin. (Eight Volumes altogether, for which the pay was some time since rec'd​ by me from Wm Rossetti,) Please   send me word soon as they reach you safely—& also whether Rev. Mr. Dowden's set was directed right—My second batch of the new edition (600 copies each Vol.) is at last now ready, & I promptly supply orders henceforward. I have many things to say to you my dear friend.

I am sitting here by the open window, writing this, 'most​ sundown—feeling pretty well for me, as things go—often think of you & yours, & the friends in Ireland—must close as I want to send this to catch to-morrow's New York mail.
