Your "Atlantic" has, either in type or MS. an article of mine, sent on by E. H. House, and accepted by Mr. Lowell—price $40. In lieu of that sum when the piece is printed, could you enclose me $30 immediately on receiving this, and send by mail—considering this a receipt in full?
Walt Whitman Portland av. next to Myrtle | Brooklyn, N. Y.You will first inquire of Mr. L. about the article, lest I am entertaining some misunderstanding about it.
