After a time of much anxiety about you the papers gave better accounts & we may hope
that your last word of promise & encouragment has not yet been spoken to men. I got
from Traubel the L. of G. of 1892—a noble
volume & just such a one as I have wished to possess. My friend Standish O'Grady
asks me to address a letter to you. Take, with his, my words of sympathy in your late heavy
trial, & of unalterable homage & love. You have given such faith & courage to
so many souls that I doubt not your own ride
high over all surges of pain & physical dissolution. And I pray that strength &
cheer may reach you from those deepest sources which you have opened up for others &
set flowing eternally. Goodbye dear Walt, may God bless and keep you in any and every
lot that may be yours.
