U.S. America. Feb. 11 /76 W. M. Rossetti: My dear friend,
I would ask of you the favor to see, if convenient, whether the enclosed article The American War would be available for the Academy—(or any where else if you think preferable.)
I would like pay for it—would be satisfied with 25 or $30.
I am getting along much the same. My new book wont won't be out yet, publicly, for a month.
Walt WhitmanI also send a little hitherto unpublished poem, The Man-of-War Bird—which I can't sell here—I wonder if you could sell it for me, in London? It is not in my new book, & is entirely fresh.
