  To Walt Whitman Poet Dear Sir

Mr. Marvin has given me a prospectus stating that a new Edition of your works is about to be published by yourself in three vols. and that the price of the set will be ten Dollars. Wishing to have these books and also to contribute a trifling amount towards the promulgation of such works of genius as do honor to our country & to humanity, I enclose twenty Dollars which I hope you will accept   in payment for one set of the books & as a token of my best wishes for the success of your enterprise and for the speedy restoration of your health that you may be able to continue your contributions to the literature of our country both in prose & Poetry and also that you may yet enjoy the satisfaction of a full appreciation of their merits

With great respect I am yours truly N. M. Johnson     N M Johnson (order for books—sent March 17, '76)
