TRIBUNE BUILDING,
NEW YORK, N. Y. Cable Address,
"Aiddecamp, New York." Dec. 3, 1889. Walt Whitman, Esq., Dear Sir:
Bishop Potter suggests that a short letter giving your ideas how best "To lift, how little howsoe'er, the hearts of toilers struggling here," would perhaps be a better idea than the one suggested in my previous letter. I should like to hear from you in response to either of these questions. A letter of one hundred words would perhaps be sufficiently long for this purpose.
Very truly yours, S. S. McClure
