Y'rs rec'd—hope this will reach you over at the big building & moving around as usual—Have read the printed sheets of Horace's article in May N E Magazine—I was anticipating a great dislocation & many outs, but am relieved & find it very passable & satisfactory—Have not had the Mag. itself yet—Fine & warm here—am getting along fairly—not the deadly weakness of yesterday—have just eaten a good supper, stew'd chicken farina & tea—no bowel action yesterday or to day—Mrs. D is away—an old man, Warry's grandfather is very low, may be dying—(lots of death & bad sickness all around here)—have the window by me, open for a half hour,—reading skimpily an article on the Eng. Contemporary by E Gosse (I call him young Capt. Cuttle) on Democracy in Literature (wh' he is no more able to grasp than a neat cockroach w'd one of Kepler's principal laws)—It is most 6—Horace has been here—says the printer-foreman w'd like six pages more (to make 72, good job) if possible—fearful tho't—
