After a second siege of grip worse than the first—seven or eight days—am now easier—Dr B[ucke] is to [be] here next week if plans are carried out—I still write a little—appetite returned (had fled away)—am feasting on strawberries—Wish I c'd hear f'm you oftener—John Burroughs & wife & boy are back on their farm West Park—No news ab't Eldridge—
Walt Whitman
