Good comfort for me to get the letter rec'd from you today—(A fellow likes so to be made much of). Probably the word "finished" abt the L. of G. I sent is Horace's, not mine. As I go over the book two points satisfy me as well as any—those are the atmosphere & the notion of all, whatever it is being in process (evolution) from first page to last. Of course I know its numberless deficiencies—but I hope I have provided for them.

Sit here alone in big chair this cool weather with big wolf-skin spread back ag't draughts—bad days & nights, every hour its suffering—inveterate gastric inertia & bladder troubles all eventually started from and germinating from the Washington paralysis through and at end of war.

Am not in want of anything—y'r noble help (toward $900) from the Phila. lecture has directly benefitted me & does to–day, in ways w'd please you well if you c'd know.

Blessings on you & on Mrs. I. & all from

Walt Whitman
