All as usual with me—Sit here in the big ratan heavy-timber'd old yellow chair much the same as when you were here—pleasant weather (frequent showers)—Warry is somewhere down in the cellar with the wood-fuel preparations & cleaning up—the massage book came safe (valuable book)—I have sent a 2d copy of p'k't-b'd L of G. to our friend Wallace—enclosed letters f'm Dr Bucke to me rec'd lately—(I just send letter to Dr B who writes me ab't twice a week—welcome)—Warry has just come in & made the bed—A sudden quite heavy shower—Loving salutation to you, to Wallace & to all the friends
Walt Whitman
