To Walt Whitman Esq: 328 Mickle Street, Camden, New Jersey. U.S. Sir,
Having added the Editorship of this Magazine to my duties on the Pall Mall Gazette my thoughts at once turned to you, in the hope that you would let me have a poem for publication in this very widely circulated serial.
Will you have the Kindness to
inform me if you
have such a poem by you—not too long—& unpublished, of
course—&, preferably, one which would lend itself to illustration? And
also on what terms you would let me have such a poem? And, if you haven't this, if you could write one?
Awaiting the favor of your reply, & in the hope that your health is in a satisfactory condition.
I am, Sir, Faithfully yours, M. H. Spielmann, EditorI send a copy of the magazine herewith for you to judge of.
