  Dear Friend Walt Whitman

I know that you will not think I have forgotten you by my long silence for I have been waiting patiently for more than four months for an answer to my last letter to you which was written some time in April, but I presume you have not received it. How well I remember the kind face that we used to look for at,   Armory Square Hospital.

I spent a week in New York City in June, my Wife was taken sick there while visiting her Sister and they sent for me to come.

I am at work at the same business that I was when I wrote to you last, Piano Forte and Melodeon work.

We have been drove quite hard with work this Summer and I have got pretty tired but there is no rest for us yet.

What do you think of the policy of President Johnson. I am inclined to think he is as big   a traitor as Jeff Davis, and I am in hopes that when Congress meets that they will go on with the impeachment.

The weather is getting quite cool here now so that it is comfortable to keep a fire.

I do not know of any thing to write about that will interest you, so I will close hoping that I will hear from you soon.

I remain yours with Love B. H. Wilson.     Benton Wilson Sept—16, '67 ans. Sept 23 '67 Atty Genls also Oct 29 '67
