Here is for your edition, a special concluding note to "Specimen Days"—a short Preface for it I have already sent you—also I suppose you have rec'd the parcel of pictures I sent you—Nothing very new with me—I have been lately ab't the same as usual, but am quite unwell to-day—I shall send an additional paper or so to eke out the "Democratic Vistas" volume—I told you in the former note that I gave you power to decide in such exigencies as always occur in book publishing, & I confirm it—
Walt Whitman
