Cold & sunny here—Lou was in this mn'g —all are well as usual—Jess is getting along at St St. Louis—nothing very new or different—Ed is the same at Blackwood—Have not heard f'm Mary lately— A pretty bad fortnight with me the last, but might be worse— am sitting here as usual as I write this—Dr Dr. Bucke is quite sick abed—Love to you, sister dear—$2 enclosed—Sun out shining beautifully—the 1 o'c whistle just blown
Walt Whitman
