Dark & rainy weather continued—mild cold—moderate bowel action—still eat mutton & rice broth, Graham bread, honey & tea. Am sitting here in the 2d story room, alone, trying to while away the day—But this is all the old, old story—Am feeling fairly to-day but dull, dull—I told you that Harper's Monthly (H M Alden editor) had accepted & paid for "Death's Valley," a little poemet to illustrate an engraving f'm a picture "the shadow of the Valley of Death" by the N Y painter Ennis (or Inness)—the Harpers Weekly (John Foord editor) has accepted & paid for "Bravo! Paris Exposition!"

Ed is making up the bed as I write—I have been anxious ab't the French elections—glad republicanism has done as well as it has (for want of better)—it is the lodgement of free institutions in Europe that pends—I enclose John Burroughs' last—havn't heard f'm him since—thanks f'r y'rs—
