Yours of Nov. 29. with the P. O. order 14s-6d-rec'd—(the three sums, £2 10s, £5, & 14s-6d safely rec'd)—Fervent thanks—(I wish I could return them personally)—I have been quite unwell for a week, but am easier to-day—have eaten a bit of breakfast for the first time in many days—A long cold snow-storm here—My bird is singing gaily as I write—
Walt Whitman
