Thank you for the postal—c. Be sure to read the interesting piece on Tennyson by Edmund Gosse in the Transcript of yesterday—ages of poets &c. Gosse greatly over-does the matter, painfully puffs Tenny.
I have been at work noons & nights & o'morns's for some weeks on a book ordered of me
by Funk & Wagnalls of
N. Y.—one of a series on Orators & Reformers.
I kind o'hope Fred. Wilson will tackle in some way my Whitman.
How about the pocket ed. of the L. of G. and the venture of Harned —the dinner-speech book?
Am planning still for that trip west.
Best love & wishes for yr health fr. yr admiring friend & pupil W S Kennedy.
