Dr B has been quite under the weather & this is the just rec'd note of recovery—Bad days with me have been specially the past ten—at this moment sitting alone here a little chilly—have just had a cup of hot cocoa—The proofs of little "Good-Bye" are done, (66) and the pages cast—(if you like careless touches you'll be satisfied with it)—20 pp: go into L of G. as concluding annex—the rest is melanged prose "as if haul'd in by some old fisherman's seine & disburs'd at that"—It will, after the first specific ed'n, be bound as latter part of "November Boughs" & go with that—I hear that May NE Magazine has a piece ab't me with pictures—haven't yet seen—HLT is well & faithful as ever—as things are I understand perfectly well that definition Epictetus gives of the living personality—body "a corpse, dragging a soul hither—thither"
