  Syracuse Walt Whitman Dear Friend

I recd​ your letter dated at Brooklyn two weeks ago to day & I assure you it gave me great pleasure to hear from you and to hear that yourself & Mother were well how I pity your poor Crippled Brother.

I would have liked to have visited you in New York if I had know it soon enough But I think I shall see you some other time and then we will have a jolly visit together.

I do not know what to say about our Baby Walt, but he is like most other Babys​ babies​ of his age (10 months) he is full of fun & is rather quick tempered or as I call it he is ugly. If you would like to have it I will send you his Photograph some time this winter, then you can judge for yourself   we have not had much very cold weather here this winter; and today it is very Pleasant.

Father & Mother & My Wife send Love to my kind Friend, & you know you have a good share of mine.

I am still at work at the same Business Pianos & Melodeons & do not know but I always shall be.

Write soon as you can.

yours with Love B. H. Wilson   B.H. Wilson
