Everett House, New York, Apr. 25th , 1887. Walt Whitman, Esq., Camden, N. J. Dear Mr. Whitman:—
Your second postal received. Mr. Gilder told me of Mr. Carnaghie's kind subscription. I congratulate you on your remarkable success.
How would you like to go to Boston about Tuesday, May 10th? That would be a good time. If this meets your approval let me know and I will fix the date.
I have had some very nice letters from Holmes, Norton, Grant, and others, expressing the wish that you will visit the "hub".
Yours Sincerely, J. B. Pond
