Wm. F. McCully. June 26 1883 Dear Sir,

I am collecting material for an article upon the late Sidney Lanier, a true American singer, whose early death is much to be regretted. I take the liberty of asking you if you have preserved a letter which Lanier wrote you. If so, may I see it, or may I have a copy thereof?

Yours truly William R. Thayer To Walt Whitman, Esq. Camden, N.J.
