 loc_js.00138_large.jpg June 8, 1883.1 Dear Mr Whitman,

I received the paper you were kind enough to send me containing a review of Dr Bucke's book, and thank you for sending it.

You are not forgotten by your Boston friends, and they are glad to be remembered by you—The book will be waited for with great interest. The cast of your hand I shall soon send to Paris to be cast in bronze. I send you the best wishes for your health and much affection.

T. H. Bartlett  loc_js.00137_large.jpg
