Walt Whitman to Jeannette L. and Joseph B. Gilder, 23 November 1883

My friends

I am puzzled considerably—Nov 12 I sent you from here the proof of "Eminent Visitors"1—See by the paper of 17th the errors I marked were not corrected—Same note I requested some proof slips of the E. V. article—None have reached me. Nov: 19 I wrote you (reiterating the above &) saying as I could probably not now be furnished with proof slips I would like a dozen copies of the paper—No response to either of the letters—Didnt they reach you?2
