Walt Whitman to William D. O'Connor, 25 March [1883]

Dont be impatient because the second proof dont come—One little thing or another delays—but you shall see the revise & have your say, before the pages are cast—I hope to send it to-morrow evening—or next—

Every thing moves on, & I keep well—

You appear middling largely in letter, & mighty largely in spirit, in the book2—& I know you are going to like the typographical presentation too—

W. W.
