Dear Sir1
I wish you would have a little circular printed—(or some special paragraph
inserted in your regular list, & marked)—announcing
the new Osgood 1882 edition of Leaves of Grass with your
place as the London agency & depository—and send to the
names on the accompanying list2—all
special friends of the book—
Walt Whitman
