Walt Whitman to Jeannette L. and Joseph B. Gilder, 21 March 1882

My friends

I believe you have in MS one or two clusters of my Notes1yours—they are paid for—I think I would like to look over them & touch them up to date (perhaps, or not, I could tell on seeing them)—I wish you would send the MS therefore immediately here—& I will at once make the improvement-changes, (if any)—& return to you—

Walt Whitman

Notes

  • 1. Perhaps the sixth and last installment of "How I Get Around at 60, and Take Notes," which appeared in The Critic on July 15, 1882 (see the letter from Whitman to Jeannette L. Gilder of December 31, 1880). Whitman noted sending the sixth (revised?) article on April 2; evidently he returned the galleys of the "Notes" on April 9 (Whitman's Commonplace Book, Charles E. Feinberg Collection of the Papers of Walt Whitman, 1839–1919, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.). [back]
