My friends
I believe you have in MS one or two clusters of my Notes1—yours—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]
