loc.02261.001_large.jpg 11.27—1891 My dear friend Walt Whitman,

I want, before you go beyond reach of such messages, to send you my love and admiration and thanks. I feel that you have interpreted Life for me & have made me feel it worth the living. Bless you, dear Walt,—& I wish that I might bear all your bodily pain & weakness upon my own strong young shoulders. I know many who love you as I do.

Truly yours— Katherine Hardy. Enon Valley, Lawrence Co., Penn.
