Walt Whitman, Esq.
My dear Sir:—
Your letter of the 5th,1 with enclosure has just reached me. Had it arrived earlier—say by Sunday last—I should have accepted your terms, but now it is too late, in consequence of other arrangements, to use it. I therefore enclose it to you.
Very respectfully,
S. F. Michel.

Little is known about S. F. Michel who seems to have been employed in the editorial
department of the Chicago Tribune.
