 loc.03671.001_large.jpg Tacoma, Washington, Dec. 22d 1891. Mr. Walt Whitman, Dear Sir.

Please allow a 'Brooklyn' boy, who is three thousand miles from home, join with your numerous friends,—to whom "Leaves of Grass" shall be ever green and pleasant memories of you—in wishing that this happy season may also bring to you pleasure and that peaceful repose which the evening of your long and useful life entitles you.

Believe me, Sir. Sincerely. E. J. Smith Tacoma, Wash.  loc.03671.002_large.jpg  loc.03671.003_large.jpg  loc.03671.004_large.jpg
