I will be around to breakfast at 9 sharp to-morrow, Sunday—


Walt Whitman


Notes:

1. The only reason for assigning this note to 1878—and it is far from conclusive—is that during this and the following year Whitman frequently had Sunday breakfast with Scovel; it became a kind of ritual when he was in Camden. [back]
