Dear Sir,
I am collecting material for an article upon the late Sidney Lanier, a true American singer, whose early death is much to be regretted. I take the liberty of asking you if you have preserved a letter which Lanier wrote you. If so, may I see it, or may I have a copy thereof?
Yours truly
William R. Thayer
To Walt Whitman, Esq.
Camden, N.J.
