Dear Sir:
Have you any other volume published besides "Leaves of Grass" and "Specimen Days & Collect"? I have these two, and have been acquainted with your writings for some time, altho but a young man as yet. I will be glad to procure any other volume you may have. I have seen in some public library (I think at Minneapolis and Cincinnati) a volume of biography, altho it seems to me now there were two different ones.
I would be pleased also to have a large picture of yourself, if any has ever been published. A cabinet photograph, at any rate. I will remit you whatever these may be worth. I understand you have no publisher now, altho "David McKay Phila." appears on the title page of your books—
Awaiting with interest a line from you, I am
Your Young Friend & Well-wisher
