I am expecting to bring Prof Royce1 of Cambridge over next Sunday, 7th inst. at about 1130 to see you. You may remember I spoke of him before when I was over. He is a metaphysician.

(1849–1928) was associated with the New York Sun
and World as well as the Springfield Republican before he became the editor of the Philadelphia Press in 1879. His newspaper vigorously defended Whitman
in news articles and editorials after the Boston censorship of 1882. For more
