I enclose the only one of the Herald contributions I have recently seen. The one a week ago today I missed and have not yet got a copy.
Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton2 who is in town is very anxious to present herself to you and unless you are not feeling well enough to see anyone, I shall bring her over tomorrow afternoon at about 3. If you are not quite up to it, you must telegraph me as above, "collect" in the forenoon.
With love believe me Yours Talcott Williams loc_vm.01387_large.jpg T. Williams loc_vm.01384_large.jpg Mrs T. Williams loc_vm.01385_large.jpgCorrespondent:
Talcott Williams
(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
information about Williams, see Philip W. Leon, "Williams, Talcott (1849–1928)," Walt Whitman:
