James R. Osgood & Company to Walt Whitman, 13 December 1881

 loc_nk.00354_large.jpg Walt Whitman, Esq. Dear Sir:

We have sent you the 15 Leaves of Grass & 30 sheets as desired.

We enclose a list of editorials already sent for purposes of comparison, in case you might happen to duplicate.

We do not think the disposal of the old edition will in the least interfere with the new one; and shall be very glad if the new attention called to your  loc_nk.00355_large.jpg Osgood letter Dec: 13 '81 | permission to sell the '76 edition | ☝  loc_nk.00356_large.jpg writings enables you to dispose of them speedily and completely

Very truly Yours: James R. Osgood & Co.

P.S. We find there are only 6 sets of the sheets of new poems left.—these we send
