Walt Whitman to Peter Doyle, 23 March [1874]

It will be very easy to come here—get out at West Philadelphia & come down in Market st.​ horse cars to ferry, foot of Market st—cross to Camden, it is only 1/3d of a mile from ferry. Send me word a day ahead & I will meet you at West Philadelphia. We have plenty of room. Come whenever convenient. You will find me much better—to-day I feel like getting well, (& confidently expect to)—wish you were here to-day—'twould be most like old times—
