Walt Whitman to Peter Doyle, 26 June [1874]

Have been quite sick all the week—but as I write (5½ p m) somewhat easier.

Notes

  • 1.

    This postcard bears the address, "Pete Doyle | M st. South bet 4½ & 6th | Washington D.C." It is postmarked: "Philadelphia | Ju(?)| 26 | 9 PM | Pa; Carrier | 27 | J (?)| (?) ."

    Since Whitman wrote to Doyle on Fridays, and since the account of his illness here does not contradict the account in his June 10, 1874 letter to Ellen M. O'Connor, this postcard can be plausibly assigned to 1874.
