As I was about mailing these to Dr. B[ucke] I thought I would send first to you—(tho' I dont really know why—for there is nothing to dwell on in the cuttings)2—please forward them to Dr Bucke. I continue quite well for me. The British publisher of the "W W" is Wilson & McCormick, St Vincent Street, Glasgow—they also issue (under their own imprint) L of G and Specimen Days—the new book somewhat sluggish yet—it will take to fall & winter before the news gets well around—but it is secured & effectual—
