A Promise to California.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

A PROMISE TO CALIFORNIA.

A PROMISE to California, Also to the great Pastoral Plains, and for Oregon: Sojourning east a while longer, soon I travel toward  
 you, to remain, to teach robust American love; For I know very well that I and robust love belong  
 among you, inland, and along the Western Sea; For These States tend inland, and toward the Western  
 Sea—and I will also.
