Dr. Bucke tells me that the list of names he sent me was yr your own list—up to 1880. If you know any intelligent young fellow who wants to earn a dollar, or $1.50, by copying from yr your book (if you have such) or yr your record (if you have such) the names you may have kept since that time. I shd should be glad indeed to have the list. It might insure the publication of the book; for purchasers of L. of G. are of all most likely to buy my work.

I see that Howells has in the "Ed. Study" of Feb. Harper's Monthly some colorless & diplomatically drawing-roomish talk on you & Tolstoi. Pretty good though, & worth yr your reading. H. is never profound, methinks; but is graceful & happy.

comradely yrs yours W.S. Kennedy

How is yr your health? I fear you are "loguey."
