Dear Walt Whitman.
     May I send a 
Disciple's greeting & a
word of loving regard
expressive of hope
that you are as
well as one may
hope to be in 
the

the "November" tide
of Life.            I am
to read a paper before
our Literary Society
at the close of the 
year & I am anxious
to prepare myself
properly. The 
subject is yourself
as a Leader of the 
thought & manly 

character of the
age -- a former &
Re-former of the 
times. I read
somewhere that you
had a few copies
of the original Edn.
of "Leaves" which cd.
be got from you
alone -- Is it
so? If I amthe finger on the dial - 
& delay the approach 
of your December - yet 
it is better, after all 
to leave these matters 
to the All-Father who 
in Wisdom & Love 
directs & guides & 
who "doeth all things
 well" - 
Ever affectionately 
Yours - 
Edmund J. Baillie

Dear Walt Whitman:
I duly received 
your kind enclosures 
a few days ago & I 
am much obliged 
to you for your 
ready response to 
my letter. May
 I keep the newspaper 
cutting or do you 
wishwish me to send it 
back to you?
Please send me 
a copy of "Leaves of 
Grass" - the Special 
Edition as noted on 
the little slip you 
sent me - marked 
thereon at $5 - I 
think that is about 
£1. 1. 0 of our
 currency + for this 

I enclose P.O. Order 
but if this is 
not sufficient let 
me know please 
+ I will send on 
the balance. 
I sincerely hope 
you are well - 
some of us here 
wish we had the 
power to stayWalt Whitman
