Good ByeFrom the Boston Eve'y Transcript, May 7, '91 - The Epictetus saying, as given by Walt Whitman in his own quit utterly dilapidated physical case, is, a "little spark of soul dragging a great lummux of corpse-body clumsily to and fro around." 328 Mickle St: Camden New Jersey May 22 '91 Dear Sir, If the paper is bo't & any commencem't made in printing the 400 "Nov: Boughs" all right - If nothing, stop it & wait for further orders. The press work paper &c: of the little "Good-Bye my Fancy" make a first rate good satisfactory job - & the press work is capital. If worth while I sh'd like the pressmen, foreman &c: to see this. Respectfully Walt Whitman this is Warren Fritzinger my nurse & friend
