for a copy of "Leaves of
Grass." A little later
on I shall also subscribe
for "Two Rivulets"; but
for the present content

because of my intention
to canvas my friends
and secure additional
subscribers and then
remit to you in a bodyI am connected with
the Port Chester Journal
which circulates between
6 + 7000 copies. I mean to
write an article of a 
couple of columns regarding
yourself and five poems
and shall close it by soliciting
subscribers for your
edition. Will you do me
the favor of sending me a
biographical (to be used in the
article) sketch of your
self and a spare photograph

illustration. Finally in
soliciting the subscriptions
shall we request parties
to communicate directly
with you or shall the J'l
