My dear Mr Whitman:
Your note was
received and I am only
waiting until the 1st of May 
when I shall be more
"flush" to send you an
order for five copies of your
complete works.

I am glad that you are
publishing your works in this
complete form and feel sure
that you will be well repaid
in every way for the
effort.
  I hope to do more
than this in the way of
getting inscribers.

Very Sincerely
Yrs
