Thanking him for $100 received through Horace Furness for a manuscript copy of his poem "O Captain! My Captain": "Dear Doctor / Your splendid contribution to me has been rec'd by the hands of Horace Furness & is hereby deeply thank'd for ($100) It is opportune & will do me much good. / I send a copy of my Complete Works & some pictures--with a slip of little piece in May _Century_--& my best respects, love & thanks--am just getting over the worst of a two months' siege of the grip--bad enough yet--get out in a wheel'd chair--shall probably get out this afternoon--God bless you Doctor-- / Walt Whitman."
