Address: Pete Doyle, M street South—bet 4½ & 6th Washington, D.C.
Postmarks: Camden May 14(?); Carrier May 15(?) AM.
The correspondence (again chiefly post cards) with Doyle in April and May was sent on Fridays, according to Whitman's habit.
At this time Doyle was working out of Baltimore; note Whitman's April 30, [1875], and
June 25, [1875], letters to Doyle.
Nothing special to write about—I always get the papers, they come right—letters, cards, &c. the same—Wish I could be with you in Balt[imore] to-morrow to spend the day.
