This postcard appears to have been written one week after Whitman's January 22, [1876],
letter to Doyle, as evidenced by the descriptions of Whitman's health and of the weather.
All is going on with me full as comfortably as I can expect. A dark, drizzly, very slippery day here—Keeps me in. Your papers & letter rec'd.
