     Did not see W. today. Late (my mother says after she had gone to bed) Warren rang bell. Had brought me the six first-sheets for McKay and further copy (now entering the autobiograhical stage). Autograph sheets for Dave laughably dirty and blotted. Wonder where they have been? I don't believe Dave will take them.

     Note Wallace's pathetic letter of the 17th:

Anderton, near Chorley
Lancashire, England
17 March 1891

My dear Traubel,

     Many thanks to you for your kind letter of the 4th inst., to hand yesterday.

     And I have to thank you for your kind invitation to Johnston and myself to send letters of greeting for May 31st. Of course we shall be pleased & proud to do so.

     We are very sorry to hear of the relapse in Whitman's health, & can only hope that the better weather to come bye & bye will restore him.

     I can't write any more for this mail, but with cordial thanks & friendliness remain always

Yours very truly

J. W. Wallace
