Facsimile of a letter from Walt Whitman, written in the month before his death: he refers to his weakness and suffering; mentions the advertisement for the 1892 ['death-bed'] edition of Leaves of Grass [which is attached]; refers to Dr [R.M.] Bucke and Col. [Robert] Ingersoll, who has sent some champagne; sends thanks to Johnston and his British friends; and stresses his view that any modern theory of literature, politics and sociology must encompass all people of all lands.
