>Dear Sir:
The package of February magazines sent on the 10th, arrived safely yesterday. Accept my thanks. I am pleased with the typographical appearance, correctness, &c. of my piece.
I enclose a piece, "Thou vast Rondure, swimming in Space," of which I have to say to you as follows. It is to appear in the April number of the London Fortnightly Review.
—Having just received a note from the Editor of that Review, Mr. Morley, in which he intimates that he has no objection to its appearing simultaneously in America, I thought I would show it to you. Very possibly you will not care anyhow to print a piece which is to appear elsewhere. Should that, however, be no objection, and should you consider the piece available for your purposes, the price is $20. Of course it would have to go in your Number for April. I reserve the right of printing in future book.
Walt Whitman.
