Although an international controversy had raged in 1876 over Whitman's need of financial assistance, when Robert Buchanan published an appeal for aid for him in an English journal, his English admirers continued to help him. Traubel includes several letters (II, 330; III, 65) from William Michael Rossetti in the fall of 1885 sending contributions. Herbert Gilchrist was the son of Whitman's ardent admirer Anne Gilchrist.
