Whitman sent Knortz H. H. Gilchrist's Anne Gilchrist: Her Life and Writings (New York, 1887) and later was annoyed that Knortz had not returned it, complaining to Horace Traubel to that effect on September 6, 1888. Whitman had eight or ten photographs taken by George C. Cox, but only one, which Whitman called "the laughing philosopher," was satisfactory to him. Cox sold these photographs to the general public, and, according to Whitman, was the only photographer who had the courtesy to pay him royalties. Whitman apparently never had the opportunity of meeting Knortz, for more than a year later, on September 3, 1888, he told Traubel that his curiosity to meet him was still great.
