Summary
Sending a new copy of a poem (possibly "The Wind of March") for the printers; writing that he wishes he could write "a poem for the grand Woodstock 4th of July gathering," but he "dare[s] not attempt it"; adding, "I am still suffering from the effects of my severe illness, and reading or writing are very painful"; observing that "the check sent [him] is quite too much for [his] poem."
