Autograph letter signed : Dublin, to Cornelius Weygandt, 1905 May 16.

Concerning possible reproductions of his painting, referring to mysticism and transcendentalism and the influence of Walt Whitman; saying that the blocks he has kept are all scratched but that John Quinn, an American in New York, "...has between forty and fifty paintings of mine some of which I think were as good as anything I have done. I am sure he would have no objection to letting any of them be reproduced if you wrote to him mentioning my name as suggesting it...I am so hazy in my American geography that I don't know what distance Philadelphia is from New York and whether you could see them conveniently....I am glad to hear that there is an interest in mysticism among your college men. I always thought that I would find more readers in America than elsewhere because I thought that America was tending to some form of transcendental philosophy and that my verse fitted in ("tallied" as Whitman would say) to some extent with the Emersonian group and their ideas. Whitman is my man. I swear by him as the biggest and best part of the last century or indeed of many centuries. I wonder you don't make more of him over there. Anyhow he is bound to come to his rights. It was kind of you to write & take so much interest in what I do. I hope you will be able to come over here some time again."
