CHAS. W. CHESNUTT 1005 WILLIAMSON BUILDING CLEVELAND, O.
Cleveland, September 16, 1905.
Horace Traubel, Esq., 1624 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
My dear Mr. Traubel:-

My daughter Helen, who was visiting recently in Philadelphia, tells me that she came very near meeting you, but was called home by a telegram the day before she would have had that pleasure. She has given me a couple of photographs which I think Mr. Bolivar handed to her, and for which I thank you very much. It is a pleasure to look upon even the counterfeit presentment of the face of one whom I have learned to esteem from his writings, and who at the same time has shown his appreciation of my own. I hope to meet you personally before very long.

I see from the Conservator that the Walt Whitman books can be obtained from you. I should like to have a copy of the popular edition of Leaves of Grass, and a volume of ‸your own Chants Communal. I enclose money order for $2.25, which I hope includes sufficient for the postage.

Yours sincerely, Chas. W. Chesnutt.
