Fantastic ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, February 20, 1892. Burroughs writes about his dear friend, Walt Whitman, in full: “I thank you very cordially for the copy of the Photographic Times containing the excellent picture of my old friend Walt Whitman. This particular photo of the poet has never been a favorite with me—it shows only one phase of him & not the best phase, but it is a beautiful piece and will go well with other pictures of Whitman. Your noble words about the poet too, I thank you especially for them. They are large & generous & full of meaning.” Uniform toning, a few trivial spots of foxing on the second integral page, light brushing to the “B” in Burroughs, and a vertical fold very lightly affecting one letter of the “g,” otherwise fine condition. John Burroughs first met Whitman in 1864. He encouraged Burroughs to develop a literature of nature, with Burroughs in turn influenced Whitman’s sharp eye for detail in nature.Burroughs would go on to write two studies on Whitman. An excellent reference to one of America’s most influential poets.
