[page 1] Dear Mr. Fields. My brother wrote you a few days since acquainting you of my illness. You came very near losing poor old "G. G." I have been very ill indeed and am still quite weak today. I am dressed and have walked without support for the first time
[page 2] for ten days. I have been greatly troubled about the books, for fear you would be annoyed by the delay yet I am sure you will excuse it for I could not help myself if I send the poems with those to be added. You will see that I have stricken out most of the val-
[page 3] entines, and our other string of verses. for the thing is no poem ("The Story of a life") I hope you will not object to what I have done here
I hope to be able to send the other material for the new volume in the course of the week. certainly shall. if I have no relapse. Do write to me
