I have been very ill indeed and am still quite weak today. &amp;nbsp;I am dressed and have walked without support for the first time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;[page 2] for ten days. &amp;nbsp;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-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;[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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;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.
