Ryder hopes the plates are in Professor Joseph Lyons 's hands. He has ordered the Boston Sunday Times which contains his story to be sent to Hudson, together with a copy of the Saturday Evening Gazette in which there is a review of Walt Whitman's poems. Ryder recently received a letter from Editor Alfred Miller of South Bend. Has Hudson recognized Ryder's work in the Boston Evening Star? He is looking forward to "Parnassus" being a success. On his coming trip to New York, Ryder expects to work off half the edition and deliver a large number of copies already ordered besides deposit a number of copies with George F. Phelan of the New York Freeman's-Journal. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
