To W.C. and F.P. Church 
Washington,|September 7, 1867. 

W.C. & F.P. Church|Gentlemen: 
	The check for $60. arrived safely this morning.  Please consider this a receipt for   said sum.  
	I received, some ten days since, the six proof-impressions of the Carol-&   am much obliged.  (No copies of magazine.) 
	I forward herewith another poem for the Galaxy.  If acceptable please, after   correcting, let me have a good proof in time. 
	The right of publishing Ethiopia Commenting, in future book, is reserved to me. 
	The price of the piece is $25. 
	I have, in composition, an article, (prose,) of some length-the subject opportune-I shall probably name it Democracy. It is partly provoked by, & in   some respects a rejoinder to, Carlyle's Shooting Niagara. I think it might be specially appropriate to your purposes & scope. I would propose it to you for a leading article for January '68 Galaxy. Please write me how the idea suits you. Or, as I am coming to Brooklyn in a few days, perhaps I may as well call personally, & get your notions about it.                       
Walt Whitman.
