In part: "I have copies of my poems here but not the best editions. I had just written to General [John] Dix before I recieved your letter that I could send the Emperor, tomorrow a copy ... This was in answer to an intimation from him that the Emperor would like to have it."
Bryant was member of a citizens committe that was to welcome Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil during a visit to New York early in 1876. The planned reception never took place, but Dom Pedro did pay a personal visit to Bryant, whom he had long admired.
