I have recd. with very great pleasure the copy of yr. works wh you were kind enough to send me. They are in themselves valuable to all thoughtful men but their intrinsic value is to me enhanced by the fact that they came direct from the hand, and as an expression of the good will & esteem, of the author.
loc.02124.002_large.jpg loc.02124.003_large.jpgI feel flattered by this evidence of yr. kindly feeling and I thank you heartily for this most acceptable gift.
In the hope that yr. days may yet "be long in the land" to whose literature you have given the true American characteristics of breadth & freedom
