Your volume of poems ordered by Miss Stoddart1 arrived safely—it was really intended for her Uncle Howard Helmick2 an Artist—who has been residing abroad many years—but who even there learned to know and love the poet and prohet​ of his Native land—We will be able now to enjoy and appreciate it in full—as  loc_vm.02469.jpg we were able only to get a small selection in London—

Wishing you heartily the compliments of the season

I am Yours Sincerely E.C. Waters—  loc_vm.02468.jpg  loc_vm.02470.jpg E. C. Waters
