152 A. [Ln.?] N.E., Washington, D.C.:1
Wednesday, Nov. 24th 1880.
Dear Sir,
I recieved the two volumes of your works yesterday by mail.2 I have had a copy of them for some years, but I wished to send one to a friend in Scotland.
Shall your many friends here have the pleasure of seeing you in Washington this winter?
With good wishes,
Yours Faithfully,
David Hutcheson.
