in regard to the book.

I shall never forget the encouragement of your
letter, and then after that the altogether great
"lift" that I got from your invaluable review.
I assure you the whole episode has been one
of the most gratifying of my whole life. I
cannot well say more than this, and you
will at once see the credible side of this
statement.

I am only now beginning the work of replying
to some of the more outstanding, and kind,
and important letters I received last

Your review has, of course received, in
my hearing, admiration on its own account.
