I can hardly tell you what pleasure it gave me to meet you—to look into your
eyes, to hear your voice, to grasp
your hand and to thank you for the brave and splendid words you have
uttered.—
I recd copies of the Camden Post and I think that I recognize your work in the
wonderful tribute
paid to me. Sometime I will pay, so far as may be in my power, a fitting tribute to
your character and genius. Of course what I said was fragmentary—almost
incoherent—giving only the faintest outline—indicating here and there a
mountain peak, leaving the rich & beautiful valleys without a word. May many
happy years be yours—With thanks I remain
