I send copy of the transcript containing a notice of your work. It is not intended to
be a study or an elaborate review simply a good word which will allay if possible
some of the antagonism which still exists toward your work. I shall do more of
course but this little notice has its work to do. I send copies to Mr. Howells and to Mr. Burroughs. I hope you are
feeling as well as when you last wrote.—I saw Judge Chamberlain and other of our friends today—Called on O'Reilly but he was out. hope to see him soon. I hope to do something
specially useful for you by and by.—Baxter has returned
from Europe I shall see him in a day or two at his home.
