I hope you will not consider this impertinent, or improper. The intention is good, and the purpose to do good and to do justice. I would like to review your late works. I would not ask a press copy were I able to buy them. I am certain if you will send me one or more of your late books I can by review and personal attention and effort return more than value received. I have often given personal mention of yourself and books, and will continue to do so. It would be a very great pleasure to receive from you a personal copy of such books as you would care to send. You have grown in favor with our students and readers. Your courage, high honor, fidelity and faith in justice is being rewarded by all real and worthy students. Will you let me have a word from you. I hope my letter will be received in the spirit in which it is sent.
Address all in my name.
