W.P.M Morgan Hall Auburn N. Y. Oct 10th 89 O Good Gray Poet,
When I read the notes on your life made by Ernest Rhys the tears came to my eyes, and I would have given much to have seen yourself, that I might have knelt before you, & kissed the hands that had ministered so tenderly to wounded men.
When I read your writings I get inspiration, I have the feeling of the boundlessness
of the universe, of the greatness
of a man—perhaps, only perhaps, it may be my glory to help
others to "justify" your work; it surely is my heart's desire.
My excuse for writing you is the sending of a book; a first utterance, called "Voices & Undertones"—it bears greeting and admiring love, though it may be a poor messenger to bear the treasure.
Some day I hope to hear your voice. God give you peace and perpetual hope!
Your unknown friend Wm. P. McKenzie
