"I am positively ashamed not to have had this list in your hands long before now!"

Abstract

"I am very glad that friends and bookmen are taking a personal interest in your boo, Mr. Relander. I surely feel that it will be the kind of book that will find a good market. I wish that I could write more at length today. I shall never forget the kindnesses that you and Mrs. Relander gave to me, and the most delightful conversation of the evening drive and dinner."
