Oh my dear Sir
How can I thank you enough for your great kindness in sending me your book which I only received this day from Dangstein—2 What I value even more is the writing at the beginning which renders it doubly valuable in my eyes Pray always remember what a real pleasure it is to me to hear from you and I shall be grateful—if I can ever at any time do anything for you
ever Ys most truly | Dorothy
