M r . Charles C. Delmonico, My Dear Sir:—
Your are, no doubt, acquainted with the fact, that for the past five years, I have been engaged upon a work, designed for the use of private families. This work, which embraces the culinary art of the past and present, together, with a collection of Menus from almost every country in world, is now completed.
Having been with “Delmonico’s” for nearly a quarter of a century; and as a mark of reverence for those departed and of respect and esteem to those living, I should feel honored by your permission, to dedicate the book
Alexander Filippini
