To E. L. Godkin, Esq re .
Sir:
I wish your name to appear on the first page of a volume, the composition of which was suggested by you.
Gratitude is said to be “the hope of favors to come;” these lines are written to prove that it may be the appreciation of kindnesses received.
Heartily yours Eliot Gregory
