LETTERS AND LITERARY MEMORIALS OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN
Norwich, Conn, Jan'y 6th, 1876 .
My dear Governor,—I do not know as I can testify of my admiration of your message better than by saying that I want you to send me an early copy in pamphlet form for more careful reading and preservation.
When the novel which Mr. Sherman and I have been writing (now in press) comes out, in a week or two, please see how curiously prices worked on our imaginary island, where the people used something for currency which had no value as a commodity.
Very truly yours, David A. Wells.
Answered January 10, 1876, by the Governor, that he desired to submit some of the messages to Mr. Wells, but it was a race against time. The tables were not completed until the discussion was in the proof-reading. Even I was surprised at the surplus of currency which they evince.
Fort Washington, Jan'y 12, 1876 .
Samuel J. Tilden
