To
E. L. Godkin, Esqre.

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
