WM. COVENTRY H. WADDELL TO S. J. TILDEN
"Bennett Building, New York, February 26, 1877.
"My dear Governor,—I know that you have the highest appreciation of the writer of the enclosed; but I do not know that you have a special taste to preserve interesting mementos relating to such persons. If you have, and will observe the expressions in this letter, you will perceive that W. notes his 'first appearance' as counsel before the Supreme Court of the United States. I beg your acceptance of it for your collection of interesting memorials, and beg you to believe me to be, with sincere regard,
"Yours very truly,
"Wm. Coventry H. Waddell."
