BONAMY PRICE TO TILDEN
"2 Norham Gardens, Oxford, Jan'y 31, 1876.
"My dear Sir,—I hope that the great kindness which you showed me at New York will be allowed to plead my excuse with you for trespassing on your time with a few lines.
"I am anxious to tell you of the deep sympathy and interest with which I have closely watched your public career since I had the honor of becoming acquainted with you in America, as well as the strong admiration which it excited in me.
"Never did a man deserve better of his country; and I fervently hope that the new year will bring the amplest recognition of this fact from your fellow-countrymen.
"Yours truly,
"Bonamy Price."
