Autograph Letter Signed to Dewar
saying that he can't tell him how touched and delighted we both are by your kindness. What a beautiful book! What a beautiful edition! what a beautiful inscription! Again I can only say we are more pleased than I can tell - and with the inscription not least of all. Thank you most heartily. Surely the volume is a rare one? The Farmer's Boy I know and possess. But I am ashamed to say that of this book I never heard. And how delightful it is! It reached us on Thursday night - but I delayed writing till we had both read it through. And we are both most charmed with it. It is a book everyway after our own hearts. I hope both you and Mrs Dewar have kept well during this tryig winter - which with its plague of Influenza has laid so many of us low - myself amongst the number. But thanks to the lavish care bestowed on me I'm now quite recovered. Again with our united thanks and kindest remembrances..., 2 sides 8vo., 20 Fitzroy Street, 24th February
