To General W. J. Palmee. 



My peak General, 



It gives me great pleasure to associate my Fatlier^s 

 name with that of the most valued of my American friends, 

 whose intercourse contriLuted so much to make my sojourn 

 in the Far West a period to which I shall ever look hack 

 with the brightest recollections. 



Believe me to remain. 



My dear General, 



Ever yours very sincerely,
