My dear Mr. Dean e, 



The copy of the memorial of my father that you sent me I shall 

 cherish becauseof the love you have born toward him. I like your triDute to him very 

 much indeed .1 can hardly imagine it being improved on. Your selections from his 

 letters are very happy, and illustrative of traits of character, which to us his 

 children^are very dear. During the time of the financial troubles which you mention 

 there was no money to expend on Christmas gifts, but with his own hands.- he made for 

 each one of the children then in the family a gift that was as good or better than 

 the purchased ones. The one I receivea^I have still, alittle tool box ©overed with 

 sheep skin, it is priceless to me now. Silver and gold cannot buy what is there represen 

 ted. Thus love never let Christnfs fail us. Some day I shall hope to see the dear 

 friend of my father, ei ther here, or in Boston. 



Sincerely yours
