Mr. Walter Deane, 



Cambridge, Mass. 



My dear Mr. Deane: 



I am grateful indeed to you for send- 

 ing me the autograph letter of your father, written in 

 1888. It will give me pleasure to insert it in the 

 Bradford edited by Dr. Deane for the Massachusetts Histor- 

 ical Society. This letter will add to the bibliograph- 

 ical interest of the book, and I am genuinely pleased to 

 have it. 



Thanking you cordially for your kindness in 

 this matter, I am, with best wishes, 



Yours faithfully,
