 My dear Mr, Dearie :~ 



The large accumulation of correspondence dur- 

 ing my long absence in the Orient has dlayed this reply to your 

 inquiry regarding the text of the Underwood^ ' I wrote the book 

 in the unengaged portions of the afternoons of two months, and I 

 was obliged, there fo re, to push it through in such haste,before 

 leaving for the East, that I fear it probably contains more such 

 errors as you have kindly brought to my notice. You are quite 

 right. "Position one"on pages 78 and 86 should be"position two"; 

 likewise at the top of page 296, "first pylon" should be "second 

 pylon". 



It is very gratifying to learn that you have 

 found pleasure in the views and the book, and to know that it is 

 of some use. Thanking you for calling my attention to the errors, 

 I am, 



Very truly yours,
