 It would afford me
 extreme pleasure in your
 allowing the favor of writing
 me at your early convenience.
 The [reminiscence] [?]
 would form one of the most
 gratifying memories
 of my life. I will indulge
 the anticipation that you
 may write me soon -- though
 I can only extend my grateful
 acknowledgement. -- Please
 excuse this hurried letter.


 I am, with great respect,
 very truly, yours.
 T. Apoleon Cheney.
