My Dear Prof. Holmes, 
Your very Kind letter of the 12th has been received

by me and I can assure you that from my all too brief experience 
with you that as an antiquity, you are a miserable fake. In every 
other way, however, I can assure you that you are the real thing.

My one regret regarding the book is the fact that 
it was impossible for me to be present to see it presented to you 
Ne 
but unfortunately, circumstances were such that I could not get to 
Washington that evening. The next time that you are presented with 
8 volume ( which, of course,will be on your hundredth anniversary) 
| I hope to be present. 
With kindest regards, believe me,
