My dear Sir,
It was very kind of you to remember your promise and send me a copy of your Stories. Accept my best thanks. I have wished to possess a copy from the Author, and with his handwriting, and now you have gratified my wish. I shall always value it very highly, as I greatly value having made your living and personal acquaintance, and also the opportunity I have had to hear you tell some of your Stories with your own mouth.
Yours very faithfully,
Hotel Phoenix. Monday morning.
And. Hamilton
