MY DEAR SIR,

Ir is with great pleasure that I inscribe with your name these volumes. Our acquaintance (let me say our friendship) is not of old date, but it commenced under circumstances peculiarly interesting to both of us, and every day since has added to the respect and regard with which I subscribe myself

Very faithfully yours,

HENRY CHRISTMAS.
