Mrs. Fenollosa thanks you most heartily for the fine care which you took of me, and for the pretty volume which you sent her. She hopes to be able to write her
autograph in the copy of "Fourth" which I presented in her name.

I shall spare myself on this my first day of writing, but shall give myself the pleasure of a word with good Dr. Mann tomorrow. Meanwhile, remember me, pray to the host + good friend whom I met in Detroit, Col. Hecker, Prof. Griffith, and the others, when you see them. I want to see them all again. Detroit seems to me almost like another American home, - thanks to you
and them. I shall write you again before long; but believe me ever yours in warmest friendship
