large collection in another Album which I shall take pleasure in showing to you when we meet again. When you called on your
way home last week I was sieged with a desire to write my impression of your all too short a visit. I enclose it herewith.
I hope you or your daughter, (Miss Helen) will honor it with a place in your album. Prof Howison was calling here the day
after you arrived, and he pronounced it, capital which encouraged me to have it printed and send to you one of my five copies.
With best wishes for your long life and continued usefulness, I am very sincerely E. J. Metcalfe McHenry
