My dear Mr. Whitman: 
I wish to express to you
the great satisfaction, which
I have heard on all hands, felt 
by the Members of the Club
at your reading, and remarks,
on last Tuesday evening.
Your selections were most happy,
and your rendering of 
them impressive. Everyone
present, both members and guests,
with whom I have spoken about
it, has regarded it as a memorable
occasion, and a thoroughly
successful meeting.
With best wishes I remain
Your sincerely
D.G. Brinton2041 Chestnut Street,

Dear Friend: 
It is difficult to
express the gratification I 
have felt in looking over
the pages of the volume you
so kindly sent me. These pages
mirror a life, and the
meaning of a life-rather 
should I say, not a life,
but life, for the lines
which fill them express,
not particulars, but universals. 
On this account, future
generations will not let 
die the contents of this book;
and that I have it from him
who wrote it is a peculiar pleasure
to me. Believe me.
Most gatefully yours
D.G. Brinton
