Dec. 9, -'91- Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Esq.- Dear Mr. Higginson: You were so very good to me, writing so considerate a letter and saying such altogether pleasant things of my honest efforts in the singing way, that, with the fever of delight still on me, I dispatched to you at once - another book! What you will think of such a dubious expression of my gratitude I have been wondering ever since. Therefore, in this my first appro=priate leisure since let me delib=erately hasten to express to you my serious thanks for your great kindness to me and mine. Good as it is to have you speak approvingly of my verse, dialect or other=
