Prof. H. A. Ward.
Dear Friend,
Your kind favor of the "Forth" came
to hand last night, &
I hasten to reply. I am
much pleased with
the recommend, I fear
it is too grand. It is
all right, I trust, with a
slight amendment &c.
which I will suggest to

accept my many thanks
for it. It is a [illegible] to me.
Say in substance the
same to Mr. Judd, for
a new star has appeared
in our firmament.
