CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT, LL. D.

President of Harvard University.

Dear Eliot:

Forty years ago, you and I, having made preparation together, entered collegeon the same day. We later found different spheres in the world; and you cameback to Cambridge in due time to assume your high office. Twelve years ago,sought by you, I likewise came, to discharge a duty under you.

You took me away from many cares, and transferred me to the more congenialservice of the University. The change has conduced to the progress ofthose studies in which I hardly remember to have had a lack of interest.

So I owe much to you; and it is not, I trust, surprising that I desire to connect,in this work, your name with that of your

Obliged friend,
