Dear Mark,

You must excuse my long delay in returning your book. The truth is it has heen the rounds for several to
read, though it has not been out of our house. When I had nearly finished its reading, Uncle James
became interested in its contents and read it through. His glowing description of the character of the
work caused mother toread it so that we have kept it from you several weeks. We feel very grateful to
you however for furnishing us such an intellectual feast and hope to have the pleasure of doing you a
like kindness.

Truly Your Friend,

Jerome Alcaldeza
