Dear Wilson King,

Thank you for the book, which I am now returning. I had not seen it before. It contains a great deal of sense.

You will notice that its spine original: "back" is broken. I believe it was already in that condition when I received it.

The book I mentioned in my last letter was much larger, not as serious, and featured many illustrations—it was a very curious production.

I see that many of the anecdotes in your book correspond to like those events and details that happen today, and which I suppose have happened in every age.
