то JOSEPH SANDARS, ESQ., TAPLOW, BUCKS. MY DEAR SIR, There are three men, in no way related to me, to whom I am indebted for the greatest kindness and most effectual encouragement. Two of them shall be nameless here; and such small means as I possessed of making any return to them have been already employed. You are the third; and if you will accept the ensuing sheets as a testimony of my sense of obligation, both personal and literary, you will do me a new favour. When our friendship began, I dare say you little expected that it would lead to such a result. I am, My dear Sir, Yours most sincerely, J. PAYNE COLLIER. MAIDENHEAD, July 10, 1856. |
