Early endeared to me by associations of intimacy and friendship, you are blended in many of the choicest recollections of my youth; and I am happy in the opportunity, now in our riper years, of paying a slight tribute to the virtues, talent and accomplishments which have won the unalterable regard of THE AUTHOR. |
