BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts, Jan 13. 1887
Mr. Ackland —
My dear Student,

I cannot deny myself the pleasure of acknowledging your kind remembrances that I value for the tokens they bring. At least once a year I hope always to have a letter from you and so long as I remain on earth I will try to answer it.

Your ideas and mine on friendship coincide very nearly I think YoungEditorial Note: Edward Young (1683-1765) expresses Just my thought in this sentence "Judge before friendship then confide till death"Editorial Note: This is a quotation from Edward Young’s Night-Thoughts (The Complaint: or, Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, & Immortality.). I have a few lady friends that I worry over and this relation exists between us. A gentleman and lady can share this same Platonic As Written: Platonice friendship all the same in Truth

Your old friend is a good specimen As Written: specien of the friendship that I value, that has some stick to it.

Come and see me whenever in Boston I love to remember the meals you and dear Gilbert and I have had together.

GoodbyeAs Written:Good bye God bless you As ever
