Dear Mr.Way,After so many letters to people who never existed,may I venture a short one,to a person very real to me,though I have never seen him,and only know him by his many kindnesses?Perhaps you will add another to these by accepting the Dedication of a little work,of a sort experimental in English,and in prose,though Horace--in Latin and in verse--was successful with it long ago?
Very sincerely yours,A.LANG.
To W.J.Way,Esq.
Topeka,Kansas.
