Leckhampton House, Cambridge
Oct. 26. 1905.
My dear Mr. Wallace,
It is difficult to tell you how intensely we shall value this most profoundly interesting gift1 from you. We have already plunged deeply into it, and cannot put the book down.
Only 3 years ago I spent 6 months in Colorado & know every inch of that ground you traversed: — and Glen Eyrie2 was my head quarters!
Every line of your book is full[2] of memories to me; in those subjects that my husband3 and I cared for above all others: — and in all the other topics you deal with, & touch on, I feel[?] the deepest & keenest possible interest. How glad I am you have written this book.
My son4 cares very much for his father's work here, & has the same quality of mind. All your books are loved & reverenced & read over & over again in this[3] house, and you are truly a friend to Frederic Myers children through your books, & what their father and I feel for you.
Always yours | most sincerely
