[1]

Nov. 17 1891.

My dear Sir

I hope you will not deem it a liberty on my part if I write in the endevour to express to you my [illeg.] thanks for your letter [2] to Mr. Bell,1 which he has most kindly allowed me to read. It is not only a great boon to him, but also to myself & to many others to hear from your pen such a strong testimony [3] in favour of the value of his work.

I feel personally indebted to you for this & could not help saying so.

I am my dear sir very faithfully yrs. | Charles Voysey2 [signature]
