LETTER XXVI

My Dear Sir, — It gives me great pleasure to receive a letter from you. Let me see, I think I have seen you once or twice in ——— where was it ? However, your remarks upon "Melanie and other Poems'' prove you to be a man of sound discrimination, and I shall be happy to hear from you as often as possible.
Yours truly,
Willis

Nathaniel Parker Willis (1806-1867) to Joseph B. Miller, Esq.
Cream colored paper — green and gold seal — with the initials N. P.W.

Mr. Willis writes a very good hand. What was said about the MS. of Halleck, in the February number, will apply very nearly to this. It has the same grace, with more of the picturesque, however, and, consequently, more force. These qualities will be found in his writings — which are greatly underrated.

E.A.P.
