Summary
Congratulating him on his book about New York; saying "...it put me back to the New York that I know and remember; not the polyglot thing which now covers the old ground;" offering a few corrections and his reminiscences of New York mentioning Tom Ochiltree, Adolf Ladenburg, Julian Ralph, Berry Wall and Blakely Hall; adding "I merely wished to write you a line of congratulation & instead I've begun to write a chapter of li'l ole New York! I shall send you something from my paper about it & yourself."
