Summary
Saying he will never again have 12 people at table; more than 8 cannot be comfortable. He is grateful for the "many kind words beautifully said of both son & Mother." He is glad Mr. Harrison has by his side such "a glorious specimen of my Countrymen in their best aspects" as Mr. Todd: "I used to think in the first years of our Intimacy that your estimate of the Scotch character was by no means flattering & of course was very far from being correct." He will try to get Mr. Harrison & Mr. Todd together, some day, for a dinner of 8, "& no more."
