Letter from Donald Grant Mitchell to Jno. [?] E. Bowen

Mr Bowen My Dear Sir, Your favor of the 8th came duly to hand: unfortunately I had no acquaintance with Mr. Saxe - indeed do not remember even to have seen him - nor am I at all familiar with his writings. You see I give all the counts against myself - as if enough were not already understood to cheapen my aptitude for current literary topics. However I shall some day send you something - were it only to balance the "paper-sending", which I am glad you have kept going. The

new dress of type is a great gain, which your affluence & variety of material certainly minted. Very truly yours Donald G Mitchell Edgewood 15th April 1887
