Dear Judge Walcott:
Acknowledging the letter which you gave me yesterday, I wish to thank you very much for the record of the Essex Court of General Sessions of the Peace. We should like very much to keep the original here and shall give the photostat to Professor Beale. It is, of course, unfortunate that so many items from the ancient records have got away from their proper custody but as all of the libraries have them in greater or less quantity, I shall be very grateful if you will allow us to keep the one you handed me yesterday.
With many thanks,
I am, Yours very sincerely, Eldon R. James.
Honorable Robert Walcott, 910-919 Barristers Hall, Boston, Mass.
