My dear Friend:

Hereafter, where our correspon-
dence is personal, I think I ought
to give you the name which is
now yours, carrying into it
all that is so precious in the
one that it

"Can ne'er express,
Yet cannot all conceal."

As a bridge from this one name
to the other, I am continuing
for the moment to use the word which is
equally applicable to both.
