My dear George,
Many, very
many thanks for your very
tasteful and splendid present
which I found on my
table last night when I
came home.
I am sorry to hear that
you have been ailing, and
I hope that you are now
well – If you should
at any time require my
aid, either alone or in
consultation with our
friend Dr. Williams, be-
lieve me that I shall
always be most ready to
afford it, either for your-
self or for any of your
family, with those feelings
which a now somewhat
old friendship should inspire.
I remain, My Dear
George, with sincere regards,
Very truly yours
James Copland
