My Dear Conway—

Only a mere P. S.—a single sentence to say this morning’s Springfield Republican has your talk upon Tennyson’s “Despair,” & that I have read it through twice, from the first word to the last, and that it is as beautiful as music,—& full-freighted with all the merits, virtues & charms of literary art: sound reasoning, true poetry, lofty thought, noble imagery; & all set forth with a grace of expression which is enchanting. Thank you heartily for writing it.

Ys Sincerely,

S L Clemens
