Sept 20 1882

Dear Sir,

[…]

I have the greatest pleasure to subjoin the two letters written by your father, which are in my possession and which I value so very highly.

There is a direct connection between the first of the letters and the oration above mentioned. In the latter I have more fully worked out the idea of which I had drawn up a preliminary sketch which I submitted to your father. To this he most kindly and courteously replied by his letter of Aug. 25, 1879.

His valuable suggestions together with his recommendations of extreme caution, caused me to postpone any publications of my ideas up till now.

Although the facts I have since gathered are few, still they appear to me to have a bearing on the very points your father most objected to and to open a perspective some of these objections may after all someday be overcome

[…]

With kindest regards

I remain

Yours very faithfully
