I have duly received your letter; with its poetic accompaniment; in which I must be permitted to say that the Poet rises far above his subject.

For the very kind sentiments expressed in your letter, I tender my acknowledgements; with an assurance that as a Guest at Montpellier, you left impressions which will always prompt our best wishes for your success, whatever the pursuits to which you may devote your self. With cordial salutations
