My dear Professor,

I have wanted to write
you a [line?] of thanks for your very
kind notice of my book, in the Am.
Naturalist. There are very few whose
good opinion in such matters I value
more than yours. I earnestly hope
that the work may serve as a reference
book in places where your own is used in
the class-room as the students' handbook.

Yours ever faithfully
G. L. Goodale
