A note of thanks to an admirer of his second novel. “I was very much gratified by your note & its friendly spirit & cordiality. I am much pleased that you Omoo has afforded you entertainment — the more so, as without flatter I might instance yourself as being in 'those quarters where praise is desirable.' I presume that before this you are quite at home in your new residence up town, where I promise myself great pleasure in calling upon you when next in New York. I beg you to present my compliments to Mrs. Upton….” Not published in Horth.
