_To_ =Grant B. Schley=
_Dear and great Friend! In_ =Katrine's= _fancied_ "Land"
_You long have held your own much-honored place--
Have met great Esmond; held kind Newcome's hand;
And talked with merry Alan face to face;
For there, where Loyalty was word of countersign,
You entered, all unchallenged, for the land was thine!_
