MY DEAR SIR,

Pray let me thank you for your pamphlet.

I confess that I am one of the unconvinced grumblers, and that I doubt

the present or future existence of any government in England, strong

enough to convert the people to your income-tax principles. But I do not

the less appreciate the ability with which you advocate them, nor am I

the less gratified by any mark of your remembrance.

Faithfully yours always.

[Sidenote: Mr. W. C. Macready.]
