Transcript
Dear Mr. Milnes—
It was most kind of you to send me the Verses—
I had already read & admired them very much. not only from their intrinsic merit but because I so much like their tone of feeling to which my own so entirely responded—
No two people of their age ever made the same blank in Society & those who loved them will miss more & more their warm hearts & Constant affection
Believe me
very sincerely y[ou]rs
