TO

EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN

Dear Mr. Stedman:—
⁠The first volume of my published verse was inscribed to the memory of Matthew Arnold; I count myself happy that I am permitted to dedicate this book to you, whom, equally, it has been my privilege to know, to love, and to honor.

F.E.C.

Willing Terrace, Germantown,
