William Gerhardi : The Polyglots

Thanks for your letter & 'The Polyglots'. I regret not to be able to agree with you as to the latter. I have read it, & though it is loose & contains some merely silly pages, I much enjoyed it. I think it is an original and diverting work, with power in many places, and un peu touchant.
