My dear Sir: The project of / purchasing and preserving / “Sunnyside” deserves the hear= / tiest commendation. There / is no better way to make / the name and works of Wash- / ington Irving an inspiration / and literary model for the grow= / ing thousands of new American / writers than by this publicly / cherishing and honoring the / relics of his personality.
Yours truly
