Dear Sir,

Owing to a lecture tour in Australia, I have only just had time to read the book you so kindly sent me. It has given me very great pleasure, and I hope it will receive the praise it deserves.

I particularly enjoyed your Semantic poetry, which reminded me of pedantic phrases that I amused myself by inserting in my book on Human Knowledge. Perhaps the highest compliment that I can pay to your book is to say that it is nearly as mad as the world.

Yours truly,
