Dear Mr Watts -
I am much touched to find, on my return from a long absence, your most kind and charming letter[4] -
Approval or acknowledgment of any kind, I am here but little prepared for, - you may imagine therefore the deep pleasure this flattering and warm expression of sympathy from a confrère so greatly distinguished as yourself, has given me! -
