To DR. EGBERT GUERNSEY.
DEAR DOCTOR:
I can never expect adequately to repay you for your many valuable services to me and mine. Nevertheless, in recognition of what you have been to us, allow me to dedicate this unpretentious volume to you. I shall have more respect for my little stories if in some way they are associated with your name.
Very sincerely yours,
HJALMAR H. BOYESEN.
