London, 15th October, 1880
My dear Sir,
Well knowing that Sir Anthony Panizzi entrusted most of his literary articles and reviews to you for re-publication in America under your editorship; and aware that he gladly availed himself of your co-operation in adding to the store of American history and literature in the British Museum, I feel that your assistance will be of great advantage in promoting an American edition of my work.
The addition of your ‘Twenty years personal and bibliographical Reminiscences of Panizzi and the British Museum’ cannot but add interest to the new edition, hence I heartily IIcoincide with and approve the suggestion, in full expectation that your long experience and special opportunities will have enabled you to throw still more light on the labours of a life and the merits of an institution which cannot be too well-known everywhere.
Trusting that our combined work will be as cordially received in your country as Americans always were by Panizzi at the British Museum,
I remain, my dear Sir, yours very truly,
Louis Fagan
