Samuel Downer Esq

My Beloved Friend

That "reunion" was a grand affair and highly creditable to yourself.

I am glad it is to "be preserved in pamphlet form."

I had no speech to make at the time, and none now to print.  But I was proud to see my name in the Journals of the day among your honored guests.  And hope it may appear in the pamphlet.

 R. H. Neale.
