Transcription of letter:
"Concord May 8, 1883/ My dear Mr. Andrews:
In answer of yours of the 2nd I would say that nothing would please me better than to write a notice in the spring Field Republican and perhaps in the Philadelphia American, of the book you are editing. I have long been a reader of Jones Very, and as you say, went with your father and the [Cote Sarn?], Johnson to call on him many years ago. I afterwards saw him once in the streets of Salem, but beyond that had no person-al knowledge of him. I am glad you are doing him the justice to collect his pieces and revive the mem-ory of his genius. Please remember me most kindly to your father, and believe me yours [asy?] truly/ J.B. Sanborn"
