Dedication
[edit]to
PROFESSOR F. J. CHILD.
My dear child, —
You were good enough to like my Essay on Chaucer (about whom you know so much more than I), and I shall accordingly so far presume upon our long friendship as to inscribe the volume containing it with your name.
- Always heartily yours,
- J. R. LOWELL
- Always heartily yours,
Cambridge, Christmas, 1870
