I am
Faithfully yours
GEO. F. HOAR.
I got the following pleasant reply:
BEVERLY FARMS, MASS., August 30, 1889.
_My dear Mr. Hoar,_
Your note of felicitation upon my having reached that "length
of days" which Wisdom, if I remember correctly, holds in her
right hand, was the first I received and is the first I answer.
Briefly, of course, but with heartfelt sincerity, for I hardly
thought that you whose hand is on the wheel that governs the
course of the Nation, would find time to remember so small
an event as my birthday.
You cannot doubt that it was a great pleasure to me to read
your name at the bottom of a page containing so much that
it was kind in you to write and most agreeable for me to read.
Please accept my warmest and most grateful acknowledgments,
and believe me
Faithfully yours,
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
