  Haarlem, March 1908. Dear Cuey-na-Gael, Thank you ever so much for the pleasure you gave me by sending me the account of your friend O’Neill’s experiences in our country. It is excellent fun and the whole thing is full of quiet humour. It cannot but be highly appreciated by all Dutch people who are trying to master the difficulties of English, and often despair of finding the right word for the right place. To all such it will be quite a treat to see how their vernacular puzzled your fellow-countryman. The booklet fully deserves a place in the libraries of our H.B. Schools and Gymnasiums, and is sure to find one there. Wishing you all possible success with your publication, I remain |
