Dear Naomi,
The most delightful way in which old people may be pleased is when they recieve any spontaneous attention from young people; it proves they have been thought of and when this happens in the case of an old man who has been remembered by a charming young lady, the success is complete indeed.
I had not realized that I had spoken of Captain Bone [David William Bone] in your hearing and I am so glad to have this latest report of him, which I shall paste into one of his books that I have.
Thank you, many times.
I am relying on Mrs. Gemmell to plan it so that we may see you at the farm this summer.
Affectionately,
John Gemmell Jr.
