Dillingham, J.B., Maysville, Kentucky, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 March 23

As an intimate acquaintance of his much lamented associate, Durant Waterman, Dillingham was requested to attend to his correspondence. Blanc's letter received today was too late to be of any avail. Dillingham has never known Waterman's equal. He was generous, energetic, of a handsome manly form. He could converse in four languages and read many more. He contributed to a large number of American publications and is the author of a large number of literary articles. He was not quite 23 years of age. :: V-5-g A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
