Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents 2 pages. Autograph Letter. Great reception of Hope's speeches, and the honor it has brought, both to him and to the state of Virginia; although these demonstrations are sincere, they are from the "worse half of humanity," to the better half, which speaks "in the vernacular of the heart," must express its thanks in another way; flowers accompanied the letter to show their appreciation; puts Hope on the same literary level as Edgar Alan Poe and John Reuben Thompson.
