Nicolson's conjugal account of the hero), I want to thank you for the pleasure of it. I said to Marion Sam is one of the few writers who uniformly delights me. Moreover, while I read Mahan in my early years, you, above all, nourished my interest in, and enlightened my mind, in so far as I have interest in and enlightened on matters naval. Mahan is a reference to Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, a naval officer and naval historian. The letter is on green stationery with a faint central mailing fold and is in fine condition.
