Letter from Doctor Holmes.

The following letter from Dr. Holmes refers to the work, which is receiving such unbounded favor, on "Harvard and its Surroundings," by Moses King, compiler and publisher:-

296 BEACON STREET, BOSTON,June 24, 1878.DEAR SIR: I find your little book a very satisfactory guide to the most interesting Cambridge localities, well written, well arranged, and exceedingly well illustrated. I must not praise it as if I had carefully studied all its details, but I am disposed to be something more than pleased to see so compact, so well-filled, so handsomely presented a manual for the use of the stranger in the University city, - one too which the native of the town will find to contain much that he has forgotten and not a little which he has never known.

Yours very truly,

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
