To Charles William Eliot
75 Monmouth Street
Brookline, Massachusetts. February 1, 1898
Dear Mr Eliot,
Thank you very much for your letter informing me of my appointment as assistant professor. It is very gratifying to me that the University should have confidence enough in me to take this step, and I shall endeavour to do my best to justify its expectations.
Yours very truly,
G Santayana
