To W. D. Whitney 1 August [1877]
Summary
Sends thanks for a newspaper abstract; will be pleased to see the paper [probably "Economy as a phonetic force", Trans. Am. Philological Assoc.8 (1877): 123–34] when printed.
Sends his own ["Biographical sketch of an infant"], saying it is of little value, the observations having been made before recent advances in philology.

To W. D. Whitney 5 August 1874
Summary
Praises WDW’s essay on language [North Am. Rev. 119 (1874): 61–88] which argues against Max Müller’s views and is a good defence against an attack made in Quarterly Review on CD’s short discussion of language.
