50 YEARS TAKEN FOR DICTIONARY
And It Cost Noah Webster SSO,0OO as We'll

New York, sept,19,-A letter written in 1928 by Noah Webster, author of the dictionary which is said to have prevented the United States from becoming a nation speaking many dialects, in which the writer refers to his plans to secure a reception for his work in England, has been given out by John Stuart Thomson of Jersey City.
 The communication, which is de- scrioed as hitherto unpublished, was addressed to Charles k. Web ster, a cousin of Noah and was found by MT. Thomson among the papers of the cousin. It reads as follows:
 New Haven, Sept. 24, 1923. 'Dear Sir:
 T expected you would call upon me the morning you left New Ha- ven but you disappointed me and l lAuCI WILD NllGl NGlhl " say tO you. You must have heard that ] have been many years in compiling a complete dictionary of our lam guage. My researches have been laborious and extensive, and l think fruitful in discoveries. AS l am drawing toward the conclusion of | the work, l think of going to Eng | land next summer to revise and | complete the work and to try to obtain a reception of it in that | country. But my resources are too scanty for such an undertaking and | l want to avail myself of all my | extra means. l have on hand a | new book of my own publishing, entitled Letters to a young gentle- man concerning his education,' some of which l think may be sold in Albany. The retail price is S1.75, the work being a thin octave. The sheet price is 90 cents and for a hundred or more l would say so | cents. Now, Sir, will not Webster and Skinner assist me, by taking a hundred or two. either bound or in sheets; bound at SL29 or in sheet at 80 cents? If you will, it will very much oblige me.
 My dictionary has cost me 26 years of labor and about sS0 900, If I succeed I shall reimburse my self and be able to compensate all my friends for their advances. If I should not, I shall be left in my old age with small means for sub sistence.
 Please to present our kind re- spects to Mrs W. and other friends
 Yours with affection and re- spect,
 IN. WEBSTER"
