Excerpt from My First Vacation and Welcome Home: With a Brief Biographical Sketch

After coffee was served, Mr. De Vinne called the assemblage to order. He said:

Gentlemen and Brothers of the Typothetæ: I am much pleased to see our Society so well represented this evening. It proves that the occasion which brings us together is one of interest to all. I think it a privilege that by your favor I have been asked to sit at this table, with our good friend on my right, and to testify to our regard for him as a faithful member of our Society, and to voice our appreciation of his worth as a man. I do this all the more heartily because my relations with Mr. Polhemus have been more personal than official. He is, indeed, an old friend. Mark Twain once said that he had a wood pile between his house and that of a neighbor; the wood pile had been there for many years, yet he and the neighbor were excellent friends. That is our position. The wood pile has never been a cause of dissension.

Forty years ago we were working very near each other, on opposite corners of Cortlandt and Washington streets.
