News at Eleven: On January 17 of 1888, [William] Lambie

wrote in his diary, "Received a kind complimentary postcard from my favorite poet, Dear delightful John Greenleaf Whittier." Written in a rapid, looping script, the postcard reads, "Dear Friend, I heartily thank thee for thy poetical tribute and am thy sincere friend. John G Whittier."
