Reminiscences And Letters Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Reminiscences and Letters The afflicted sister, whose writings occupy the pages of this book, is well known by name to many of those who will read it. I will here tell them how we came to publish it. In a letter to Sister Bessie, written about a year ago, she asked her to take charge of her letters and other writings, and publish them after her departure, which she then felt would be soon. In a subsequent letter she said Dear Bessie - Since I opened my mind to you about my letters I feel so relieved. Ido not want you to grant my request against your own wishes; but I do hope you will consider it, and that the dear Lord may direct you, and control your decision. I feel as though it is according to His will that I have been directed to you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reminiscences and Letters of Caroline C. Briggs She was always making ready to die, and kept her burial clothing in a certain drawer in her bureau, which I was afraid to look into. She lived until I was fifteen years old, and sank quietly to sleep one beautiful May after noon. I was sick at the time and alone in my room. I remember the buzzing of the flies; the humming of the bees; the flood of warm sunshine streaming over my bed; the fragrance of a bunch of arbutus brought me by a de voted young boy friend my father walking up and down past the door, his head bowed and his hands behind him. This was the first death in our home, and it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. There was no running in of neighbors, as was the fashion in those days, but all was hushed and waiting for the end. I remember, too, being very perverse and refusing to have a black ribbon put on my bonnet, because I could not endure the wear ing of mourning, and I have never worn it since. We lived in a large, rambling old house, more than a hundred years old, and full of strange dark places known as holes, which I believed were haunted and I had agreat fear of them, though sometimes my curiosity got the better of my fear, and I rummaged about among the broken furniture, spinning wheels.

Thework grew insensibly on my hands, beyond the limits of an ordinary discourse, and in a form materially abridged I presented it to the Post at a public meeting held under its auspices on the evening of Decoration Day, 1891. Now, at the request of a number of those who were en deared to the soldier for his many excellent qualities, and of others who, though personally unacquainted with him, are interested in his history as members of the organization that bears his name, I have undertaken to publish the matter I have collected, intending it as a.

Excerpt from Reminiscences and Letters of Sir Robert Ball IN the year 1906 my father decided to publish his Reminis cences. With this object in view he dictated a considerable amount of material. Before, however, he had made any serious inroad upon his store of pleasant memories, other duties compelled him to postpone the compilation for several years; failing health eventually prevented the completion of the work, or even the revision of the notes which he had dictated. It was at his request that I have undertaken the duties of editor. Although it is true that I have been able to record some matters which in his modesty he might have suppressed, it is to be regretted that the whole work was not prepared by himself.

Excerpt from Caleb and Mary Wilder Foote: Reminiscences and Letters There are still so many who remember my brother Henry with faithful afiection, that it has led me to give, in my mother's letters, a rather full ac count of his childhood and youth, showing the gifts and graces of mind and character which made him so beloved. It will surprise those who knew him only in his later years to find that he had to contend with an irritable temper in his early life, although it had been conquered practically by the time he was twelve years old. I have shown it freely, because it is so encouraging to see what victories can be won by persevering efiort under the guidance, and with the sympathy, of a wise and loving mother.
