Excerpt from Letters of John Holmes to James Russell Lowell and Others This book is issued under the auspices of the Cambridge Historical Society, which, early in 1916, appointed a Committee, consisting of Miss Alice M. Longfellow, Miss Mary Lee Ware, and William Roscoe Thayer, to collect and edit the letters of John Holmes. The letters as written by Mr. Holmes are often hard to decipher; sometimes the manuscript has been torn, and Mr. Holmes, even in his best days of writing, did not permit himself to be too strictly bound by laws of punctuation or of orthography. In editing, our purpose has been to make the text as clear as possible by supplying here and there omitted words, commas, and semicolons, and by correcting obviously unintentional slips in spelling.
