1894. With Portraits. Introduction: Soon after beginning the work
of arranging my father's papers for publication, I found a series
of letters which awoke my deepest interest. They covered a period
extending from 1837 to 1891, and proved to be the complete
correspondence between my father and his brother John during those
more than fifty years. These letters, exchanged by two brothers of
such eminence, and many of them written during the most stirring
events of our country's history, seem to me unique. They form a
collection, complete in itself; they are of great historical value,
and the expressions of opinion which they obtain are so freely
given as to furnish an excellent idea of the relations that existed
between my father and his brother. Realizing all this, I have
decided to publish the correspondence by itself; and in so doing,
my chief desire has been to let the letters speak for themselves,
and to put them such form that they may be easily understood.
