Summary
Concerning his writings and many acquaintances. The letter to Massett (1820-1898) concerns To Leeward, commenting, "Apropos of that book, I have seen a report that the heroine (Leonora) is drawn `from a lady prominent in American society now travelling in the far East.' I do not pretend to fathom the wisdom of the gossips, but this I can assure you, that Leonora is drawn very accurately from a lady in Rome who has never crossed the ocean... "; the letter to Mrs. Peabody discusses criticism of the work. The letter to Macmillan concerns proof corrections: "One very amusing misprint--`George unconsciously clasped Constance's head [the word "head" underlined] in his'!!--head for hand [the word "hand" underlined], of course."
