The only biographer who ever did Insert it apologised for its appear- ance in hi* book, regarding it for many reasons as sn extremely painful duty. \If it could be withheld,\ he laments, \and the act decently rexxmciled to the conscience of a biographer professing to be honest and candid, it should never see the light in these pages. Its gro- tesque humor, its coarse exaggerations in describing the person of a lady whom the writer was willing to marry, its im- putation of toothless and weather beaten old age to a woman really young and handsome, its utter lack of that delicacy of tone and sentiment which one natu- rally expects a gentleman to adopt when he thinks proper to discuss the merits of his late mistress—all these and its defective orthography it would certain- ly be more agreeable to suppress than to pabliKh. But, if we begin by omitting or mutilating a document which sheds so broad a light upon one part of his life and one phas** of his character, why may we not do the like as fa*t and as often as the temptation arises? And where shall the process cease?\ I prefer not to take such s serious view of the letter or its publication. My idea is that Mr. Lincoln got into one of his irresistible mood* of humor and fun —a state of feeling into which he fre- quently worked himself to svert the overwhelming effects of his constitu- tional n>eiancboJy—and in the inspirar tion of the moment penned this letter, which many regard as an unfortunate composition. The class who take such ^ gloomy view of the matter should bear in mind that the letter was writ- ten by Mr Lincoln in the fervor of early manhood, ju*t as he was emerging from a most embsrrasnng firuation. and ad- dressed to a fnend who, ke snpposed. would keep it sacredly sealed from the publ>c eye.
