Transcriber's Note:
The two introductory sections, "The Introduction," and
"A Memoir of Ambrose Bierce," were originally printed
in italics with non-italicized text used for emphasis.
This convention has been reversed for ease of reading the
e-text.
Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.
Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original
document have been preserved.

In reproducing these letters we have followed as nearly as possible
the original manuscripts. This inevitably has caused a certain lack of
uniformity throughout the volume, as in the case of the names of
magazines and newspapers, which are sometimes italicized and sometimes
in quotation marks.--THE EDITOR.
