Your note inquiring about "Ashes of the Beacon" interests me. You
mention it as a "pamphlet." I have no knowledge of its having appeared
otherwise than as an article in the Sunday edition of the "N. Y.
American"--I do not recall the date. If it has been published as a
pamphlet, or in any other form, separately--that is by itself--I
should like "awfully" to know by whom, if _you_ know.
I should be pleased to send it to you--in the "American"--if I had a
copy of the issue containing it, but I have not. It will be included
in Vol. I of my "Collected Works," to be published by the Neale
Publishing Company, N. Y. That volume will be published probably early
next year.
But the work is to be in ten or twelve costly volumes, and sold by
subscription only. That buries it fathoms deep so far as the public is
concerned.
Regretting my inability to assist you, I am sincerely yours,
