Yours, requesting copies .of my hnmor-
ons letters tor publication, is before me.
! have Thought they were hardly worthy OF
being placed before the public in book
form. At the time they were written
tiiev were appreciHtec, because the minds
OF the people needed relaxation from tie
moneutons and absorbing Interests of the
war. The foune.i.ton OF thought was tir-
cd, and these were its rest. Tie humor
that is i'll them was entertaining then, for
1t was pertlnens to the occasion that pro-
voked it, and very irnpertinens to those it
held mp before the putlic eye
| do not think that such hulffor will bear
the wasting severity ct time. It was once
considered spal king and exhiSaratfng, bnt
like good wine it lssss become stale from
having been too long uncorked.
Nevertheless, these letters may be wor-
thy OF preservation, as illustrative Of a
part OF the war-as side show to the
Southern side of it-an index to our feel
lngs and sentiments, aud for this, reason

must req quest, however. that in coppilin g
them, you will thoroughly revise and re-
construct the photography. When | be-
gan writing under the signature of Bill
Arp, | was honestly ideafiz:ng the Lam
guage and humor OF an unlettered coun-
tryman who bears that name. I tried tc
write as he would, could he have written
atall. His earnest, honest wit, attracted
my attention, and he declares to- this day
that have faithfully expressed his seutl-
ments. Those who know him can see
more of him in my letters than they can Of
me, and In this view of my labors | may
Oee suspected OF playing Boswell to an nn
soncated and humorous man, whose is no
Johnson, but Arp.
