Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of Major Jack Downing: Of the Downingville Militia To the Editors of the Da-Book: Surs: I got your letter tellin me that Mister Bromley and Kura-pany wanted to print my letters in book form, and as you seem to think they understand such kind of work, and are proper persons to do it, I ain´t got eny perticalcr objccshius. It is now jest thirty years sence my first Book of Letters was printed by Ilarper and Kurapany, but I hear that they have turned Abolishinists sence then, and if that is so, I wouldn´t let ´em print a book of mine for love nor money. After I got your letter, I sot down and writ the Kernel, askin his opinion as to printin the Letters in book form, and he wrote back tome rite off, saying I must do it without fale. The Kernel has got ´em all cut out of the papers and put in a scrap book, but it´s kinder onhandy, and he wants to get ´em in better shape. I´ve promised him that you would send him a copy jest as soon as it was out, and you must not fale to tell Bromley and Kurapany to do so. I also writ the Kernel that I thought it would be a good idee to issue a Proclamashin, ordering all the people to buy the book, espeshilly the Loyal Leegers, the soldiers in the array, all the Tax-Collectors, Custom-House Officers, Provo-Marshalls, Postmasters, Copperheads, War Diramecrats, Abolishinists, Black Republikins, etc., etc. The Kernel sed it was a capital idee, and he told me to write it for him. He sed Seward had wrote most all of his Procla-mashins, but he would trust me to write this. He sed he looked upon my letters as "Pub. Doc," and hence Congrissmen ought to frank ´em, and reed ´em, too. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
