Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Correspondence Between Edward Brooks and John A. Lowell: With Remarks by Edward Brooks, Referring to Documents Annexed Circumstances, much to be regretted, have placed me in an unpleasant relation towards Mr. John A. Lowell, which, in my own judgment and that of intelligent friends, requires this form of explanation. I have taken the step with great reluctance, both because of the friendship which had long subsisted between that gentleman and myself, and because it involves disclosures of private matters, which, on many accounts, I should have preferred to avoid. But, it will be perceived, that no alternative is left me, except submitting to imputations equally unjust and discreditable. The persons to whom I shall submit these pages have, already, a general knowledge of many of the facts stated. Others they must be quite unacquainted with; nor do they, probably, bear in mind the dates, order, and connection of events, which, at the time, were known to them. For the sake of distinctness and perspicuity I shall make the statement, therefore, as if I were addressing strangers. I married a daughter of Mrs. Boott, in 1821. The family then consisted of my much respected mother-in-law, and a number of her children who lived with her, and others who had been married and separated from the family household. The father had died several years before, leaving a large family, and what was then reputed a large estate. One of the daughters had married Mr. William Wells, now living at Cambridge. The late Mr. William Lyman, and Mr. Robert Ralston of Philadelphia, married other daughters. The sons were the late Mr. John Wright Boott, who lived unmarried with his mother; the late Mr. Kirk Boott, of Lowell; Dr. Francis Boott, of London; Mr. James Boott, and Mr. William Boott, both unmarried and inmates of their mothers household. These persons constituted, at that time and for many years after, a happy and united family in all its branches.
