Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Correspondence of Jonathan Worth, Vol. 1 The following collection of letters came into the possession of the editor through the kindness of Mrs. William H. Bagley and Mrs. E. E. Moffitt, two of Governor Worth´s daughters. They proved of so much value in the preparation of a sketch of Reconstruction in North Carolina, upon which the editor was then engaged, that they seemed well worth publication. The North Carolina Historical Commission has made this possible and all of the letters calculated to cast any light upon conditions in North Carolina have been included in this collection. With but few exceptions the letters written by Governor Worth are from his private tissue letter-books. Those written to him which are here included, a very small part of his correspondence, were also loaned by the members of his family. All are now in the possession of the North Carolina Historical Commission. Many very valuable letters were destroyed some years ago when his residence was burned, adding another to the many similar losses in the State. It is most unfortunate that time has made it impossible to read a number of the letters. In some cases, also, parts of letters are illegible; such passages are always indicated. Most of the letters are self-explanatory and consequently the notes are few. The biographical sketch will also serve to explain many of them. In explanation of the method followed in editing them, it is only necessary to say that the orthography, capitalization, and punctuation of the writers are unchanged. Wherever the address of the person to whom the letter was written is known, it is placed immediately below the letter. Except where they are needed to make clear the relations existing between the writer and the person addressed, the forms of address and closing are omitted. The index will appear in the second volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
