Excerpt from Life in Washington: And Life Here and There

This book is neither more or less than it pretends to be; a collection of miscellaneous and wayward sketches, which have already had some publicity in the leading journals of Charleston, S. C. I have endeavored to avail myself of various corrections and alterations suggested by known and unknown friends in the hope of rendering my book as worthy as possible of your indulgence. If it relieves a passing hour of solitude or discomfort; short ens a dreary evening, or makes a rainy day more endurable, I am repaid. I speak not of the greater happiness of knowing that my in most thoughts find their echo in your hearts, awakening pleasant emotions and generous aspirations.
