Author Description

Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 30: July, 1934 To the President's family these long and repeated absences meant separation, and to his affectionate heart and facile pen they mean letters to the children. The college is fortunate in the possession of a considerable number of those written to his daughter Julia. Their dates range from 1849, when the little girl was twelve years old, to 1869, when the beautiful and popular young wife was in Rio de Janeiro with her husband, U. S. Consul to Brazil. The first were written from England. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
