Abstract | The collection contains a letter, 1889, from A. J. Witherspoon of New Orleans, La., in response to a letter of sympathy on the death of his son, and another, undated, from "the Avenged" to "Mrs. Pry" in rebuke for unwarranted curiosity: "The scorpion lash of accusing fear must indeed be severe, to seduce one into a gross violation of honor, by prying into another's papers with the most sinister motives." |
