Preface
in his letters, though those so far published belong mainly to the late period of his life. In his letters we see James a lonely bachelor, thirsting for love and friendship, clinging tenaciously with beautiful veneration and affection to relatives, old and young friends, and not excluding the fair sex in his Platonic admiration.
In a word he is very much like the young men we meet oftenest in the tales of "A Landscape Painter" and "Master Eustace."
Philadelphia, August, 1920.
