Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Peter and Susan Lesley IT has been my desire in writing this Memoir to give a lifelike impression of my father and mother. They were unusually full of vitality, their interests were varied, and their affections strong and constant. Any account of them which did not show their abundant strength of mind and heart would be of little value. The most direct and natural way to accomplish this end has seemed to be the use of their own intimate correspond ence, since by self-revelation rather than by the description of others is the most vivid impression of personality made. Fortunately we had for use not only the long series of their letters, but also a large number of letters to intimate friends.
