THE LATE JAMES FORD RHODES [To the Editor of the
SPECTATOR.]
Sin,—Since the family of the late James Ford Rhodes has entrusted me with the responsibility of preparing a biography of the Historian of the United States from 'the Compromise of 1850, I am seeking to bring together all the available letters front him which might throw light upon his life and work.
If any person possessing such letters will be good enough to wnd them to me at 26 Brimmer Street, Boston, Mass., U.S.A., for examination with reference to this undertaking, the originals will be carefully returned after the Copying of the passages that may lend themselves to biographical uses. Copies will, of course, be welcome from those who prefer not to commit the originals to the mails.
The help thus sought from Mr. Rhodes's correspondents; Anierican, British and Continental; will be warmly appre- ciated.—I am, Sir, &c.,
