| | 16, Pers. Recoll. Nath. Hawthorne, H. Bridge, 1893 |
 | | I have thought that, as a corollary to the foregoing sketches of Hawthorne, some of his wife's letters to me might fittingly be contributed, in order to show his manliness and loving devotion to his wife and family, as well as in displaying more fully some of his finer characteristics. |
 | | Bridge once, and then in the street in Boston, after your departure, for I found it impossible to call upon her before the birth of my little boy. |
 | | Hawthorne has really been very ill all winter, and not well, by any means, for a much longer time; not ill in bed, but miserable on a lounge or sofa, and quite unable to write a word, even a letter, and lately unable to read. |
