Excerpt from The Tale of a Plain Man
In the writing and publication of the first edition of these memoirs, at the request of my children and grandchildren, I was not influenced by the thought that they would be read except from a sense of filial duty. There has been such an unexpected demand for them that after the first edition of five hundred copies was exhausted I have turned a copy of the memoirs, after revision and some additions, over to The John C'. Winston Company, of 1010 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa., who will publish a second edition so that all who desire a copy may obtain one through the publishers.
