George Ticknor, Life, letters and journals of George Ticknor (ed. George Hillard), Chapter 5: (search)
fore, two letters for the President: one affirmative, one negative. Choose, dear father and mother, whichever you please, and be assured your choice will make me happy. If you had mentioned the subject in your letters, or if from Cogswell I could have gained a hint of your wishes, I should have sent but one of them. As it is, your decision cannot be difficult, since in either case it must be proper. Your affectionate child, George Ticknor. To Edward T. Channing. Gottingen, November 16, 1816. Two months ago, my dear Edward, I wrote you from Leipsic, and on my return here found your letters of August 9th and September 14th. I thank you for them, as I do in my heart for all your letters, and read them with grateful pleasure throughout, even that part of your last in which you abuse the German literature. You must, however, permit me to answer this. I am an elder soldier, not a better, and may claim to be heard on the ground of experience, if not of disinterestedness.
