will bring to light every hidden thing. There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, neither hid that shall not be known; and so justice will not fail. Such, my dear friend, are my thoughts; different from what they were since first I heard that strange, sad history. Meanwhile I love you forever, whether we meet again on earth or not. Affectionately yours, H. B. S. Before her article appeared in print, Mrs. Stowe addressed the following letter to Dr. Holmes in Boston:-- Hartford, June 26, 1869. Dear doctor,--I am going to ask help of you, and I feel that confidence in your friendship that leads me to be glad that I have a friend like you to ask advice of. In order that you may understand fully what it is, I must go back some years and tell you about it. When I went to England the first time, I formed a friendship with Lady Byron which led to a somewhat interesting correspondence. When there the second time, after the publication of Dred in 1856, Lady Byron w

When you have read my article, I want, not your advice as to whether the main facts shall be told, for on this point I am so resolved that I frankly say advice would do me no good. But you might help me, with your delicacy and insight, to make the manner of telling more perfect, and I want to do it as wisely and well as such story can be told. My post-office address after July 1st will be Westport Point, Bristol Co., Mass., care of Mrs. I. M. Soule. The proof-sheets will be sent you by the publisher. Very truly yours, H. B. Stowe. In reply to the storm of controversy aroused by the publication of this article, Mrs. Stowe made a more extended effort to justify the charges which she had brought against Lord Byron, in a work published in 1869, Lady Byron Vindicated. Immediately after the publication of this work, she mailed a copy to Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, accompanied by the following n

I was meeting them advertised in dailies, and made up into articles in magazines, and thus the generation of to-day, who had no means of judging Lady Byron but by these fables of her slanderers, were being foully deceived. The friends who knew her personally were a smrity in which Lady Byron had been engaged with me in assisting an unfortunate artist. It concludes thus:) I write now in all haste, en route for Paris. As to America, all is not lost yet. Farewell. I love you, my dear friend, as never before, with an intense feeling that I cannot easily express. God bless you. H. B. S. Th

On reviewing my note I can recall that then the whole history ae. But my purpose to-night is not to write to you fully what I think of this matter. I am going to write to you from Paris more at leisure. (The rest of the letter was taken up in the final details of a charity in which Lady Byron had been engaged with me in assisting an unfortunate artist.

rform as respects that truth? Hear me, then, while I tell you the position in which I stood, and what was my course in relation to it. A shameless attack on my friend's memory had appeared in the Blackwood of July, 1869, branding Lady Byron as the vilest of criminals, and recommending the Guiccioli book to a Christian public as interesting from the very fact that it was the avowed production of Lord Byron's mistress. No efficient protest was made against this outrage in England, and Littell's Living age reprinted the Blackwood article, and the Harpers, the largest publishing house in America, perhaps in the world, republished the book.

infamous accusation. Suppose there are some anomalies hard to explain in Lady Byron's conduct. Could a young and guileless woman, in the hands of such a man, be expected to act in any given way, or would she not be likely to waver, to doubt, to hope, to contradict herself, in the anomalous position in which, without experience, she found herself? As to the intrinsic evidence contained in the poems, I think it confirms rather than contradicts the hypothesis of guilt. I do not think that Butler's argument, and all the other attempts at invalidation of the story, avail much in the face of the acknowledged fact that it was told to various competent and honest witnesses, and remains without a satisfactory answer from those most interested. I know your firm self-reliance, and your courage to proclaim the truth when any good end is to be served by it. It is to be expected that public opinion will be more or less divided as to the expediency of this revelation . Hoping that you hav

In writing this book, which I now take the liberty of sending to you, I have been in . . . a critical place.
