Life and Letters of Samuel Holden Parsons e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is much to be regretted that, although careful search has been made for a portrait of the General, none can be found. If any ever existed it probably has been destroyed. To Mr. Parsons, to the librarians of the State Department at Washington, of the State library at Albany, of the Astor and Lenox libraries in New York, of the Boston and the other libraries where I have had occasion to search, and to my many correspondents, I avail myself of this opportunity to make due acknowledgments for valuable assistance ever courteously rendered.
