Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Major Jack Downing: Of the Downingville Militia To the Editors of the Da-Book: Surs: I got your letter tellin me that Mister Bromley and Kura-pany wanted to print my letters in book form, and as you seem to think they understand such kind of work, and are proper persons to do it, I ain't got eny perticalcr objccshius. It is now jest thirty years sence my first Book of Letters was printed by Ilarper and Kurapany, but I hear that they have turned Abolishinists sence then, and if that is so, I wouldn't let 'em print a book of mine for love nor money. After I got your letter, I sot down and writ the Kernel, askin his opinion as to printin the Letters in book form, and he wrote back tome rite off, saying I must do it without fale. The Kernel has got 'em all cut out of the papers and put in a scrap book, but it's kinder onhandy, and he wants to get 'em in better shape. I've promised him that you would send him a copy jest as soon as it was out, and you must not fale to tell Bromley and Kurapany to do so. I also writ the Kernel that I thought it would be a good idee to issue a Proclamashin, ordering all the people to buy the book, espeshilly the Loyal Leegers, the soldiers in the array, all the Tax-Collectors, Custom-House Officers, Provo-Marshalls, Postmasters, Copperheads, War Diramecrats, Abolishinists, Black Republikins, etc., etc. The Kernel sed it was a capital idee, and he told me to write it for him. He sed Seward had wrote most all of his Procla-mashins, but he would trust me to write this. He sed he looked upon my letters as "Pub. Doc," and hence Congrissmen ought to frank 'em, and reed 'em, too. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
