True, James Preston (1859-1933). Author of children’s books; editor at Houghton Mifflin 1879-1919. ALS, 1 ½ pp. Boston, July 24th, 1912. A response to an autograph request: "Bless you, my lad, - your request for an autograph takes me back a small lifetime to the days when two of us schoolboys tramped out to Cambridge & called on Longfellow with that same end in view!..." A nice response to the request. Very good.
