Correspondence Between Edward Brooks and John A. Lowell: With Remarks by Edward Brooks, Referring to Documents Annexed (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Correspondence Between Edward Brooks and John A. Lowell: With Remarks by Edward Brooks, Referring to Documents Annexed Circumstances, much to be regretted, have placed me in an unpleasant relation towards Mr. John A. Lowell, which, in my own judgment and that of intelligent friends, requires this form of explanation. I have taken the step with great reluctance, both because of the' friendship which had long subsisted be tween that gentleman and myself, and because it involves dis closures of private matters, which, on many accounts, I should have preferred to avoid. But, it will be perceived, that no alter native is left me, except submitting to imputations equally unjust and discreditable. The persons to whom I shall submit these pages have, already, a general knowledge of many of the facts stated. Others they must be quite unacquainted with; nor do they, probably, bear in mind the dates, order, and connection of events, which, at the time, were known to them. For the sake of distinctness and perspicuity I shall make the statement, therefore as if I were addressing strangers.
