EDITORIAL OFFICE OF THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY. The Riverside Press, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. Mar. 17, 1876 Dear Sir, I was glad to receive your suggestion about Thoreau, although it is not likely that I shall be able to carry it out at present. My design in the proposed papers for this magazine was merely to touch on some of the American novelists. I am also too much occupied with what is my chief
p.
literary work aside from assisting Mr. Howells in the edidting of the Atlantic, - namely, the completion of a biographical & critical essay on Hawthorne (my father-in-law), who is to appear at an early date. I don't know whether you will feel enough interest in this to introduce it to your customers, though it would be pleasant to me to know that I was winning an audience in the West. The book is to be published by J. R. Osgood & Co. Boston. By the way, do you know Ellery Channing's Life of Thoreau? It is published by Roberts Bros. & has at least the merit of an ardent liking for the subject on the writer's past. Very truly yours G P Lathrop
