Letter from Lafcadio Hearn to Horace Elisha Scudder

Events and changes have been so rapid and so strange that many of these articles forced themselves upon me too quickly, perhaps. Where my strong point is, I do not know. Can you tell me? There are 3 sizes read, of this character. I fancy the above would be the best for the title page. I send you a paper that has given me too much trouble, - "A Sumurai": it is the epitome in one man, of the life of the new Japan. I hope at the next opportunity to send Table of contents, & submit the whole to Messrs. H. M. & Co. Very truly yours Lafcadio Hearn
