Excerpt from The VirginiansThese letters had probably never been preserved, but for the affectionate thrift of one person, to whom they never failed in their dutiful correspondence. Their mother kept all her son's letters, from the very first, in which Henry, the younger of the twins, sends his love to his brother, then ill of a sprain at his grandfather's house of Castlewood, in Virginia, and thanks his grandpapa for a horse which he rides with his tutor, down to the last, 'from my beloved son, ' which reached her but a few hours before her death. The venerable lady neven visited Europe, save once with her parents in the reign of George II. Took refuge in Richmond when the house of Castle wood was burned down during the war, and was called Madam Esmond ever after that event, never caring much for the name or family of Warrington, which she held in very slight estimation as compared to her own.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
