I inscribe this book to Mrs. Peter ChristianLutkin. She said I might, a long timesince. I was a boy then. Now I come tokeep her to her promise and I lay this, myfirst book, on her knees, knowing that it isfull of the sounds of controversy but hopingthat her gentleness, somehow, may harmonizeall harshnesses to the love I meant.
