He was only nine years old, but he was my tenderly loved companion, and was in no small degree the creator of this story. He gave it the title it bears ;he discussed with me every incident in it; and every page was written with reference to his wishes and his pleasure. There is not a paragraph here which does not hold for me some reminder of the noblest, manliest, most unselfish boy I have ever known. A h, woe is me! He who was my companion is my dear dead boy now, and I am sure that I only act for him as he would wish, in inscribing the story that was so peculiarly his to the boy whom he loved best, and who loved him as a brother might have done. It is in memory of GUILFORD that I dedicate The Wreck of the Red Bird to CHARLES PELTON HUTCHLNS. G. c. E.
