Excerpt from Poems of John R. Thompson
A valuable supplement to the letters to Thompson is a large number of his own letters, found in the unpublished Griswold Manuscripts in the Athenæum Library in Boston and in the inedited Kennedy Papers in the Library of the Peabody Institute, Baltimore. They throw a flood of light on the writer's life and the literary interests of the period just before the Civil War.
This book owes much to an abiding faith in the value of Thompson's services to literature, to a persistent and wide spread interest in his better known poems, and to friend ships due to his personal worth and attraction. To more persons than can well be named here thanks are offered for assiduous and sympathetic assistance. Miss Carrie Hill Davis searched the libraries and other archives of New York and left no Thompsoniana undiscovered. Colonel W. Gordon McCabe of Richmond, Thompson's friend, communicated his memories of the poet and his work, as did also Mr. Armistead C. Gordon and Mr. R. T. W. Duke, Jr. Mr. J. H. Whitty lent letters and manuscripts from his large collection, and Mrs. Thomas H. Ellis an interesting packet of Thompson's intimate letters to her father, the late B. Johnson Barbour of Barboursville, Va. These are but a few of those who lent biographical and other material used in the preparation of this volume. Three others whose contribution was in the form of needed advice and assistance are Professor William M. Thornton, Dr. John C. Metcalf, and Dr. Philip A. Bruce, who have followed the work from the beginning until its delivery to the publishers.
