Dexter, like other men of the world, was a constant and enthusiastic
writer for the press. Though some of his letters have been
collected and many have been quoted in this life there are several
gems of composition that seem peculiarly worthy of a modern reader’s
attention. Several of them here follow, which show, as well as
the “Pickle,” his sterling character and unparalleled point of
view. |
