At the same time, and for similar reasons, I decided that their publication should not take place until after my death. Literary composition to this little woman-of-letters was certainly no “primrose path.” The packages were therefore handed over to a trustworthy typist and, at my direction, one complete and accurate copy was made of their contents.Īfter careful consideration, and after disguising the names of certain persons and places to preclude every possibility of giving offence⁠—even Mrs. Percy Maudlen, for instance, if she ever scans these pages, may blush unrecognized!⁠—I concluded that though I was under no absolute obligation to secure the publication of the Memoirs, this undoubtedly had been Miss M.’s intention and wish.
