Excerpt from Familiar Letters of Peppermint Perkins
To the publlcz - I understand that there is a general impression that I am the author of the following letters, or, if not the author, responsible at least for their prevailing tone of depravity. I ask you, what is a sensitive, but chivalrous, man to do? If I acknowledge them as mine my reputation as a man of good sense is lost. If, on the contrary, I deny all connection with them my sister Peppermint will be in a deuce of a mess. I can only beg for your kind indulgence.
