Excerpt from Letters From India
AT the meeting of the American Oriental Society in 1903, both Professor Bloomfield and Professor Lanman, in speaking of my husband's life and work, said that his letters from India deserved to be published. When the report of this meeting came to me and I read the sug gestion relating to the Indian correspondence, a half formed plan which had been in my mind for some time took definite shape, and in the absence of a fitter person to undertake the work, I set myself the task of editing the letters.
From the first I have had the help and encouragement of Mr. Stratton's friends. When I remember how freely this help has been given, I wonder that the book is not better - better in every arrangement and detail but one point Ihave kept in mind, and in that I think I have not failed. I have wished that the reader may gain through the letters themselves, with the least possible obstruction by me, not only Mr. Stratton's pictures of Indian life, but a clear impression of his own personality. He liked to enter into little details, so that the letters as they stand have in most cases told their story.
