Excerpt from Billy Baxter's Letters
In presenting a new edition of Billy Baxter's Letters we need only refer the reader to the original preface, which sets forth the circumstances surrounding the initial publication.
Billy Baxter claimed, for his slang, that it was up to date, but time has proven that it was far in advance of date, only because many of the expressions used in Billy Baxter's Letters did not come into common use until upwards of ten years after the publication of the famous stories.
