IN a letter of sympathy to Mr. Beatty after the sudden loss of his wife, I suggested that a Memoir of her would be very desirable, meaning that be him self should prepare it. The idea of myself as writer of it had never entered my thoughts. In his reply Mr. Beatty earnestly took up the suggestion, express ing a wish for me to undertake the work. I could scarcely think him serious at the time, and pointed out to him my utter incompetence, as I had had no experience in any sustained literary effort. Nothing farther then passed on the subject.
