Excerpt from The Writings of Lafcadio Hearn, Vol. 14 of 16 With me they have been somewhat uneventful except, indeed, that your wish to see me succeed with the Harpers has been realized: I have become a contributor to the Magazine, and am going to have the honour of a short sketch of myself in it of course, in connection with the New Southern Literary Movement. Andi will also soon have the pleasure Of sending you a new production, just got, or getting out by a Boston house - my Chinese Ghosts; brief studies in poetical prose, if you like. They may amuse you in a leisure moment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
