Excerpt from A Romance of Arlington House This little prologue is not written as an apology for the publication of these old letters, but because the letters themselves have a history that may perchance enhance their interest. The letters were written at Arlington in eighteen hundred and twenty-four, and therefore are closely associated with the beautiful old place that is now one of the sights of Washington. I first saw Arlington House in the early seventies, when it was simply a dismantled and deserted home, for it was not then easy of access, and its associations were too intensely sad to attract those in search of diversion.
