Mr. W. Hugh Peal
25 Broadway
New York, N. Y.

Dear Mr. Peal:

I am sending "The Shores of Isis" to you by insured
first—class mail at the same time that I mail this letter.

I can not adequately express to you my deep appreciationmll_li
of your generous willingness to let me study the manuscript
and under conditions most convenient for me. My appreciation
is all the greater because I know from experience that few
collectors are so cooperative with those who wish to study
the unique treasures that they possess.

I can tell you definitely now that "The Shores of Isis"
appeared as "Oxford" in the North American Review for
October 5, 1906 (vol. 183, pp. 620~63835 On October 26, 1906,
it was published as cha ter IX ("Oxford") of Certain Delightful
English Towns (Happer's§

 

. The essay seems to be based
primarily on Howells' visit or Visits to Oxford in May and/or
June, 1904. In the latter month he was awarded the degree of
Doctor of Letters by the University, though he does not
mention this in the essay. His letter to his sisters from
Oxford in June (Life in Letters, II, 201~202) contains some
of the same details and attitudes that appear in the essay.

I made a detailed study of the revisions in the manuscript
and of the discrepancies between the manuscript and the
printed text. A number of these reveal interesting stylistic
principles, and I am sure that they will become even more
significant as I study other Howells' manuscripts.

I greatly appreciate your invitation to discuss addit—
ional Howells material with you when I am in New York. I
am planning to attend the English Institute at Columbia
September 9=12, and if you are in the city at that time, I
shall be delighted to talk with you about your Howells
material. Currently, I am primarily interested in manu-
scripts, but more generally I am interested in all his
works.

Thank you once again for your great kindness.

Very sincerely,

fid’ém /\/. m

As promie eed, I enclose the Proust letterea
having used one >f yovr own library ch: oniole en»
velopee for that purpose. Pleas e do not bother to
return thio little book as I can pick It up when I
am in Princeton In January.

A3 I told you, I do not know whether these
lettero are publIsoed. ~a :II ee I am cone rneds I
would have no objection t ~ - being puhllzheof but,
while I hzave oovont and awe : F;' the letter; themu
selves? LS any kind with the
Proust estatea . 7 h I‘fiite I make

this point bec aeoe I an toIC oy 1? professional friends
who er*c"Il*"o in sueh matte! ;-at the ownerInIo of
e

letters does not carry with it th right to publish.
After our conversation o.n Thursday, it oc»
curred to me that perhaps your students would like to
see, In addition to the Qumae material and the Proust
letters, a portion of the manueoript of ?auI et Vir~
gin.I e and a first edition of Amyot’s Plutorch. The
Plutarch copy is a fine one, in fact the finest copy
I et least have ever eeen. It seems to me that your
students might be interested in a diecuesion of the
great oietory of the book as be log the ins piration of
Montaigne, the model (according to Eeguet ) for the
modern French languagey the soulce material for several
of Shakespeare's plays, tte favorite book of Mepoleon and
the basis of much of the tlinking that led to the French
and American revolutions. Perhaps you think that the
above 13 Ilamooy a.nt, but it has alwaye seemed to me that
Plutarch 5 Influence, implemented by Amyot’e translation,
was one of the greatest single factors in civilization
in the latter part of the 16th and In the ?th and 18th
center ee

It wae a pleasure to eee you and I look forward
to seeing you in January.
Cordially yours,
