Letter from Joseph R. Folsom to [George Haven] Putnam 1892 FEB 1

ALS. 2 p.

Refers to earlier correspondence between Putnam and Ambrose Bierce concerning the publication of his book, Tales of Soldiers and Civilians, which was eventually published in San Francisco by Bierce's friend, E.L.G. Steele in 1891. Bierce had claimed that he could not get an Eastern publisher to accept his book for publication, but this letter indicates Putnam had made Bierce an offer which he refused. [#5992-i]

Bierce promises to have his photograph taken so that he can fulfill her request for an autograph and photograph and playfully says, "When I get there I shall blindfold you, hypnotize you and command you to find my lost youth and freedom. Then I shall marry you alive and live happily ever after." [#5992-j]

Bierce writes "I am sending you by this mail the photograph of a bad old man with a scowl. The scowl, however, is not for you - you never saw it." He did not send a photograph to her big sister (Louise?) because she already had one more pleasant looking. [#5992-j]

Bierce sends Harriet some wild pansies growing by the wayside because they made him think of her, "I feel sure that the thought of you was put into my head by some divine intervention in the affairs of mortals, and for some purpose. My interpretation - with my feeble light and dull intuition- is that I am to send you some of those poor little frail pansies." He then goes on to explain that pansies are for thoughts and their old English name "hearts-ease" is better suited than "pansies = pensees" [#5992-j]

Bierce thanks her for sending him the ginger cakes which he tried to share with the horned-toads but they preferred grasshoppers. He declines to visit Oakland because his last visit cost him a month's illness but urges her to visit him in Los Gatos and to bring with her "that impossible paragon, the Pittsburgh sister - whom, however, I believe to be a myth."

Bierce asks Harriet for the Paris address of her "musical sweetheart," Will King, so that he can thank him for a book and asks her to write him concerning herself. Otherwise he will have to hire a detective to shadow her night and day and send him reports of everything he learns about her activities. [#5992-j]

Responding to her impression of his goodness Bierce writes, "It is pretty easy to be good to you, and I don't expect any credit for it in the books of the Recording Angel. He will say: 'Bah ! who wouldn't be good to Hattie Hershberg?' and then he will debit me with one selfish motive." He also mentions Kodak photographs of a group consisting of Hattie, Mamie, Dave, Selma, Louise, and himself, while assuring her of his devotion, "you are still the only girl in the world; and if there is a man who does not love you he is a scoundrel." Referring to his experience in military life Bierce writes, "No, my pet scheme for making soldiers of the Major's little rascals is not practicable. The confounded Government is so particular about the moral character of its recruits that I couldn't enlist myself. This is a great disappointment to me. I had quite set my heart on getting Co. A into Cuba, to prove that bad boys make the best soldiers. But I'm assured that it cannot be done." [#5992-j]

Bierce writes that he has severed all connections with Los Gatos and that his health is good as he day dreams under the redwoods. He complains that thoughts of her often break in upon his reminiscences of the past, "Only the other day you wantonly interrupted the march of a column of troops from Readyville to Woodbury, Tennessee, which was not at all nice of you."

Bierce declines a guided tour of Silver Lake due to his poor health and continues by teasing Belle about her younger sister, "I'm thinking seriously of transferring my love from Hattie to you. You don't move away without notice, and - well, your mother's right in worrying about Hattie. That girl needs a convent worse than Selma - a convent with more austere 'sisters' and higher walls, topped with broken glass. A sentinel with a repeating rifle might be added." [#5992-p]
