Scope and Content Information
In this letter, James Russell Lowell writes to the editor of the Herald [James Gordon Bennett, Jr.], registering a strong complaint of misrepresentation in an article written in the morning's Herald by Julian Hawthorne. He mentions not suspecting Hawthorne's purpose in visiting and his previous failed attempt on Lowell's friend Dr. Holmes, and suffering "an irreparable wrong" at the hands of Hawthorne.
