And I read on and on, becoming more and more interested in the story, until I had finished the book. AND I READ ON AND ON BECOMING MORE AND MORE INTERESTED IN THE STORY UNTIL I HAD FINISHED THE BOOK
ich I received in Florence, Italy, in 1870. BOSTON, _Sept._ 9, 1870. MR. ADAMS: _Dear Sir_,--I heard some one remark the other day, that, however high a man might stand in the estimation of his fellow-men, there would be times when it would be pleasant for him to know that he had been of some especial benefit to one or more individuals. The remark reminded me of you, and of the immense advantage which your writings had been to me; and I thought that possibly it might give you pleasure to know that to you--together with a good mother's judicious management--I owe all my taste for reading. Until I was about ten years of age, I perfectly detested the idea of taking a book into my hands. At about this time my mother procured "Poor and Proud," which she commenced reading to me; and finding me a good deal interested, she contrived to stop reading at one of the most interesting points in the story, when, giving me the book, she said that perhaps I would like to read on and see what came next.
