Book Description
Excerpt from The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, Vol. 1: To His Family and Friends For one thing, the body of correspondence which came in from various quarters turned out much larger than had been anticipated, and the labour of sifting and arranging, it much greater. The author of Treasure Island and Across the Plains and Weir of Hermiston did not love writing letters, and will be found somewhere in the following pages referring to himself as one essen tially and originally incapable of the art epistolary. That he was a bad correspondent had even come to be an accepted View among his friends; but in truth it was only during one particular period of his life (see below, vol. I. P. I 17) that he at all deserved such a reproach. At other times, as is now ap parent, he had shown a degree of industry and spirit in letter-writing extraordinary considering his health and occupations, and especially considering his declared aversion for the task. His letters, it is true, were often the most informal in the world, and he generally neglected to date them, a habit which is the despair of editors; but after his own whim and fashion he wrote a vast number; so that for every one here included some half a dozen at least have had to be rejected.
