I have reproached myself many times since, because I did not show my face, and then we should both have smiled; and so our reminiscences would have been sunny instead of shadowy. But I believe I was so intent on seeing you, that I forgot all about the desirableness of being myself seen'Content:Letters:Browne's Folly (a letter for the Essex Institute)Love Letters (To Miss Sophia Peabody) - Volume I&IILetter to the Editor of the Literary ReviewMemoirs:American Notebooks (Volume I & II)English Notebooks (Volume I & II)French and Italian Notebooks (Volume I & II)Biographies and Reminiscences of Hawthorne:The Life and Genius of Hawthorne by Frank Preston StearnsHawthorne and His Circle by Julian HawthorneMemories of Hawthorne by Rose Hawthorne LathropHawthorne and His Moses by Herman Melville'Fifty Years of Hawthorne': Four Americans by Henry A.
