Preface
The Garfield personal letters, written between 1853 and 1881, are among the documents in the James A. Garfield Papers, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Of the more than twelve-hundred letters in the collection, I have chosen about four hundred for inclusion in this volume. My basis for selection has been the inherent interest in the topics discussed and a regard for the continuity of the marital relationship. I wish the letters, above all, to tell a story of a marriage. Accordingly, while my annotations for the surrounding context of political or military situations have been minimal, I have tried to clarify the domestic situations as much as possible.
