Acknowledgments

ONCE more I take this opportunity to thank Mrs. F. G. King and the staff of the New York Society Library for their services, so cheerfully rendered, and also Miss May Davenport Seymour of the Museum of the City of New York. At Williamsburg, Miss Mary McWilliams continues to be my dear friend in need, and I am indebted for time and hospitality to Mr. and Mrs.

Kenneth Chorley, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Bath, Mrs. George Coleman, Mrs.

Isobel Hubbard, Judge Frank Armistead, Dr. W. G. Swem, Mr. Rutherford Goodwin, Mr. A. T. Love, and Mrs. Eleanor Duncan. Colonel Arthur F.

Crosby, Officers Reserve Corps, U.S. Army, retired, very kindly lent me personal letters and files regarding the Rough Riders, and I am grateful to Lieutenant-Colonel W. E. G. Ord-Statter of the British Army, Major C. B.

Ormerod of the British Information Services, Captain G. M. Game of the British Territorial Army, Dr. K. C. Waddell of the Henry Ford Hospital, Mr.

Herbert Satterlee, and Miss Elizabeth Garthwaite for the trouble they have taken to answer by letter and in consultation what must often have seemed to them foolish questions about Kitchener’s Egyptian Army, Court presentations, English divorce laws and Scotland Yard procedure, malaria and yellow fever, the Cuban campaign, and the half-forgotten, spacious days of the Nineties, which were not altogether gay. To those of us who cannot quite remember, I hope the book will bring glimpses of a vanished world. And I hope that those who lived in it will feel at home again.
