To

MY DEAR COUSINS,

IDA AND GABRIELLE,

THIS

STORY OF A SUMMER

IS AFFECTIONATELY

Dedicated.

This little volume is in no sense a work of the imagination, but a simple record of a pleasant summer's residence at Chappaqua, embracing many facts and incidents heretofore unpublished, relating to one who once occupied a large portion of the public mind. Believing that it may interest many who care to know more of that portion of his busy life which was not seen by the public, but which pertained to his home circle, the author has been persuaded to print what was written merely for the amusement of herself and friends.
