Excerpt from Recollections of Grover Cleveland I have explained the principles and policies that have guided me in writing this book. But no task like this can be executed without incurring agreeable obligations to many persons. The Executors of the estate have generously given me permission to print letters written by Mr. Cleveland, and I have received many suggestions from his sister, Mrs. S. C. Yeomans. I owe especial thanks to Colonel John P. Irish of California; ex-Attorney-General William U. Hensel of Pennsylvania; Colonel Hilary A. Herbert of Washington, D. C.; ex-Secretary George B. Cortelyou of New York; Hon. Alton B. Parker of New York; and Mr. Herbert P. Bissell of Buffalo. They have all sent me useful contributions to history.
