Présentation de l'éditeur
London, A pril 27, 1884. Dear Uncle Ferdinand: I dedicate this book to you. The road is long between Montana and London, but the recollection of your many kindnesses to me bridges it over. I want to persuade American girls who come over to Europe to study music, that they might be wiser to stay at home. Probably my advice will be thrown away, and we shall still see hundreds, ech year eager to waste their time and other peoples money on the wild expectation that they will in a few years blossom forth as prima donnas, and have the whole world at their feet. If they do, it will not be the fault of Your affectionate niece, Blanche. To F. C. Roosevelt, Fort Benton, Montana.
