4. Walter, born 22 December, 1850; died 9 June, 1852. B. “LIST OF COPIES OF THE CONVERSATIONS TO BE GIVEN AWAY BY THE ‘DON’” This is the heading of a sheet in his own handwriting which Lowell drew up for Robert Carter’s instruction. He entrusted the distribution of the books to his friend, as he himself was off on his wedding journey. 1. W. L. Garrison, with author’s respects. 2. C. F. Briggs (by Wiley & Putnam, N. Y.), with author’s love. 3. Mrs. Chapman, with author’s affectionate regards. 4. T. W. Parsons, copy of _Poems_ and _Conversations_ with author’s love (a note to go with these). 5. John S. Dwight (left at Monroe’s bookstore, Boston), with author’s love. 6. W. Page, with author’s love. 7. R. C., with author’s love. 8. Rev. Dr. Lowell. Dedication Copy. Ask Owen to send it up. 9.

Both these in one package, directed to Hawthorne and left at Miss Peabody’s. 17. _Frank Shaw, with author’s love_. 18. C. W. Storey, Jr., with happy New Year. I suppose Mr. Owen will allow me 20 copies, as he did of the _Poems_. If the “Don” thinks of any more which I have forgotten, let him send them with judicious inscriptions. 19. “To Miss S. C. Lowell, with the best New Year’s wishes of her affectionate nephew, the author.” (Mr. Owen will send this up.) 20. Joseph T. Buckingham, Esq., with author’s regards and thanks.
