Aldrich, Thomas [pages: 87, 118]

Shortly after starting his new position in Boston at Every Saturday, Aldrich became friends with William Dean Howells, then an assistant editor at the Atlantic Monthly (87). One month after receiving a note from Howells announcing that "I have a fine boy," Aldrich sent him a letter on September 18, announcing, "I have TWO fine boys" (118).
