"Also, I had private misfortune; a restless unsettled life; repeated losses of large manuscripts dismayed me - a disastrous result of drink; extreme poverty came at times; disgrace, and long periods of obscurity Recurring spells of almost insane debauchery - at times, usually, when a contrary course was imperative - harmed me vastly ." ~Parkhurst, from page three
