Pickard (1828-1915) to J.W. Courtney, dated 19 February 1912, with his partial ‘retractation’ on a slip pasted in, dated May 1907. A forgery, ‘edited’ by Pickard, perhaps by ‘a colored man named William Symmes’, if Pickard’s retraction note is to be believed.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4103458" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
