註釋Their exchanges continued fitfully until they hit a stride in the 1980s and 1990s, the period from which the bulk of the selected letters have been drawn. Both men were amazingly adept correspondents, and their letters are filled with anecdotes, wry humor, some gossip here and there, and general good cheer. From W.C. Bamberger's skillful sifting of the correspondence emerges a portrait of an evolving relationship between the two men. Their distinct personalities come through clearly: Davenport is the scholar, deeply learned but quiet about his personal life. Laughlin, conversely, writes more autobiographically, allowing the reader to see his life refracted through his letters to Davenport.
