Mosquitoes and Monmouth Echoes in a Boston Herald Memoir
A fragmentary reminiscence recounts an eccentric scene with references to British Invaders Day at Monmouth, a boastful nursemaid, and a suggestion to appoint a descendant of a historical hero to a Havani yellow fever experiment post. The narrator recalls Lovelock, a dining room guest, and a plan to laud a family’s national role while weighing unlikely political rewards.
