Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whittier's Unknown Romance: Letters to Elizabeth Lloyd Samuel T. Pickard, in his Life and Letters of John Greenleaf Whittier, quotes the reminiscences of Whittier's Philadelphia life, written by Susan E. Dickenson. She says: "Among the young women to whom we girls looked up with interest and admiration in those days was Elizabeth Lloyd, Jr., author of many beautiful poems, and there was a special glamour attached to her, because she was understood to be one of the very few with whom Whittier was really on terms of warm personal friendship, outside of his firm and faithful comradeship with his anti-slavery friends." There had long been a tradition in the Lloyd family that Whittier had been in love with Elizabeth; that he had wanted to marry her in the early days, in Philadelphia, and again, after her husband had died; and that it was because of this that he had never married. These letters, left by Elizabeth to her sister, Hannah Lloyd Neall, confirmed this tradition, and now it seems well that their record of love and friendship should not be lost.
