UK: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1969. Hardcover. Very Good. Preface This book, as it now appears, has a scattering of blank spaces in the text of several chapters where I had originally quoted from Harding's love letters to Carrie Phillips. I have been forced to these deletions because of a restraining order issued by Judge Henry L. Holden of the Court of Common Pleas in Columbus, Ohio, on a motion by Harding's nephew, George T. Harding. This order, which has been "temporarily" in effect now for four years, forbids the publication, production, copying, exhibition, or making any use whatsoever of the letters of Warren G. Harding to Carrie Phillips; and it has served its intended purpose of delaying The Shadow of Blooming Grove. But rather than postpone my book further, I have decided to publish it, bearing in mind the court order by leaving blanks where quotations from the letters would have appeared. In itself it is a smallish omission, a matter of a dozen or so spaces and some 800 words from a text of 300,000. Yet, to my regret, something of the full flavor of Harding is thereby inevitably deleted. Compared to what is available today at any drugstore book rack, Harding's eroticism as expressed in his letters is naive, and even pathetic as the quality of his mind peeps through the boudoir phrases. In his sexuality he was Adolphe rather than Don Juan. The letters, if they can be considered shocking - as some of them can - are more so because they were written by a President of the United States than through the tumescence of their content. When I first read them I felt a sense of pity for the lonely Harding; for Carrie Phillips was clearly the love of his life, and he was more loving than loved. Eventually, of course, the letters will be published as a part of history. Meanwhile each reader must make his own interpretation of them.
