Synopsis
Excerpt from The Weeks Collection: Caroliniana
But this fad ceased to interest me, for I had exhausted the possibilities of my position and, building on my dead self, I passed on to other hobbies. The next was newspapers. My desire was to get one copy of as many different papers as I possibly could, and while it lasted publishers were importuned for specimen copies and my friends and acquaintances made miserable with my begging for every stray newspaper that happened to add*a new title to my collection.
I was then, and am now, in a dilettante way, a stamp collee tor. I cannot assign that amiable weakness to any particular period, for it covers all but I have had more control over this propensity than over others, for stamp collecting requires expert knowledge, much time and much money, and while I am always interested in a good collection of stamps, I have not had the disposition to go deeply into the matter for myself.
