A Partnership For Life the Writer's Garret article

Leornian Feldham was one of the most influential people in Seymore Wainscott's life. In this letter to Merrinand, Seymore speaks movingly about Leornian's character, particularly in terms of the treachery of Shifton Snachitt, who robbed Leornian of his livelihood. "Success," wrote Seymore, "is not the trappings, but the doing and the being that prosper within the individual." Seymore also gives a detailed account of his own contribution to balloon flight, as well as important insights into the relationship between his parents and his soon-to-be in-laws -- Leornian and Coca Feldham.
