Caption: Illustration of imperfection from Holbrook's most celebrated publication, Ten Years Among the Mailbags. He had not lost his social intolerance, though; on the first page of the Introduction, he says that if every letter in the mailbag "possessed the power of uttering audibly the ideas which it contains, a confusion of tongues would ensue, worthy of the last stages of the tower of Babel, or of a Woman's Rights convention."
