One day somebody is going to write a book about HH and take on board all the stuff nobody's saying because somebody might be offended.

At least, I hope to god somebody is collecting the appropriate oral history.

It's not like anybody OUGHT to find anything shameful about it these days, and it IS relevant to the way he went about collecting material.

Aye, verily, 'tis I that met the word 'anent' these many decades ago, yet memory failed.

a·nent

preposition
archaic
meaning: concerning; about.

"I'll say a few words anent the letter"
