LETTER

Catharine Maria Sedgwick to Lydia Howard Huntley Sigourney
1839 Mar 18
ALS, 2 p.

[Apologizes for sending such a "shabby" manuscript; thinks the story too long for a "Souvenir Cabinet," but does not know how to develop so important a subject in less space, except through the etcher'skill; explains that she wrote to Mrs. Lydia Howard Huntley Sigourney in a state of extreme depression due to the upcoming separation from her dearest friends; and reserves the right to republish the story on her own.]
