This collection was purchased from Walter R. Benjamin, New York, New York, on April 5, 1995.
American illustrator; later became novelist and short story writer; wrote about the American West where she lived for many years.
Collection includes two unidentified one-page manuscripts, one dated around September 15, 1894, and three letters.
In an undated letter to Florence E. Bates, Foote says she is not distressed because her story was returned and mentions a piece in the "Atlantic monthly." In a letter to Jenny Caldwell Nixon dated October 16, 1885, Foote promises to send an autographed copy of her book, "The led-horse claim." In a letter merely dated Monday the 17th to Mrs. Hale, Foote regrets she cannot accept an invitation.
Has written Ticknor & Co. for copy of own book, The Led-Horse Claim . Will autograph and send at once.
Regrets cannot accept invitation.
