Scope and Content Information

This collection consists of two letters from Francis Marion Crawford to Clement Shorter. In the first, 1895 April 20, Crawford suggests New York as the best source for a photograph of himself and expresses his pleasure that Shorter is sending a special artist to Amalfi to illustrate Adam Johnstone's Son (published in 1896)].

In the second letter, 1902 July 21, Crawford writes in detail concerning his abandoned novel The Harvest of the Sword, a historical Florentine novel, "Since I last wrote I have not added a line to the Ms of the Harvest, but it is my firm intention to finish it, and when I set to work I shall try and make it fit any vacancy you may have for me. At present I do not think it at all likely that I can finish it in time for you to illustrate it and begin publishing in January."
