Letter 1

My Dear Dr. Ward,

Can you use the little story accompanying in the Independent? I think it is rather bright and lively but know that the writer of anything is the last judge. The price is $40. If you should not wish for it will you please return it to me in Newbury Port, Mass, [?] I go tomorrow for the rest of the year? I enclose stamps for that purpose.

Very truly yours,
Harriet P. Spofford
