Lee, Eliza Buckminster, 1794-1864. Letter : Somerville, Mass., to Rev. Charles Lowell, Cambridge, Mass., 1848 July 6.

Title: Letter : Somerville, Mass., to Rev. Charles Lowell, Cambridge, Mass., 1848 July 6.

Writing to "my dear friend," Lee thanks Lowell for his recollections of her father and brother, Lowell's Harvard classmate, Joseph Stevens Buckminster. Most of the letter concerns a romantic disappointment in the life of her father, Joseph Buckminster. Buckminster had been engaged to marry Elizabeth Whitman, who ended the relationship because of her preference for Pierpont Edwards. Unmarried, she delivers Edwards' child in a roadside inn and then kills herself, the story forming the basis for Hannah Foster's novel, The Coquette. Lee writes: "I am aware that the 'Coquette' was founded upon the incidents which my father was connected. I believe it has been more read than any other American novel..."
