In a letter, 1892 Jan 29, to Mr. D. Van Pelt, Secretary she writes "I cannot consent to the use of my paper on any other conditions that those named in my note of yesterday. The paper is well known to all scholars, and it would not do to suppress the truth in regard to it. Will you kindly send the copy I sent you to my secretary (instead of a check)..."
