Among the correspondents were Willa Cather (1873-1947), Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910), Jane Goodwin Austin (1831-1894), Ellen Louise Chandler Moulton (1835-1908), and Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911). Mrs. Marble compiled this collection mainly for its autograph value and for the insight it provided for "students of chirography, psychology, and personality."
