Papers, 1852-1900.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207173322

The collection consists of eighty-four letters written by Richard Henry Stoddard, mostly dating from the 1880s and 1890s, many of which were addressed to either Susan Hayes Ward (1838-1924) or to her brother, William Hayes Ward (1835-1916), editor of The Independent, a weekly religious newspaper. Others to whom he sent letters include Edmund Clarence Stedman (1833-1908), Robert Shelton Mackenzie (1809-1881) of The Philadelphia Press, Lippincott's Magazine editors William Shepherd Walsh and Henry Stoddart, and J. M. Stoddart of Stoddart's Review. The contents of these letters range from his offering of original poems and articles (and what he believed would be fair payment, should they be published) to literary criticism of work both unpublished and published. The collection also contains eleven of Elizabeth Drew Barstow Stoddard's letters, probably written in the 1890s, most of which deal with "sketches" she would be happy to write and their attendant fees, should they be published. The collection also contains an autographed menu of the Author's Club dinner honoring Richard Henry Stoddard, 1897, one unpublished poem, "An Invocation Before the Shrine," and one memorial honoring Col. Edward D. Baker, 1861.
