Letters and poem, 1864-1890.

The collection contains four letters, one loose envelope, and a holograph of her poem, "Hidden." A letter, 11 April 1864, to Miss Wells concerns a request to allow the sale of Cooke's photograph for patriotic purposes which she declines but agrees to supply autographs. On 13 March 1865 she writes to the editor of Our young folks requesting their pay schedule as she only writes prose for money. In a 14 October 1882 letter to the editor of the Boston Traveller she tells him how much other magazines pay for her stories. On 18 January 1890 she writes to R.N. Johnson about the Copyright League.
