Ella Higginson letters to S. S. McClure [manuscript], 1896, no date.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/420531318

Higginson writes to thank McClure, 1896 Jan 7, for the illustrations of her "1900 Woman" in The Oregonian as well as his kindness in accepting so many of her stories last year. She concludes by asking whether "an original poem by Lincoln, published in a paper during the period of his broken engagement with Mary Todd, anecdotes of their courtship, including the exact words with which she finally renewed the engagement" would be of any interest to him. Attached is an undated, unidentified print of a biographical sketch and photograph of Ella Higginson. In letters Oct 19 and Nov 23, no year, Higginson returns a proof and asks McClure to notify her of publication. She also asks about his use or return of her "Knucklin' Down" stories and asks whether he would have any objections to the republication of her stories in a book.
