Letters of Lloyd Mifflin [manuscript], ca. 1905, 1911.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647813140

In a letter to a Mr. Hopkins, Mifflin discusses the difficult nature of the sonnet form; Thomas Bailey Aldrich's critique of his sonnets, particularly "The flight," "Sesostus," "Transmutation," and "Tithannus" sonnets he has written on a painting by Cuyp, and "The annunciation" by Mingard; and a forthcoming volume of lyrics. He also discusses the format of "Current literature," suggesting that a photograph of Mingard's painting be published with the sonnet. In a letter to a Mr. Price, he sends biographical information on Thomas Mifflin, mentions portraits of him by Gilbert Stuart and John Trumbull, and makes reference to Keith's account of Mifflin.
