Papers of Kate Sanborn [manuscript], 1883-1901.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647827165

The collection consists chiefly of correspondence. Included are two business letters written by Miss Sanborn from her farm, Breezy Meadows, in Metcalf, Mass. to Mr. Borlin (?) (1892 September 10) and Mr. Coombes (1892 October 19) requesting the return of a manuscript and negotiating the payment for a book. Also included are letters (1893-1901) to Charles Follen Adams extending him invitations and a book, and thanking him for presents. A letter from George H. Calvert, Newport, R.I. (1883 February 21) responds to Sanborn's request for his personal reminiscences of Margaret Fuller. He mentions his first meeting with her in 1837 when Fuller politely disagreed with William Ellery Channing over the merits of Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd's poem "Ion," a visit in 1838 that included Ralph Waldo Emerson, and a later visit at the Tribune offices with Horace Greeley. The collection also contains an advertising flier (4 p., n.d.) for a series of lectures entitled "Miss Kate A. Sanborn's Lectures on Literature." The flier lists fifteen lecture subjects, including Spinster Authors of England, Bachelor Authors, Pets of Noted Persons, and Vanity and Insanity: the Shadows of Genius, and quotes from favorable reviews.
