http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647871219

The collection contains manuscripts of "The Adventures of Captain Horn," "The Merry Chanter," chapters 34-37 of "The House of Martha"; and a quotation from "The Lady, or the Tiger?" Correspondence chiefly concerns his literary output and his work as editor for "St. Nicholas Magazine." Topics include rates for his work, a disagreement with E. Leslie Gilliams over non-payment for a story, work submitted to McClure's syndicate and "Century Magazine," ideas for new stories, opinions of illustrations and the work of other authors, readings, the international copyright struggle, and his busy work schedule. Other topics include travels, particularly a trip to Switzerland, health, the will of a distant relative, presidency of the Aldine Club, and a proposed merger of the American Copyright League with the Author's Guild. Fellow St. Nicholas editor Mary Mapes Dodge is briefly mentioned several times. The collection also contains an engraved portrait, a magazine portrait and a printed notice on international copyright law.
