A long series of affectionate letters to Mary Louise Booth, written in the 1880s when Miss Booth was editor of Harpers magazine discusses many of her works, her difficulty in writing titles, village life in Rnadolph, Mass., her pet canary and cats. A similar group of letters, 1901-05, to Florence Bate, her friend and literary agent, discusses her nom-de-plume stories as well as other publications. There are several letters to Mary Elizabeth Mapes Dodge, then editor of St. Nicholas magazine, Samuel Sidney McClure and other editors of McClure's magazine, Henry Mills Alden at Harpers, and William Henry Rideing, the newspaper publisher. A letter to Miss O'Brien gives advice about publishing and discusses contemporary magazines.

French, Richard Duffy, Glen Walton Blodgett, James Stuart Wilson, and David Fellers Fleisher and Jeanette L. Gilder. There are many social letters to various recipients.
