Autograph letter signed from Lucy Larcom, Beverly, to Mr. Allen [manuscript], 1886 December 6.

Addressed to "Mr. Allen?" Larcom would be glad for Mr. Allen to criticise her papers and then send them to Boston. She wishes to avoid having anything with "personal allusions" printed; there "are questions of more than local importance underlying the whole thing, questions of principle as to the relation of wealth to citizenship everywhere in our Republic."
