Rufus B. Sage letters, 1836-1856.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702138345

20 ALS and 2 statements of account and 1 receipt. 13 of the letters and the other three items are between Sage, his publishers Carey & Hart,and their successor Henry C. Baird & Co., and largely concern the dispute over his copyright fees. Three letters from his mother Jerusha Sage, to Rufus just after he moved from Middletown, Connecticut to Marietta, Ohio, contain news of local events. There are two letters from Rufus to his mother dated early 1836, one describing his trip to New York on his way to Ohio, and another describing Marietta. Two undated letters from his mother recount Middletown news, and one other letter is from his cousin Martha P. Sage, dated June 23, 1837.
