Letters, 1888, 1894.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/708655459

Two letters written by Kate Douglas Wiggin. The first, Dec. 9, 1888, is addressed to Rev. Roderick Stebbins, Milton, Mass., and discusses in a joking manner comments sent to Wiggin by Stebbins on something she had written, perhaps "The Birds' Christmas Carol." The second, Feb. 25, 1894, is written by Wiggin from the Shoreham, Washington, D.C., to Wm. (?) Walker and asks Walker for tickets to an unidentified event and discusses a room she is going to see. Collection also includes a letter, Dec. 31, 1942, written by Alexander Woollcott from the Gotham, New York City, to Mrs. Roderick Stebbins, Milton, Mass. Woollcott tells Mrs. Stebbins not to send him the letter, presumably the one written by Wiggin to her husband and included in this collection, unless she wants it to end up with his files in the library at Harvard. He also includes a humorous anecdote about Wiggin and one of her doctors.
