The letter is in response to Millicent Todd Bingham regarding comparisons of transcriptions of Emily Dickinson letters to originals sold by Harry Stone. The second half of the letter discusses a sale of items for Miss Sweetser, likely referring to Dickinson's letters. Stone notes the sale was partly disappointing and that public interest is only in unpublished materials. An unattributed penciled note states this item is "concerning Tr 85-105," which may indicate a relation to twenty one transcriptions of letters from Emily Dickinson to Abigail (Abby) and Cornelia (Nellie) Sweetser in this collection.
