Title | Transcript of Emily Dickinson letter to Abby Sweetser |
Identifier | Johnson Letter # 326 |
Dates | 1886-1956 |
Abstract | An unattributed typed transcription of a letter from Emily Dickinson to Mrs. Sweetser. The letter begins with the line "Dear Mrs. Sweet[s]er, My breakfast surpassed Elijah's." A penciled note indicates this letter was written to Mrs. Luke Sweetser (Abby Sweetser). A letter in this collection from Harry Stone to Millicent Todd Bingham dated April 27, 1935 discusses transcripts of Dickinson letters and the Sweetser collection; a penciled note on the Stone letter states "concerning Transcriptions 85 - 105" which may indicate a relation to this transcription. |
Notes | The transcription is undated. The date range comes from the year Emily Dickinson died and the year these transcriptions were donated by Millicent Todd Bingham to Amherst College. |
