| Abstract | A letter from Fanny Norcross to Mabel Loomis Todd regarding Dickinson's letters and poems. Norcross notes that she found a poem Todd inquired about and tells Todd that she had printed it poem correctly. The letter includes transcriptions of Emily Dickinson's final letter to the Norcross sisters that reads "Called back" and a poem that begins "A word is dead, when it is said." August 10, 1894 is penciled in an unknown hand at the top of the transcripts. |
| Notes | The date range is based on the year Emily Dickinson died and the year the final volume of Dickinson's poems and letters that Mabel Loomis Todd edited was published. |
