Abstract | A transcription of three extracts from Emily Dickinson letters sent to Frances and Louisa Norcross. The transcription is part of the collection of transcriptions of Dickinson's poems and letters produced by Todd for publication in a volume edited by her. Most transcriptions are in Todd’s own hand; some are typed, and some were transcribed by other individuals. The extracts begin with the lines "Oh, Lou, why were the children", "Did the 'stars differ' from each other", and "Think Emily lost her wits". Editor's marks are written in pencil on the transcription. |
Notes | The item is undated. 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. |
