by Author's Club, and also by the Pen and Brush Club of New York I wrote you, I think from Johnstown, but am now in my daughter's
home in the city for the winter, so I have no more of the circulars here but will give you the circular of another book, making
this one on it. It would delight me to present you with one, but the arrangement is with the publishers, and I have nothing
to do with it, except as I wrote to you, picking out your name as being the same as that of friends of mine in Edinburgh and
London. The book is one of home? life, and is American to the back bone, even to the r illegible of the ears of Indian corn,
which always makes a traveller homesick if he is an American. Very truly yours Jeanie Oliver Smith Temple Oliver.
