This letter was sent to Catherine Dickinson Sweetser in spring 1884 (THJ). One passage in this letter may be traced to a rough-copy fragment; see A 637a (early spring 1884 or last decade [THJ]). The letter may also be obliquely linked to the fair-copy letter draft on the other side of the rough-copy fragment and to another fragment associated with that fair-copy draft; see A 637 (October 1884 [THJ], about 1884 [RWF]) and A 287 (October 1884 [THJ], about 1884 [RWF]), respectively. For additional information on Catherine Dickinson Sweetser, see Thomas H. Johnson, Letters (1958), Appendix 1.
