Commentary
- This letter was sent to Abigail Cooper around 1884 (THJ), presumably with the pinned slip. One set of pinholes (top center) is visible on the folded sheet carrying the letter; two sets of pinholes (top center; bottom right) appear on the scrap carrying the address, suggesting that Dickinson may have at one time pinned the slip to another document, or that Abigail Cooper herself unpinned and repinned it. For additional information on Abigail Cooper, see Thomas H. Johnson, Letters (1958), Appendix 1. For a related fragment, see A 883 (about 1884 [THJ]).
