Description:
Is not responsible for the article [on The Female Poets of America?] in Neal's Gazette. Has indeed spoken to several people of [Griswold's] unjust attack on Miss [Caroline] May and his misstatements concerning herself [in The Female Poets of America] but would not allow her judgment of a work to be influenced by any private sense of injury.
