Sophia Hawthorne autograph letter signed to James Thomas Fields, [Concord], 19 March 1866
Description:
Is glad to hear a cheerful word against the "captious meddlesome Commonwealth." Has been reading the English Romance and has been held by an inescapable spell. Probably refers to Dr. Grimshaw's Secret. Boston, 1883. Cf. The Commonwealth, Saturday, March 3, 1966.
