A note from Frances Hodgson Burnett to Mr. [Rideing?], undated Scope Note: Transcription of Letter:
Dear Mr. [Rideing]
I am sorry the title of the article does not seem to convey its idea clearly enough. I hoped it would. The manuscript is about 3.900 words in length.
Yours sincerely,
Frances Hodgson Burnett
