Scope and Contents

No doubt she has heard that Helen Hunt Jackson died here last week. The Indians have lost a true friend. H. H.'s fair mindedness to the Mission Period of California first attracted Miss Manning to her. She could not help wishing that she had died a Catholic. Father Angel Casanova who restored San Carlos mission said that no one helped him more than H. H. Miss Manning sends a copy of the verse she wrote as a tribute to the author of "Ramona". Note: Miss Manning's letter is copied in Starr's hand. It is not signed by Manning. But Miss Starr signs her part. :: XI-1-c A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
