Winsted [Connecticut]. July 5, 1889. [1]p. Sm. 8vo. Contemporary docketing on verso. Folds; very good. Rose Terry Cooke (1827-1892), woman poet and author of New England fiction. In this very brief letter, Cooke requests ".two sets Prayer - Book + Hymnal." of Hartford, Connecticut booksellers Messrs. Brown and Gross. Historian Eve Kornfeld writing in ANB notes Cooke's devoutness: "Cooke graduated from the Hartford Female Seminary at age sixteen. In the same year, she had a conversion experience and became a devout, lifelong member of the Congregational church. She taught school and served as a governess for a clergyman's family in New Jersey for three years but returned to Hartford to care for her ailing sister's family." And further speaking to Cooke's life as an author, Kornfeld states: "Cooke's short stories, fictional sketches of New England lives, established her contemporary fame and enduring reputation. Like many other female authors of nineteenth-century New England, Cooke most frequently chose a regional focus for her fiction, working within the genre known as "local-color realism." Centering on impoverished New England towns or barren rural settings, her "historical" sketches explored the hard lives and often dysfunctional relationships of Puritan families. Throughout her adult life, Rose Terry Cooke was extremely proud of her independence and ability to support herself adequately, if not luxuriously, by her writing. Her local reputation centered on her personal dignity, intelligence, and quick, pungent wit. At the same time, she was devoted to her family and generous with her friends, to whom she often opened her home. Particularly sensitive to the financial and emotional needs of women, Cooke offered her female friends unquestioning support and refuge-she longed to offer the same to Jane Welsh Carlyle, upon reading her letters, and to give Thomas Carlyle a strong piece of her mind.".

8vo. Together 3 pp. on 2 bifolia. One with autograph address. To the editor of the Boston Traveller: "I send you the promised Christmas story to-day. I had to make it a little longer than I intended; these things get the better of me sometimes, but I suppose you will not object to this sort of fault. If you need it condensed however, be so kind as to let me do it. I don't like to have anyone else tinker my work: do you? [.]" (14 Nov. 1882). - To a Pittsfield lady, sending her a shad, or Alosa herring: "This is to introduce Mr. S. Shad: a Finnish gentleman whom I hear you have never met. He is a person of old family, though rather scaly; but he has always been in the swim; he has explored unknown depths, and has a great deal of Attic salt in his constitution, and much good taste. He needs to be accomodated with a cold bath all night, and martyred like St. Anthony in the morning. If you should alleviate his woes then with the crême de la crême, or even the milk of human unkindness, poured upon his cremated body, you will find him grateful (to the palate) [.] I trust you will be able to recommend him to Pittsfield society, as he has long been an important constituent of the Connecticut legislature [.]". - Each with 2 small strips of old mounting tape on verso. The letter of 1882 a little brownstained.
