I send you by the same mail with this a copy of "The Home, School and Nation" which contains a short article on your life and work. If the article is inaccurate in important particulars, will you kindly let me know, that I may correct the mistake.
I felt, when the editors asked me for an article
on your life and work, that I had not the proper material
since I had never even seen you, and know nothing of your personal history. But my debt of gratitude to you, through
your writing, is so great that I could not refuse the opportunity of introducing new readers to you.
For you have been literally an inspiration
in my life. I can not analyze the subtle something which comes to me through your poems; but it is
new life. It rouses many questions.
May there be before you long and peaceful years of happy life, and may you be to many other lives what you have been to mine
Sincerely Yours Jennette B. Perry Vassar College, Poughkeepsie September 16th, 1890
