Bucks, England : Mayne Reid, 1858. Letter. Very good. Single page on folded leaf, dated May 18, 1858, sending regrets that he is unable to furnish Miss Greenwood with a story. The Little Pilgrim was a children's periodical running 1853-1868, edited by Greenwood. Reid was a favorite and noted juvenile adventure novelist, with Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt and Conan Doyle among those who found inspiration from his series.
Sara Lippincott used Grace Greenwood as a pseudonym. Her earliest writing was poetry and children's stories, publishing locally In 1844 at the age of 21, she was published in the New York Mirror and she would go on to receive significant critical attention and be published widely, while rising within the NYC literary circles. She was the first woman reporter on the New York times, joining the National Era, a weekly abolitionist newspaper, and copy editing the original, serialized version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.
