Autograph Letter Signed from the American cook Juliet Corson to 'Miss Booth' [Mary Louise Booth, editor of Harper's Bazaar], discussing the arrangements for the writing of a book ['Every-Day Cookery, Table Talk, and Hints for the Laundry', 1884].

2pp., 12mo. Good, on aged paper, neatly placed in a thin windowpane mount. After acknowledging receipt of $90, Corson announces that the previous week she 'had a letter from the House accepting my book.' She has received no answer to her letter asking for 'some information', and asks Booth to 'be my mediator again'. 'I want to know before doing anything more on the book, how many pages it should be and how many words to a page; and also if I must send the entire M.S., or if I can write and send it in sections.' After being confined to her home, 'this week one of my doctors thinks he will get me away for a few days to Plainfield, where he will be over Sunday, so that he can keep an eye on his precious patient. Then I shall come back to work again.' Her 'first outing in the city' will be to see Booth 'and Mrs. Wright [her companion Mrs Anne Wright, 'a friend from childhood']. I hope you both enjoyed your visit to Mrs. Spofford [the writer Harriet Prescott Spofford (1835-1921)], and trust that Mrs. Wright's wrist is strong again.' 'Every-Day Cookery' was published by the Adams & Westlake Manufacturing Company of Chicago in 1884.
