Letter from Harriet Beecher Stowe, [Andover, Massachusetts], to Phillips, Sampson & Company, [1856] July 13

Harriet Beecher Stowe writes to Mr. Phillips of Phillips, Sampson & Company in regards to her publishing deadline for her next anti-slavery novel "Dred." She writes, "Between now & the 30th are only about 12 working days-I cannot calculate on producing more than 20 pages of manuscript a day." She requests a half a dozen more bottles of Catawba to "support the hot weather & the long pull." A second letter is written Monday morning by Calvin Ellis Stowe requesting more time to finish the novel and dividing it into two volumes.
