rs. Stowe's daughters at the time was their mother's perfect calmness, and the minute study of the storm. She was on the alert to detect anything which might lead her to correct her description. Of this new story Charles Summer wrote from the senate chamber:-- My dear Mrs. Stowe,--I am rejoiced to learn, from your excellent sister here, that you are occupied with another tale exposing slavery. I feel that it will act directly upon pending questions, and help us in our struggle for Kansas, and also to overthrow the slaveoligarchy in the coming Presidential election. We need your help at once in our struggle. Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. Having finished this second great story of slavery, in the early summer of 1856 Mrs. Stowe decided to visit Europe again, in search of a much-needed rest. She also found it necessary to do so in order to secure the English right to her book, which she had failed to do on Uncle Tom's Cabin. Just before sailing she received

Late in 1853 she writes to him : In reWhat I fear is that your paper will take from poor Uncle Tom his Bible, and give him nothing in its place. To this Mr. Garrison answers: I do not understand why the imputation is thrown upon the Liberator as tending to rob Uncle Tom of his Truly your friend, H. B. Stowe.

things that our good be not evil spoken of, and that we be left to defend nothing which is opposed to his glory and the good of man! Yours in all sympathy, H. B. Stowe. During the Kansas and Nebraska agitation (1853-54), Mrs. Stowe, in common with the abolitionists of the North, was deeply impressed with a solemn sense that If in any points in this note I appear to have misapprehended or done you injustice, I hope you will candidly let me know where and how. Truly your friend, H. B. Stowe.

sses, from the aristocratic, tyrannical planter to the oppressed and poor white, which is the result of the introduction of slave labor. It is also an object to display the corruption of Christianity which arises from the same source; a corruption that has gradually lowered the standard of the church, North and South, and been productive of more infidelity than the works of all the encyclopaedists put together. The story of Dred was suggested by the famous negro insurrection, led by Nat Turner, in Eastern Virginia in 1831. In this affair one of the principal participators was named Dred. An interesting incident connected with the writing of Dred is vividly remembered by Mrs. Stowe's daughters. One sultry summer night there arose a terrific thunder-storm, with continuous flashes of lightning and incessant rumbling and muttering of thunder, every now and then breaking out into sharp, crashing reports followed by torrents of rain. The two young girls, trembling with fear, g

every minister in the country. Our lectures have been somewhat embarrassed by a pressure of new business brought upon us by the urgency of the Kansas-Nebraska question. Since we began, however, brother Edward has devoted his whole time to visiting, consultation, and efforts the result of which will shortly be given to the public. We are trying to secure a universal arousing of the pulpit. Dr. Bacon's letter is noble. You must think so. It has been sent to every member of Congress. Dr. Kirk's sermon is an advance, and his congregation warmly seconded it. Now, my good friend, be willing to see that the church is better than you have thought it. Be not unwilling to see some good symptoms, and hope that even those who see not at all at first will gain as they go on. I am acting on the conviction that you love the cause better than self. If anything can be done now advantageously by the aid of money, let me know. God has given me some power in this way, though I am too feeble to

sts, her children received a full share of her attention, nor were her literary activities relaxed. Immediately upon the completion of her European tour, her experiences were published in the form of a journal, both in this country and England, under the title of Sunny memories. She also revised and elaborated the collection of sketches which had been published by the Harpers in 1843, under title of The Mayflower, and having purchased the plates caused them to be republished in 1855 by Phillips & Sampson, the successors of John P. Jewett & Co., in this country, and by Sampson Low & Co. in London. Soon after her return to America, feeling that she owed a debt of gratitude to her friends in Scotland, which her feeble health had not permitted her adequately to express while with them, Mrs. Stowe wrote the following open letter:-- To the ladies' anti-slavery Society of Glasgow: Dear Friends,--I have had many things in my mind to sa personally, but which I am now obliged to sa

pieces of negro property you will be guilty of holding after you are dead. Very likely your children may be selling them. Hattie, I rejoice over this completed work. Another work for God and your generation. I am glad that you have come out of it alive, that you have pleasure in prospect, that you walk at liberty and have done with fits of languishing. Perhaps some day I shall be set free, but the prospect does not look promising, except as I have full faith that the Good Man above is looking on, and will bring it all round right. Still heart and flesh both fail me. He will be the strength of my heart, and I never seem to doubt my portion forever. If I never speak to you again, this is the farewell utterance. Yours truly, Georgiana. Mrs. Stowe was accompanied on this second trip to Europe by her husband, her two eldest daughters, her son Henry, and her sister Mary (Mrs. Perkins). It was a pleasant summer voyage, and was safely accomplished without special incident.

the Kansas and Nebraska agitation (1853-54), Mrs. Stowe, in common with the abolitionists of the North, was deeply impressed with a solemn sense that it was a desperate crisis in the nation's history. She was in constant correspondence with Charles Sumner and other distinguished statesmen of the time, and kept herself informed as to the minutest details of the struggle. At this time she wrote and caused to be circulated broadcast the following appeal to the women of America:-- The Providfeel that it will act directly upon pending questions, and help us in our struggle for Kansas, and also to overthrow the slaveoligarchy in the coming Presidential election.
