As for your LIW-letter-project: This is a wonderful idea. If I had any letters written by LIW I would contribute them to the project immediately. I really think that the information (historical facts, her memories or even what the letters can reveal of LIW’s personality) need to be preserved – and shared.
Wasn’t it great when some day a collection of letters by LIW would be published in a book? Or if at least some letters would be put online like the Wisconsin Historical Society did with a number of Quiner/Carpenter-letters?
But of course the first step is to find and to collect the letters.
May you do well with your project!

Apropos of sharing: Can we hope for one or two excerpts from the collected letters in your future blog entries? )
