Stoddard, Charles Warren, 1843-1909.

Collection of correspondence addressed to the American author, novelist, poet. Incoming letters from archbishop of St. Louis Peter Richard Kenrick, landscape and figure painter John La Farge, and American artist F.D. Millet. The bulk of the letters (1875-1900) is from Millet, many originating from the various American and European cities in which he worked as a painter and interior designer. A friend of Henry Adams, Henry James, Mark Twain, and a number of minor figures, Millet, in a series of 36 multi-paged letters which are of a highly personal nature, illuminates the contemporary American artistic and literary scene. The letters also contain many references to both Stoddard’s and Millet’s work.
