Autograph Manuscript Signed.

Popular American author of romance novels, poetry, detective tales and miscellaneous nonfiction, whose success began with a 1859 "Atlantic Monthly" short story "In a Cellar"; Thomas Wentworth Higginson encouraged her to write, and Emily Dickinson wrote to him about Spofford's poetry, "I read Miss Prescott's Circumstance, but it followed me in the dark, so I avoided her." AMS, 1p, 5" X 8", n.p. n.y. Near fine. Minor mounting traces on verso. Attractively penned 4-stanza poem titled "A Snow=Drop," which begins, "Only a tender little thing, / So velvet soft and white it is; / But March himself is not so strong, / With all the great gales that are his." Signed boldly in full at the conclusion. .
