2 pages on 2 slightly different size sheets, the note signed H.B. Stowe at the bottom of the second sheet. 12mo. Almost fine. Item #346576 Stowe would quote the hymn in her Betty's Bright Idea 1875 . In her note, to an unnamed correspondent, she writes: I send this, which I copied before the hymn became a common one in reply to your application for an autograph. It is not mine. I wish it were, for it has led many to the Savior.
