Item Details

Description

Title: Typed Letter, signed, to publisher S.S. McClure
Author: Harris, Joel Chandler
Description: Typed Letter, signed. 1 page, on Atlanta Constitution, Editorial Department letterhead.To magazine publisher S.S. McClure, New York, in full: "Thanks for the paper. The illustrations are apt and spirited. Did you see the Inter-Ocean’s editorial reference to the story? It was quite a compliment. I have another story under way, which would have been completed but for sickness in my family. I have to do this kind of work at home at night, you know.” Celebrated for his Black dialect Uncle Remus-Brer Rabbit stories, which first appeared in book form in 1880, Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908) was a Georgia journalist who worked for an Atlanta newspaper for over 20 years, despite his growing literary fame. He also wrote for magazines in his spare time, including the Civil War short story mentioned in this letter - “The Comedy of War”, which appeared in the very first issue of the new McClure’s Magazine in June 1893, with 10 uncredited illustrations. McClure also became Harris’ book publisher in the last years of his life.
