The story concerns Bonnie, the orphan niece of "two quaint little old ladies." "Bonnie's real name was Laura Ann, but some young relatives who loved her very much had first called her 'Bonnie Annie Laurie'".This latter name is the title of an 1883 march by John Philip Sousa, inspired by an old Scottish ballad. Greene has made numerous pencil corrections in the manuscript.Belle C. Greene [1842-1926], born in Pittsfield, Vermont, was orphaned at the age of four and was brought up and educated in New Hampshire by distant relatives. She began writing in 1881 and, in spite of kindly but hardly encouraging advice from a friend, she succeeded in selling a humorous sketch to "Godey's Lady's Book". She continued writing for the magazine for a year, concluding with a novelette later published in book form, "A New England Idyll". She continued publishing novels and collections of her humorous sketches, attracting considerable critical attention, both positive and negative. In 1887-88 she made an extensive tour of California and the Pacific coast. Her contributions to newspapers in Los Angeles and San Diego added greatly to her reputation.
