Both items in very good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Item One (galley proofs): On piece of 13 x 49 cm. paper. In manuscript at head: '7 Harley Gardens SW | Monday | Dear Mrs Butterworth | The Printer will send you a proper proof tomorrow | Yours in haste | E Lowe'.

Item Two (manuscript biography): 4pp., 4to. With a few minor emendations. The account, probably composed as well as written out by her sister Marie de Grasse, Lady Evans (d.1920), begins: 'Miss A de Grasse Stevens, the young and rising novelist, whose writings have given her a high position in England and America, is the youngest daughter of the late Samuel Stevens of Albany, N.Y.; who was one of the greatest Barristers, or Councillors at Law in America. His distinguished legal attainments made him prominent in the highest courts, and it was said that from the great causes he conducted the foundation of the Patent Law of the United States was largely owing. He was the life long friend of Daniel Webster, and with him was engaged, or opposed, in most of his great cases; which led Mr. Webster to say that he regarded Mr. Stevens, "as a lawyer first of any man living in the country."' After describing her antecedents, the author turns to the subject of the biography: 'Miss Stevens has travelled much abroad, and is highly accomplished. With her mother she has resided in London for the past ten years, surrounded by a wide circle of warm friends, & occupying a high social position. She is of medium height and slight, a blonde cendree, with gray-blue eyes, [.] Her working hours are from 10 to 3, every day; the afternoons and evenings being devoted to home or social pleasures. During her residence in London she has occupied the position of special art critic to the New York Times, where her initials "A de G S" must be known to a wide circle of readers. She is a constant contributor to the Saturday review, in which journal her descriptions of Old American Customs have called forth much interest and praise. She writes also for Time, the Womans World, the Argosy, and many other magazines and papers in England and America.' The author concludes with a description of her subject's books.

In good condition on lightly-aged paper. Addressed on reverse of second leaf, with postmark, to 'Mr L Ward Smith | Rochester | N.Y-'. The letter begins: 'My dear Ward | How affectionate & familiar a man is, when he is about to ask a favor. Now although such is the object of the present writing, yet I beg leave to assure you it is not the cause of my affection or familiarity. On the contrary my affection is the cause both of my familiarity & of my requesting of the favor which I am about to ask. | You know there are situations in which a man may be placed, that require all the preliminaries to be settled by a friend - now dont start - I am not about to fight a duel. To the end that you may fully comprehend the nature of the service with which I am about to task your kindness, I must disclose to you a verry [sic] great secret. I am to be married on the last tuesday of July next to the verry [sic] Dearest and best girl in the world - Miss Mary Frances Smith of your city - perhaps you know the young lady - If you do, I know you will approve of my choice, whatever you may think of her's.

The letter continues for another eleven lines in much the same tone. From the Evans papers.

1p., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Mr Silas O Smith | Rochester'. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir | During my short sojourn at your city last October, I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of your daughter. Since my return a correspondence has taken place between us in which she has given me permission to visit her & to entertain the hope that she may be persuaded to exchange the protection of the best of Parents for that of a husband. Should I be so fortunate as to obtain the sanction of those Parents to such a mesure | May I hope for the approbation & blessing of those Parents'. In a final paragraph he points out that his 'happiness is involved' in Smith's decision. From the papers of the couple's daughter Marie de Grasse, Lady Evans (d.1920), wife of Sir Francis Henry Evans (1840-1907).

Mary Frances Stevens was the daughter of Silas O. Smith of Rochester, and the mother of the novelist Augusta de Grasse Stevens (1852-1894) and of Marie de Grasse, Lady Evans (d.1920), wife of the English Liberal politician Sir Francis Henry Evans (1840-1907). After her husband's death in 1854 she married John Fowler Butterworth. The seven letters in this collection are closely and neatly written; those to her father in brown ink and those to her mother in blue. All seven in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Mrs Stevens writes in a vivacious and intelligent style, and the seven letters contain a mass of personal and family information. The extracts given below concentrate on public matters, including her description of the dinner party for Daniel Webster (Letter Two), and her meeting with former president Martin Van Buren (Letter Three). Letter One (to her mother): 27 August 1842. Addressed to 'Silas O. Smith. | Rochester. | N.Y. | For Mrs Smith.' 4pp., 4to. Signed 'Mary F: Stevens'. 'Mother you cannot tell how much I have to do and think of - in the course of the week we are to have a large dinner party - all the great men.' Letter Two (to her mother): 2 September 1844. Addressed to 'Mrs Smith | Care of Mr Silas O. Smith | Rochester | N.Y.' 3pp., 4to. Unsigned. 'When I wrote you last we were expecting the Hon Mr Webster, he arrived at noon on Monday and when I found myself to receive him, knowing that his comfort & enjoyment for the few coming days rested greatly upon me, thinking of his style of living, of the many luxuries that constantly surround him, and then of the great statesman, the man that I have ever respected for his wonderful mental capacities [.] He was quite ill when he arrived with influenza, which seized him at Springfield, his eyes were inflamed and swollen, and his whole appearance indicated a sad state [.] He went to his room immediately and took a light refreshment and did not leave his bed until our dinner was ready at six [.] a party of eight, and from that number they increased to twenty before they left the table. [.] While in the dining room a crowd gathered about our door (immense - not a spot within hearing distance that was not covered) and demanded with loud cheers the great man. He granted their request and made a short but powerful speech from our steps - he was then followed by Mr Stevens, who spoke with great effect [.] The speeches were followed by Whig songs and loud and repeated cheers for Webster and Stevens. I cannot express my feeling of pride. [.] This was the all eventful day - we were thronged with visitors from seven in the morning until eleven, when the procession formed and came up to escort Mr Webster to the place of meeting. Mr Stevens was president of the day and with Judge Berrian of Georgia and Mr Curtis joined the procession with music and emblematic banners from our door [.] Mr Webster held the crowd in silence for two hours, and then returned home much exhausted, and retired to his quite room'. Letter Three (to her mother): 19 September 1844. 4pp., 4to. Unsigned. 'We returned from Saratoga a week to day, our stay was pleasant but too gay for me there were six hundred at the house all the while we were there and there was food for the mind in studying the different persons and characters brought together in one mass. We found few friends and few acquaintances, still there was enough to engage my time. I found Judge Betts [Samuel Rossiter Betts (1786-1868)] of M.G. a very pleasant man. Also Dudley Field of N.Y. Do you know him? I have his name associated with you or Grand Pa very strongly in my mind. Chancellor Walworth was kind & attentive - Mr Van Beuren [sic, i.e. Martin Van Buren (1782-1862)] - the ex-President honored me by many attentions, but he preffered [sic] some one whose sentiments harmonized better with his own. There was a very gay party from the South [.] We heard the famous Borghese sing. I look upon it as a species of torture. May I be spared from any si.
