THE TWO MISSES EDWARDS.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] Sin,—In a critique which appears in your impression of May 1 I regret to find that I am again confounded with the author of hitty, Dr. Jacob, &c.
I wrote the little book called Hand and Glove to which your
reviewer makes reference. It was one of my earliest stories, and I not only think your reviewer is right in supposing it to have been little read, but I am inclined now to believe that it deserves that fate.
Hand and Glove was preceded by two very juvenile effortsi.e., My Brother's 1Vife and The Ladder of Life. The book that made me best known to th, public was Barbara's History, published in 1864. This was followed in 1866 by Half a Million of Money; and I am now writing Debenham's Vow, which appears monthly in the columns of Good 1Vords. I am thus precise in going over the titles of these stories, in the hope that it may do something towards setting at rest this constantly recurring question of identity.
If, Sir, you will kindly print this letter in your next number, you will thereby confer an essential service and obligation upon
yours, &c., AMELIA B. EDWARDS.
