Charles Jewett Jr |
Life |
Mother wished I could have an opportunity to read Uncle Tom's Cabin. I am reading it and like it very much.... I suppose that the Cristal Palace is in full operation now. I would like to see all its wonder, though I would pass them all, to see my home. CJ |

Joel Chandler Harris |
Life |
Harris reads Uncle Tom's Cabin: It made a vivid impression upon my mind. The real moral that Mrs Stowe's book teaches is that the realities of slavery, under the best and happiest conditions, possess a romantic beauty and tenderness all their own. |
