STOWE, Harriet Beecher (1811-1896). American author.
Autograph Letter Signed [to the Revd George Armstrong (1791-1857, Unitarian minister and anti-slavery worker)], 2 pages 8vo with envelope, Dunrobin Castle, 18 September 1856. Thanking Armstrong for his invitation and assuring him of her continued interest in and gratitude for his activities.

Armstrong was a supporter of the United British and American Slavery Abolition Society and, as such, a correspondent and admirer of Mrs Stowe.

'... We both of us rejoice in the success of the cause to which your invitation had reference. Our two countries have each an interest in what advances the interest of the other independent of the great [crossed out] consideration that the great cause of truth & righteousness is every where one. ...'

Mrs Stowe's visit to Dunrobin Castle, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, was a great success. In a letter to her husband, written the same day, she praises both the estate and its owners, and writes happily that '"Dred" is selling over here wonderfully'.
