From the collection of Betty Anderson, legendary art director of publisher Knopf in the late 20th century as evidenced by her (small and unobtrusive) inventory number and signature on front paste down.

[The publication was delayed and the book was eventually issued at $17.95]); Sprigg evokes the everyday lives of women in eighteenth-century America, in the kitchen, in the parlor, on the farm, happy and unhappy, sick and well, old and young, with a freshness and immediacy that rise from the words of the women themselves; 4to; Signed by Author .
