Summary
Concerning the inspiration for the characters in her books ("In reply to your question I beg to say that some of the characters are taken from life, & some of the incidents. I do not think any of the principal children are taken from life, except Hell ... Ethel in Stumps, Miss Cordelia in For Old Sake's Sake, Jumbo, Rags and Tatters Nannie, are all real.").
