Letter from Sarah Orne Jewett to Edward Henry Clement

20 April [1896]

South Berwick. Maine.

Dear Mr. Clement

This poem of Mrs. Fields' seems to have been written on purpose for these new days of the old Greek games, so I have copied it from the volume of The Singing Shepherd hoping that you will find a place to reprint it. It might have a

word of 'healing'. I am so glad that the olive wreath was still used at the games instead of a modern symbol of it.

With very kind regards Yours sincerely S. O. Jewett
