In 1872 a new and remunerative field of labor was opened to Mrs.
Stowe, and though it entailed a vast amount of weariness and hard
work, she entered it with her customary energy and enthusiasm. It
presented itself in the shape of an offer from the American Literary
(Lecture) Bureau of Boston to deliver a course of forty readings from
her own works in the principal cities of the New England States. The
offer was a liberal one, and Mrs. Stowe accepted it on condition that
the reading tour should be ended in time to allow her to go to her
Florida home in December. This being acceded to, she set forth and
gave her first reading in Bridgeport, Conn., on the evening of
September 19, 1872.
The following extracts from letters written to her husband while on
this reading tour throw some interesting gleams of light on the scenes
behind the curtain of the lecturer's platform.
