Henry Blake Fuller letters to Louise Lawrence Venus Washburn
Manuscripts
The Henry Blake Fuller letters consist primarily of letters from Henry Blake Fuller to Louise Lawrence Venus Washburn, a childhood friend in Chicago, from 1873 to before 1929.

Miscellaneous items in the collection include three photographs of Fuller and one of Washburn, a musical score to a song written by Fuller, eight fragments (one of which is a letter written in code), and printed material (mostly reviews of Fuller's work and that of other literary authors). Fuller's letters include correspondence written from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin; Boston, Massachusetts; and Chicago, Illinois; which describe the cities, social activities (including the 1893 Chicago Exposition), and his life and work. There are also detailed letters from Fuller's travels, primarily from his first two trips to Europe, in 1879 and 1883, but also from a trip to Northern Africa and later European trips. He describes his sightseeing, European architecture and art, a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore, and the work and stature of William Dean Howells (1837-1920) and Henry James (1843-1916).
