"GoD HELPING ME, WILL
WRITE"

In How Mrs. Stowe Wrote Uncle
Toms Cabin, by her son, Charles
Edward Stowe, and her grandson,
Lyman Beecher Stowe, in the April
McClure's, the following story is told
of how Mrs. Stoves inspiration to
write Uncle Toms Cabin came to
her:
Mrs. Stowe received letter after
letter from Mrs Edward Beecher and
other friends, picturing the heart
rending scenes that were the inevita.
bio results of the enforcement of this
inhuman law Fugitive Slave law.
Cities were better adapted than the
country to the work of capturing es-
capped slaves, and Boston, called the
Cradle of Liberty opened her doors
to slave-hunters.
Mrs. Edward Beecher, writing OF
this period TO Mrs Stoves youngest
son, says:
had been nourishing an anti
slavery spirit since Loveioy was muir
dered for publishing in his paper his
articles against slavery and intemper-
rnce, when our home wa in Illinois.
These terrible things that were going
on i'm Boston were we'll calculated to
rouse up this spirit. What can | do?'
| thought. Not much myself, but !
know one who can So l wrote sew
eral letters to your mother, telling
her of tho various heartrending
events caused by the enforcement of
the Fugitive-Slave Law. 1 remember
distinctly saying in one of them
Now, Hattie, If | could use a pen as
you can, would write something that
would make this whole nation feel
what an accursed thing slavery isl ,
"a daughter of Mrs. Stowe well
remembered her whole life long the
scene in the little parlor in Brunswick
when this letter was received and
read. Mrs. Stowe read it aloud to
the assembled family, and when she
came to the words, I would write
something that would make this whole
nation feel what an accursed thing
slavery is rising from her chair and
crushing the letter in her hand, she
exclaimed, with an expression on her
face that stamped itself permanently
on the minds of her children:
God helping. me, l will write
something. l will if l live!'"
