When Mrs. Stowe called on President
Lincoln at the White House he seized her

long ago a well known post office official
expressed the opinion that IL Uncle

nails the war Of the rebellion would have
been deferred a long time.
In recountinS the Incidents and stating
tEe reasons which led TO the abolition of
slavery il would be difficult to exas-
eerate the role PLAYED by this remark

Toms Cabin" Thomas Wentworth Hig-

Why can't father be father and mother

Then maybe the home is just a woman

She has no sweet little baby OF her
