The Prat Sisters: Free Spirits of the 1890s

This is the last known letter to Annie from Bliss Carman, the original of which appears to be no longer extant. There may have been others later. A number of letters between Annie and Bliss have not survived.
Carman's letter refers to a book he has sent Annie, no doubt Songs from a Northern Garden, published in 1904. Annie later wrote, in a letter to William Inglis Morse, April 25, 1936, "You would have enjoyed seeing a model of B.C.'s canoe, The Red Swan...and a certain little book – Flower of the Rose – [written by Bliss Carman for Annie]... Then another copy – Songs from a Northern Garden, which poems were written for the most part in Wolfville, N.S."
Excerpt from Annie's letter printed by Morse in The Chronicle, no. 223, June 1936. Three items mentioned by Annie and The Chronicle are in the William Inglis Morse Collection, Dalhousie University Archives and Special Collections.
