[10] By a queer freak of circumstance, this account of Mrs. Stowe’s life is now being written on the very table that adorned her parlor at Walnut Hills. It is a beautiful piece of rosewood and mahogany veneer, in a quaint old pattern which is now so rare as to be highly valued by collectors. It must have been one of her household treasures. Together with the rest of her furniture, it was sold when the family moved to Maine.
[11] By west, she meant what was then to her the southwest, Kentucky, Missouri, etc., practically, the south.
