Three autograph letters written and signed by American novelist, George Washington Cable, addressed to William J. Bok, "My dear Carey," and "Miss Tilda," as well as a black and white photograph of Cable. Two relate to his literature, informing Bok to print his third and concluding story as part of the Acadian series, and the third relays instructions to "Carey" concerning photograph proofs, all dating from 1887 to 1901.
