Letter from George Eggleston to Horatio Collins King

George Cary Eggleston, the editor of Hearth and Home, warns Horatio Collins King that a "story" he submitted may imply partisanship - a sensitive topic following the Civil War. "We have to decline" those stories "which may, even by implication, give a partisan color to our columns," as Eggleston explains. While Eggleston was a Confederate soldier during the Civil War, King served as an officer in the Union army.
