JILL: A VILLAGE STORY. Two 7-5/8" x 9-3/4" pages of AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT 
on two lined sheets of paper consisting of @300 words completely in 
Alcott's hand. In part: "'Jill goes wherever Jack does & he lets her. 
He's such a good-natured chap he can't say No.' 'To a girl,' shyly added 
one of the boys who had wished to borrow the red sled & been politely 
refused because Jill wanted it. 'He's the nicest boy in the world for he 
never gets mad,' said the timid young lady recalling the many times Jack 
had shielded her from the terrors which beset her path to school in the 
shape of cows, dogs, & boys who made faces & called her 'Fraid cat.'" 
Much more. Minor soiling, Near Fine. Housed in a Fine custom-made blue 
half-morocco slipcase with raised bands and gilt lettering on the spine.
