It makes you wonder about her - why was the scrapbook left behind? Did she have a family? Did her family know she was an aspiring writer? A great piece! Mary Lou Egan How touching this scrapbook is!

I'm glad Mary Horlbeck kept this scrapbook. I felt much empathy with her struggle as a writer. Thanks for posting these letters. I’m glad Mary Horlbeck kept this scrapbook.

I had begun to compile my own book of rejection letters when we found this in our basement. It was a great read and made me feel that I had a companion in my campaign. The book has a great object quality about it too. Even thought this was in a scrapbook I don't think that this was a sentimental book for her, I think this is how she kept track of what she sent to whom.
