The letters mostly pertain to Brewster’s life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or Bridgeton, New Jersey. The two women, both originally from Philadelphia, were close friends. Their correspondence reflects this friendship, including many intimate discussions regarding abolitionists, love, men, politics, race and careers.

She is born to Maria Hampton and Francis Enoch Brewster. In the 1840s, Brewster and <a href="https://www.archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/1" title="Charlotte Cushman">Charlotte Cushman</a> meet in Philadelphia, where Cushman is manager of the Walnut Street Theatre. (Brewster's posthumous account of Cushman in Blackwood Magazine details their early time together.) Brewster's brother disapproves of their relationship, about which Brewster subsequently wonders in her diary "is such love wrong?" Cushman later supports Brewster in her decision to move to Rome, even though their relationship is never as intimate as in the 1840s (cf. Brewster's <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/248">article of 1878</a>). In July 1869, Brewster notes in her diary (ABP 3 4, 112) that she has "received delightful letters from Europe latley, from <a href="https://www.archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/2" title="Emma Stebbins">Emma Stebbins</a>, Charlotte Cushman at Rome [...] They all urge me to come abroad [...] She (C.C.) begs me to join her in England this October and journey to Rome with her.

Better people have, & can again starve, while Mrs. Brewster & such writers flourish like a [?] bay tree" (March 29, 1871) The <a href="In%20the 1860s, she is living in Bridgeton, NJ." target="_blank" rel="noopener">bulk of surviving letters from Anne Brewster</a> are to her partner Mary Howell. <a href="https://historyofknowledge.net/2020/02/12/gossip-in-the-archives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brewster's diary entry from June 1876</a> is one of the key sources for details about <a href="https://www.archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cushman's break-up with Matilda Hays in 1857</a>.
