The The Independent was a pre-civil war anti-slavery newspaper founded in 1848 by Henry C. Bowen, a businessman, journalist and philanthropist from Woodstock, Connecticut. Originally a Congregationalist journal, the The Independent became interdenominational and increasingly involved in political issues. It absorbed Harper's Weekly in 1916 and in 1923 relocated to Boston. Editors included Bowen, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and Assyriologist William Hayes Ward.
The Independent Editor's Correspondence consists of letters to and from the editor of the newspaper. Editors represented are Henry C. Bowen, John Eliot Bowen, and William Ward Hayes. Correspondents include jurist Joseph P. Bradley, poet Harriet McEwen Kimball, Portland mayor Neal Dow, and Irish MP Justin McCarthy. There is also a series of several chatty and personal letters, 1910-1913, from William Hayes Ward to a "Miss Chesebrough."
