=======================
Alcott, Louisa M., p. 1550, i. Mrs. Eva Munson Smith, in her Woman in Sacred Song, 1885, p. 668, gives Miss Alcott's hymn, "A little kingdom I possess," and prints a note thereon from Miss Alcott, dated “Concord, Oct. 7, 1883," in which Miss Alcott says that this hymn is “the only hymn I ever wrote. It was composed at thirteen, and . . . still expresses my soul's desire." The hymn is in the Baptist School Hymnal, 1880, and others.
