She began to distinguish herself as a writer about the year 1860 by her contributions to The Continental Monthly Magazine, of which her brother was the editor. During the Rebellion and while her brother was absent on a special mission intrusted to him by President Lincoln, Mrs. Cook edited and conducted the magazine. She also translated the life of Chopin from the original of Liszt, and before her death had been busily engaged in the translation of several Polish works, including those of the poet Krazinski.
