Plates are primarily aquatints and mezzotints executed by a variety pf artists and engravers; signed by artists: Russel [Russell], Opie, Reinagle, Perther, S. Edwards, Thornton and Henderson; and engravers: Caldwall, Burke, Ward, Elmes, Warner, Earlom, Lewis and Hopwood, Sutherland, Medland, Dunkarton, Stadler and Landseers. "Originally published in parts between 1799 and 1807; published in book form with additional material and plates in 1807"--ESTC. The work was first advertised in 1797, and seems to have been issued in parts at twenty-five shillings each between 1799 and 1807; no two copies are exactly alike as Thornton made up copies using different combinations of plates. Most plates with date and publishing information printed at bottom, others have date added in pencil; many plates are in 2nd (or later state) according to Grigson in Thornton's Temple of flora (1972) Plates are arranged in the order in which they appear in the original contents sheet.

Description An account of the resource Isaiah Lukens (1779-1846) was best known in his own day as a maker of town clocks, but his mechanical genius led him also into the manufacture of machine tools, mathematical and surgical instruments. His father made clocks (see example on first floor) and the son made the towering clock at the Athenaeum (Busch Reading Room). This portrait descended in the family of Franklin Williams along with a number of other Lukens items later donated by his widow in his memory. Charles Willson Peale is known to have painted Lukens (1816; Franklin Institute), but the Peale experts are not in agreement about which Peale did this painting; all agree it is a member of the family.

Title A name given to the resource Alexander Hamilton Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource J. Lanelli after Giuseppe Ceracchi Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1804 (circa) - 1810 (circa) Description An account of the resource Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) served as secretary and aide-de-camp to Washington during the American Revolution. After the war, he studied law and began a distinguished service in the new government. In 1789 he became the first United States Secretary of the Treasury and was instrumental in organizing the country's finances and in establishing a national bank. Hamilton died at the age of forty-seven from wounds suffered in a duel with his political opponent Aaron Burr. This plaster replica of Giuseppe Ceracchi's 1794 marble bust was made by Lanelli following Hamilton's tragic death. Ceracchi (b.1751), the renowned Roman sculptor, visited Philadelphia in 1791 and 1794. Here he modeled many of America's founding fathers, Washington, Jefferson, etc., in the guise of Roman emperors. The engraving of Hamilton on the US $10 bill is based upon the Ceracchi bust. Banished from Italy because of his liberal political views, Ceracchi was executed in Paris in 1801 after plotting to assassinate Napoleon. The bust was painted in 1955.

Title A name given to the resource Minerva Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George M. Miller Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1814 (circa) Description An account of the resource Hollow plaster cast of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, trade, the arts, and strategic warfare. The Romans identified her with the Greek goddess Athena. Although Minerva is often portrayed wearing a helmet, in this sculpture she is seen without a helmet; instead, a narrow band encircles the front top of her head, and her wavy tresses are gathered in the back. The bust was deposited at the Athenaeum in November of 1814 with several other plaster castings by the sculptor. When moving out of the American Philosophical Society (where the Athenaeum had been renting rooms) and into their own new building in 1847, the Athenaeum for some reason left the bust of Minerva behind. It was finally returned to the Athenaeum in 1961. Extent The size or duration of the resource. 20.25" H Medium The material or physical carrier of the resource.

Hopkinson Description An account of the resource Pair of mahogany Grecian side chairs, scroll back, saber legs, and Boulle inlay in cresting rail. These chairs are believed to have been made for Joseph Bonaparte's first home at Point Breeze near Bordentown, New Jersey, c. 1815. When the first Point Breeze burned in 1820, some of the furniture from the home was saved. It is believed that these two chairs were retrieved from the fire, as the forelegs on both chairs are charred on their back edges. The chairs were supposedly presented to Judge Hopkinson by Joseph Bonaparte, and they were presented to the Athenaeum by Miss Emily G. Hopkinson, who was one of Hopkinson's descendants.

Gift of Gertruda Vroom Brooks Lushington Description An account of the resource This fall front secretary desk is attributed to the French-born and trained cabinetmaker Michel Bouvier (1792-1874) who emigrated to Philadelphia after the collapse of the Empire in 1815. By 1819 he had established himself as a cabinetmaker, and in 1825 he was operating a "cabinet & sofa warehouse" on South Second Street, where he remained for more than thirty years. According to family tradition, Bouvier supplied this desk for Joseph Bonaparte (1768-1844) while superintending the building and furnishing of Bonaparte's home, "Point Breeze" near Bordentown, NJ on the Delaware River. It is believed that the desk later passed to Garret Dorset Wall (1783-1850), a New Jersey lawyer who handled Bonaparte's legal affairs. The desk descended to Wall's daughter, Maria Matilda (b. 1815), the wife of New Jersey Governor Peter Dumont Vroom (1791-1874), and it remained in the Vroom family until presented to the Athenaeum in 1961.

The statement may include a description of any changes successive custodians made to the resource. Gift of Major and Mrs. Coryndon Luxmoore. Description An account of the resource Born in the autumn of 1798, the younger of two daughters, Jane Caroline Armat was raised in the newly built family home of Loudon in Germantown, Philadelphia. By the age of 11, Jane and her sister Sara were left solely in the care of their grandparents following the death of their mother and father within just three years of each other. At the age of 21, in 1819, Jane married her cousin William Armatt with whom she had two daughters. It was in the early years of their marriage that the artist Henry Inman is believed to have painted this portrait of Jane. Inman, who had established himself as one of the prominent portraitists in New York City by 1829, was also credited with the first successful attempt of genre painting by an American-born artist. His somewhat Romanticised style is perhaps what first appealed to Jane when commissioning this portrait, however it is thought that Jane Caroline Armatt and Henry Inman were good friends too. Their friendship lasted long after the passing of William Armatt in 1822 as Inman is also attributed to painting two later portraits of Jane and her second husband, James Skerrett, an Athenaeum shareholder, after their marriage in 1825.

This technological innovation in ceramics manufacture, based on the technique used by French silversmith Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot (1763-1850), permitted more efficient assembly and greater flexibility of design. http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/7dfc9fa439cdb27456376c10823fae14.jpg 205ec2124e2934d49c7e21b2feac5dde Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em>, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

The expense of getting up a Work of any magnitude here is considerable - arising in a great degree from the heavy Advertising Duty. I have not however trusted to my own judgment but have shewn it to three of our first publishers without being able to make any arrangement - & now it would not be practicable, many copies having found their way to London. I have just received some from [Messers?] Cary & Lea. I should have felt much pleasure in informing you of a different result, & trust the want of success in the present instance will not deprive me of any subsequent favor With respect, I am Madam, Your Obed Servt John Miller Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em>, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document West Point Jan. 8. 1829 My dear Mother - I delayed writing [DE: during] till after the examination in order that I might give you some account of it and also of my station in my class. We have had a pretty severe and thorough examination as our class was very large. My sensations were not of the most agreeable kind when our section was marched into the examination hall where our fate was to be decided whether we should receive our warrants as cadets [DE: of] or be dismissed from the institution We were required to demonstrate on the black board the rules in Algebra and theroems [theorems] in Geometry [DE: besides;] and to answer innumerable questions. It required us little courage [DE: and] to go before the Academic Staff (who were mostly officers in the Army and therefore dressed in full uniform) to be examined. I was embarrassed a little at first but soon became more composed. There was nothing which served to render me calmer than the consciousness that in order to do well I must be perfectly composed. I believe that I [DE: did] succeded [succeeded] pretty well - did not miss any question in Algebra or Geometry; in French I did not write my sentence exactly right, one word I believe being wrong. My standing in Math. is fourteenth in French about the same. This is pretty good considering the size of the class yet I suppose you wold [would] wish it better. However there is time between this and the June examination to rise. I have on the whole [DE: g] obtained the standing I expected and I am happy. Indeed I do not think I can be more re One good proof of it is that I am not [DE: /] in the least home-sick I think of home it is true and of my good mother and little William, but not with the same feelings I had when [as?] a farmer among the rocks of N.H. You say that you have not resolved whether to get a midshipman's warrant for Horatio or to make him a Lawyer. There are two or three objections against his being a midshipman. One is that they do not get an education another that personal health and strength is required more than anything else. However If Horatio wishes to go to sea permit him rather than oppose his inclination I have written to him but have as yet received no answer. Give my love to him and William. Also remember me to my sisters. Your affec. Son D.E. Hale P.S. I have been vaccinated.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em>, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource.

When it came to hand I was just dressed to attend the centennial lecture at the "first church in this town, I went with you in my mind & I could but regret that you were not present to enjoy the intellectual treat that day offered us. When anything striking way presented to us in the early history of this "first church planted in America" illustrative of the simplicity of manners, firmness of faith & ardour of zeal of our worthy ancestors, I could but think how such a mind as yours would catch at the traits of character drawn forth by the peculiar circumstances. I presume that Mr Upham's lecture will be printed & that you will read it, but, if it strikes you favourably as an interesting production, it is impossible that you should feel that enthusiasm that you would have done to have been on the very spot were the little flock two hundred years before me [finance?] their church 2 offered up their prayers & praises. A short biography of several of the first Pastors was given in a concise, clear & interesting manner. The two of most interest to me were Roger Williams & Hugh Peters, Should have named the latter, first, as he was prior to Williams. Indeed Mrs Hale I wish not for fictitious tales of magnanimity, heroism or suffering for virtue's sake to awaken my sympathies when I can read or hear passages in the lives of such men - You will perceive my admiration of Mr Upham's eloquence & excuse (I hope) my prosing to you about it - It will be impossible my dear Madam that I can visit you in Boston as my recent long vacation must prevent my leaving town again soon, but you will be pleased to accept my thanks for your polite invitation. And now, will you not come to Salem unceremoniously! My sister & self will receive you most cordially - ss to time I hardly dare name that; as I know not what may be your engagements, yet this or next week week we shall depend upon seeing you. Perhaps it might be pleasant to you to spend a Sunday here - Would that I could promise you more of my attention than merely between school hours, but I will do my best. You must visit our museum & that will take one long half day, & if the weather is favourable you must see all our town & its delightful environs - I wish you were here tomorrow, for Wednesday afternoon is my holiday. In addition to my school of thirty two young Ladies I am myself a Spanish scholar, my teacher comes down from Boston & spends every Saturday & my class recite in the afternoon of that day - I will postpone naming my intelligence of Mrs Smith, as also my apology for not calling on you when I returned from [?], until I see you & hoping that that may be quite soon permit me to day I am your friend Ruth P. Morse - P.S. I find on looking over my note that in my haste in writing, I have left out half my words. I have broken the seal [?] give you our address, tell the stageman to leave Mrs Bowditch's Munroe Street - P.S. Seconde. Circumstances over which I could have no control prevented my mailing this until this morning, and now I conclude you are all inter[?] in commencement at Cambridge; however, Sister bids me give her love to you & say that she shall depend on seeing you on friday afternoon of this week, do not dsappoint us, if the weather [etc.] permits, we shall invite an arriving party to meet you - truly your friend R.P.

Text Any textual data included in the document Charlottesville (Albemarle Co.)Va. Aug. 27, 1829 To: Mrs. Sarah J. Hale. Dear Madam: - Your letter of July 16, has been received. I have delayed an answer until I was about to leave this place, for the purpose of trying my own perseverance in the steps which I am about to take - my inclinations & feelings prompting me to return to my "air home" and the scenes of my dearest recollections; but my ambition leading me into the uncertainties of adventure - whence either they may be crowned with success or defeated by misfortune. - My resolution is now fixed - and I am about to try a scheme which has engrossed my thoughts and inquiries for the last five months. -- On the 29th inst. I shall take the Southern Stage for Salisbury, N. Carolina; whether I remain there any considerable time is uncertain, but it is probable until a cool weather comes on; - when I may go South - if my "air castles" shall have then vanished - - - - It would have pleased me much to have been a [shorer?] in your visit home - To have seen my old friend and master -"Col. Boston" noosed in those silken fetters with which he has been so long dandling - May all good and kind Spirits watch over and bless him! I perfectly agree with you in your sentiments of his character and virtues. - His are kind & ardent feelings - too sensitive sometimes, for his own convenience, but always honest and honorable. I wish him success in his present undertakings - One thing only, have I against him - that of neglecting to answer a letter which I wrote him, while at [?]; but I have properly concluded that he has more important business and [?] calls than waiting upon me - that his opinion of me is by no means as favorable as I may have flattered myself - so adieu. I am pleased to notice the late [arranger?] - cuts of [?] Spectator. Mr. French I think manages his paper with taste & credit, and my old friend & companion Metcalf who finds an opportunity for the display of his genius & industry. It might be a good establishment in any other state than New Hampshire; for such is the competition that only a small profit can be realized from a newspaper establishment in that place, though it may yield there a good support. I am in hopes that Metcalf will succeed - he brings a good share of industry & good habits to the undertaking. - - - Mrs. [Forwith's?] remembrances, I believe, you put upon me for a quiz - but no matter - The friendship which I formed for Mrs. Forwith & family, while at Newport, I am now, and always shall be happy to remember, as well as for yourself, and many other of the good people, whom I have met "in days o' auld lang syne." - - - You ask me to "give you a description of the Virginia ladies - that you may publish it in the Magazine." Oh, no! I never perpetrated a line for the public eye, in all my life - nor can I now enter into a dissertation on a subject so intricate and presenting so many [?] varieties & changes as do these, the very sine qua non of all the perfection & loveliness. I cannot do this. Were I to make an effort I could not do them justice; for I have not had time and opportunity to know much of the real character of the people of Virginia - and much less will I meddle with that if the ladies! - - Since I have been here I have kept myself rather retired, as I felt myself a stranger among them and perceived the stifled prejudice of the people against "Yankees" - or northern people; yet I have often been invited to attend parties, et cetera. I have attended two cotillion parties, where I have met some very pretty ladies [ED: the following appears in red ink, written sideways on the page through the above text, and is difficult to read. Follows page 4, which references the red insert] and [low?] as any that I have ever seen - So that all is not [gossip?]! Yesterday towards evening, I returned having spent two days very pleasantly.

A wanderer." I look forward to the time, when I shall again meet you together [?] [?] [?] [?] -fondly [nothing?] [?] trusting to me [that?] happiness [at?] a [future?] time which will [do?] [for?] the present. Lo Adieu, dear reader - my grateful remembrances are ever yours - - - Roswell Elmer, Jr. ladies. I should not utter my real sentiments were I to say, that they exceeded in beauty & accomplishments the fair of my own state, & were I to speak against them I should do them an injustice. - They spend more of their time in dancing & visiting and less to study & to improvement of the mind than ladies of the same wealth in N.E. They make but a light matter of riding 15 miles on horseback to a dinner party (Indeed [they?] can ride no other way on account of the badness of the roads, and the bye paths in which they have to travel across plantations, [etc.]) The prettiest dancer that I have met among the ladies was Miss Randolph, a sister of Dr. Jeff. Randolph - she is the youngest of the family - about 17. She is not handsome, nor are any of the family. Mr. T.J. Randolph is a man of about 35 years of age, six feet two inches high & quite spare in form - His right arm is useless from a wound received from his brother-in-law (Fawcett who married his sister) with a dirk knife in a quarrel. Fawcett is a dissipated man, and becomes mad when intoxicated - His wife died four years since, and it is said by many to have been occasioned by his ill-treatment. Mr. Randopl is as much esteemed as any man in the county He lives at a beautiful residence called "Edgehill"(tho' not the scene of a no[ED: page damaged] that title, published in Richmond last season. The day before yesterday I took a ride down to Everettsville, about eight miles distant, to visit some friends with whom I had become acquainted there. I had an opportunity of seeing the plentious [harvest?] & every thing pertaining to a country life. - Col. Rodgers thinks his corn crop will amount to [7,500?] bushels & his wheat crop in proportion - Imagination can hardly conceive the beauty of [these?] luxurious [fields] of golden grain. I went about a mile & a half further to the plantation of Col. Lindsay where I stayed until the next evening. I had spent a day, before, with Col. L. and now came to bid him good bye for the last time perhaps! His hospitality I can never forget - To meet with the friendly & hospitable, in a land of strangers, is like the cheering rays of the noonday sun - dispelling the mist of sadness which dwells upon the mind of the wanderer. His farm consists of about eight hundred acres of land & fifteen negroes - and he is himself a practical [farmer?]. His house, two stories high tho' not large or splendid, but surrounded surrounded with beautiful shade trees. With an agreeable wife and family of six children - the oldest daughter of 17, just married. - I could not fail to be agreeably entertained. The house was not finished, or furnished with the splendid furniture which you meet in the houses of farmers of half the wealth in N. England; but every thing appears in a most rustic form. But still they live at their ease, - [DE: and] every thing [DE: must] being done by the servants. With regard to the employment of the ladies - they would be considered idle by the people of the north; But who would be industrious if they could do without exertion? Many of the ambitious middling class of people are industrious & in some measure follow the customs of the north - but the customs & habits are so fixed that they cannot well get along without falling into the modes of the majority.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston Oct 5, 1829 My dear Son, I was very much gratified by your last letter, more indeed than you can understand. You are yet ignorant of the fervent and engulfing affection which a parent feels for a child. The love of a mother, especially of a widowed mother, who enters her thoughts and builds her hopes of future earthly happiness only on the merit and success of her children is, of all human feelings, perhaps the most intense and exhaustless. I rejoice therefore for myself as well as you [DE: that] at your prospect of taking an honorable station in your class. Indeed I should been disappointed had you not been in the first section, at least, in one branch of study. I know your advantages of attending schools, academies [etc.?] have not been equal to what scolars [scholars] usually enjoy - but you have had an education that has fitted you to depend on yourself. you are familiar with studying alone, and that you will find no small benefit. Your course of study has but just commenced, and tho' you obtain a station in the first section you must not forget the price by which only it can be retained. Application (I understand there is no favoritism or shuffling allowed in the examinations at West Point. what a pity our Colleges are not on a similar rigid system) only can ensure you a continued elevation in your class. I need not tell you how anxious I am that you should be among the five. I believe you will endeavor to be; and there are but few things, among the possible, which determined industry and perseverance cannot achieve. You allude to Larnedd [Larned] as if you supposed I thought his marks of demerit were all incurred for moral offenses, or at least for mental dulness [dullness], or indolence. I had no such idea. I expected many, if not most, were incurred for neglect of military requirements. My son, I do not esteem such faults trivial. When he entered the Academy did he not agree to submit to the arrangements, and discipline which had been there established? It is not for the students to question the utility or the wisdom of those rules. [DE: ? ? have been] The rules were prepared by our legislators and experienced officers, they doubtless gave none which they considered would be "more honored in the breach than the observance." The strictness of discipline necessary to retain an army of men in proper [?]bor [?] requires that faults, which the civil law would hardly recognize as pecadillos [peccadilloes], should be punished as crimes. It was probably with the idea of imbuing the young men, who we considered as the future officers of our army, with somewhat of the precision of military etiquette that so much account is made of those trivial offenses. - And those who expect to command should first learn to obey. - I should be very sorry to have you incur marks of demerit for neglect of military duty- I should be more grieved if you failed in your recitations - but [DE: more] severe would be my regret should you be guilty of crime. In short, I am anxious to have you one of the first and best in all things. I had a safe journey to Newport, found all the children well - Horatio is in the printing office at [N.?] and boards with Mr.[?], Martha Ann & Sarah [ED: hole in paper] boarding with Mrs. Eds and will pas[?] the winter [?]nder [under] hers & Mr Edes' instruction. Little Willy I brought with me to Boston - I could not bear the separation longer. He has grown some, but his health is not very good. He says - 'Tell David I love him and want to see him very, very much. You must write to Horatio and your sisters, You can write to them all in one letter. They are anxious to have a letter from you. I shall send you newspapers occasionally, and the first opportunity some books. Write soon, and tell me how you get on in your studies. Do you have sufficient pay to support you?

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston Nov. 14, 1829 I have delayed writing you, my Son, with the hope that an opportunity would present by which I should be enabled to transmit you some books along with my letter. I have now the prospect of sending them the last of this month, but I feared you would think my silence was caused by illness or some unpleasant circumstance and so I cannot refrain till that time from giving you the pleasure of knowing I am very well. Your brothers and sisters are also in fine health. I heard from Newport yesterday. Martha Ann & Sarah have had the measles, but they have recovered and are happy as birds. M. gets on well in her Latin. Horatio is contented though he will think you are vastly favored in having such a snug seat at West Point with [the?] hope of gaining the honor or the first Institution in our country. Indeed, my dear son, I think you have a '[price?] put into your hands,' and I hope you are improving it. But why do you not write me oftener? You know how anxious I am to learn all that regards your course of studies and your progress. Do you attend at all to your Greek and Latin? I know the former is not much to your liking, and now you can omit it with impunity I fear you will. But recollect that your mother wishes you to be a scholar as well as a scientific and military student. I know that you cannot excel in all studies, that art is long and life short; but there will be intervals in which you may, by judicious improvement, obtain a knowledge of those languages that are, as it were, the interpreters of thoughts and sentiments that even now influence, buy sympathy, the wise and learned of every nation. Latin and Greek are study in every seminary throughout the world that professes to educate scholars- I wish those languages, or Latin at least, was made a necessary part of the studies at West Point - because I think the youn [young] men would then have the foundation of the acquisition of other languages permanently and systematically established. And in America gentlemen should be [DE: more] skilled in the modern languages – they ought to speak the French & Spanish, if no more, fluently. They may be sent on foreign missions - or they may wish to travel in Europe and if they did not they will meet with the men in are our own country who use those languages - and there is all South America where they would be necessary. But I need say no more, for I am sure you will not think your education complete while you can only speak one among all the dialects of the nation. I urge you more on this point because I know you are naturally more inclined to love mathematical studies and the pomp & circumstance of your military shows, than [?] and philological researches. Another branch of your duty which you do not yet wish, and chiefly because you will not make [ED: hole in page] familiar in writing to me. You will, I hope, for the future be more [?]. Tell me what your studies now are - when and how long are your vacations - who are your particular friends - describe their characteristics, their persons and dispositions as far as you understand them- and the good qualities for which you esteem them - and tell me have you been [vaccinated?]? There, I have given you subjects for half a dozen letters. [?], I must not forget to tell you of little Willy - dear creature, he is well and so happy! He always [?] your letter and says 'how I love brother David! when will he come to Boston.' Your affectionate Mother. Cadet David E. Hale West Point N. Y.

Text Any textual data included in the document West Point Nov 19. 1829 My dear Mother You wish me to write to you often. I shall endeavour for the future to comply with your request yet whenever I attempt to write I generally produce such puerile letters that I am ashamed to send them. I have actually been trying almost every day for this last month to write to you and have several times abandoned the attempt in despair. You say I must attend to the study of the dead languages, they have been dead to me for the last four months for I have not read a dozen lines in the Latin or Greek. Indeed I have but barely time sufficient to get Mathematical and French lessons. We are in the recitation rooms above four hours and Military duty [etc.] take up a great part of the time, thus we [?] have eight hours to study and read. There are but very few who get their lessons perfectly, that is, who can[DE: not] answer questions which [have?] any bearing on the lesson; and to do this they are obliged to consult other books on the subject in short they must know as much about it as their professors. Although I thought before I came here that I had studied hard yet I find the difficulty in the study of the languages is nothing in comparison with that of Mathematicks. In the former memory and very ordinary talents are required; in the later [DE: a] invention, a mind suited to the study, and above all industry. You wish me to write about my friends, their characters, [etc.] I rank Frank Vinton as the first not only because I became acquainted with him first, but also because he is the finest young man in the Academy. He stands fourth in the first class and is regarded as [being] [DE: ?] better acquainted with literature than any one in his class. He is my friend not so much for my sake alone as for yours, that is he likes me as the son of Mrs Hale Editress [etc.] therefore you are bound to think as highly of him as I do. He is the orator in the Dialectic Society. This Society is a sort of club among the Cadets intended to perfect the [them] in declamation writing [DE: ?] [etc.] your promise of sending some books is most agreeable to me. There is nothing I like so well as reading an entertaining book after laborious study. It gives me new relish for my studies. We shall begin Geometry next week. I never studied it you know, and therfore [therefore] cannot tell whether I shall succeed as well in it as I have done in Algebra. As you say you wish me to get a respectable standing in my class perhaps you will be glad to learn that I am in the first section in both French and Mathematicks. This last study study suits me better than the Latin though I shall devote my [DE: spare] spare time to it. I am glad to hear that my sisters are well and happy and that Horatio is contented. Give my love to William and tell him if he wishes to see a camp and real soldiers he must come here next summer with you. Your Son D.E.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Jan 31 1830 My dear Son - I wrote to you about the middle of December, and sent a packet of books by a gentleman going to New York, who engaged two forward them to you. In your letter of Jan - 8th - you do not mention them. I shall send you more when a good opportunity presents. If any one of your acquaintance visits Boston and you could let me know it I would [improve?] the chance and send "a volume or two - but till I hear you have rec'd those already sent I shall fear to trust any more to a [chance?] conveyance. I am glad to hear you have passed the examination so creditably - your station is about as I expected - tho' before you graduate I hope you will be able to stand higher. [DE; ?] The eminence that you can win fairly, honorably, by industry and your deportment should be your ambition - it is mine for you. - But then I shall never repine that others deservedly excel you, nor should you envy such.- We ought rather to rejoice that our country has many that are aiming at high attainments, and if our powers of mind do not allow us to win the first honor, we can cultivate the noble philanthropy which exults that is won by others. There is no spirit more to be dreaded than the meanness which would check the career of talents and genius because unable to keep pace with them. Next to seeing your name deservedly the first on the list of your class the greatest pleasure will be to know that you have vigorously striven and studied for it, and failed only because others were more worthy - and that you acquiesce in the decision with the feeling of admiration and love for those who have out-stripped you. - I am glad to hear you are so happy, - only, my Son, remember to retain the innocence of soul you now possess and cultivate your intellect, your reason - and you may always be happy. I have applied to the Secretary of the Navy to obtain a situation for Horatio but have not yet rec'd an answer. Horatio wishes to go - yet he will submit to do what I wish - and is now as busy as a bee at work in the printing press of Mr. French - Mr. Barton has just been to Newport, he writes me that Horatio sets the most correct proof of any one in the Office - and works nearly as fast - he has already [earned?] considerable by overwork, He is now, for the first [time?], learning the lesson of depending on himself. But then I shall not forget any [ED: hole in page] you. I shall do all I can - but you[r] sisters and little Willey must for the present be wholly dependent on me. Mr Edes and his wife write that the little girls are very good - they learn [?] - and William reads almost as much as you did when here last summer. He often wishes you were here to perform experiments for him. When you write your next letter do say a few words to him. It will please him so much - he always [?] your letters - and reads them over and over - he reads writing you know very well. Your Mother. Cadet David E. Hale West. Point N. York.

I have a great deal of leisure time at present as there is no military duties to attend to, and plane Geometry which we are studying is truly plain and easy. Something to read would therefore be very acceptable. Can you not if it is not too much trouble [DE: ?] send by the mail a Magazine or two regularly? The Museum or Casket which I suppose you receive. I would subscribe for several but Colonel Thayer will not allow the Cadets to take more than one at a time. I am undetermined what one to take but I think I should like the the Museum. Pray write what one you think best. You wrote something concerning jeaalousy [jealousy] and rivalry among classmates. The strict examinations and the standing in the class determined according to Merit in, our studies, would naturally lend one to suspect that some jealousy would arise among members of the same class. But is not allowed in this institution. If any cadet should show any he would be despised by the whole corps. No one however high he may stand in his class can presume to look down on any one below him.

I have not had a good opportunity to send you any books since I last wrote, nor do I think any will occur till the steamboats begin their trips. I have sent papers and one pamphlet, and now forward two others with this letter by a gentleman going to New York who will put them in the mail. The packet of books I sent were consigned to the care of Paul Spofford, Esq, he is a merchant under the firm of [Tighman?] Spofford & Co. - I think that is the firm. If any of the Cadets visit the city you can send by them to make enquiries respecting the gentleman. they will find his name in the Directory, and perhaps the books [are?] now in his care.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, June 4, 1830- My dear Son - I have not forgotten you, tho' I have seen all my others.- I wanted you at Newport very much, - and then I could have kept a "Thanksgiving" even without "pumpkin pie.' I found my children all well, and happy. Horatio is a fine boy - his conduct is an example for youth and I only wish I could assist him to obtain an education. He has relinquished the plan of entering the Navy. I do not feel satisfied with it - and he will now bend his energies to the obtaining an education and probably study Law. He will stay with Mr. French till September. Martha Ann and Josepha (we call her so now) I took with me to Keene and placed them under the care of Miss [Fiske?]. They are pretty girls and are improving finely. Wm. made the whole tour from Boston by the way of Portsmouth and [?] to Newport and Keene and then to Boston delighted with all he saw - but most delighted with the opportunity of seeing his sisters. He left them with much regret, tho' he was not willing to stay in Keene without me. He is now anticipating your visit, and asks me every day, when you will come to Boston. Have you any prospect of obtaining leave to come here this summer? I do not dare to anticipate it lest I should be disappointed. Have you seen Mr Watson? and have you rec'd a packet of books I sent by a Mr Johnson - a N.Y. merchant? I have not, of late sent you any papers. [one?] reason I have been absent, another I thought it was so near examination you would have little leisure for reading. I feel very anxious to have you pass the examination creditably, and have little doubt you will - but it is not probable you will, at this time, be among the "first five." - Your acquaintances and friends in Newport are all well. I saw Henry Baldwin he has grown finely, and is a very interesting youth. Mr & Mrs. Edes expressed much pleasure at your success, and many hopes for your prosperity. [Havey?] is working at his trade - and will be a money-making mechanic, I presume presume - for the love of money has always been his [lesson?]. Your aunt Sarah expresses very anxious desires to see you - and I believe she will be very much gratified if you can visit them in Keene. Should your leave of absence be of sufficient length to permit an excursion to Keene and time to spend a day or two there I will go with you, and then you will see your sisters. An engagement prevents me from filling the sheet. Wm. sends love. Your affection[ED: paper damaged] Mother Cadet David E. Hale West-Point N. York.

You are too visionary, - and you waste your time, and fritter away your present happiness repining that the past was not all sunshine, forgetting that every one without exception with whom you mingle have some causes of dissatisfaction.

Yet wisdom may be gathered from them, and happiness too, as easily as discontent. Of those who are left, without property, or [nil?] friends, at your age, how very few are so fortunate, or placed in such an eligible situation as I have obtained for you.

If you wish to be happy and beloved, be calm and kind when with your friends - and never treat a relative with less attention or deference than you would a stranger.

Perhaps, in French would satisfy her. I believe she is making good proficiency in her studies. - I expect Horatio this week he will spend a few days in Boston, and then accompany me to Keene.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em>, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource.

Willey goes with me, and I have about concluded to leave him there during the winter. He wants to live with his sisters so very much - and Miss [Fiske?] will take him into her family.

O, he is very happy to be with me - you know he has had to be away almost the whole time since your father's death. He is a fine boy - and I shall be very glad if I can manage to keep him for a year or two now, while his mind and morals are forming, and his habits of thought are taking the tendency which must affect his happiness for life. Next summer you will be here two months, and we will all go to Keene, and meet M. & S once more - if God permits; - and I shall see all my children together. I have published a little volume of poems for children and am daily engaged in the wearisome task of writing, writing - and you think it is a task, - don't you? - What will you write in your book?

But I send you papers [?] so I hope you do not think I forget you. Your sisters are well and improve finely. I think you will be much gratified with their appearance and manners when you meet. I am looking forward to the time with anticipations of much pleasure - but many months must intervene and how many circumstances may arise to damp all my hopes? Yet I am not of a melancholy mood - nor have I now any cause for desponding, tho', I am very lonely, at times, as you will understand when I tell you I left William at Keene to spend three months with his sisters. He wanted to [stay?] and they wanted him - and so I left him - but I do almost repent it. I should not have left him however, if I had been obliged to stay quite alone. but Horatio is with me; he will spend the winter here - he hopes longer - he works in the printing office of [Patricia?] [Newt?] - earns about three dollars per week, - and has two hours [DE: ?] each day for study, and two afternoons in a week. he attends the dancing school. He can pay all his expenses by his own industry, and still have some time for improvement - and he is delighted to live with me. He is an excellent scholar, and will, I hope have the means of obtaining an education - but he must struggle hard, as all who wrestle with fortune are compelled to do; the reward attending excellence in any department of science or literature, cannot be obtained without earnest exertion - and I do not repine that my children have to depend on themselves, but I shall feel humbled if they do not manfully strive for the prize. It is not for the poor triumph of excelling others I wish the success of my children, but that they [DE: will] may be qualified to assist others, and act their part in the drama of life with that noble elevation of sentiment and character which shall be worthy the high title of republican Americans. You have no doubt read with avidity the stirring news from France - and perhaps almost envied the heroes of the Polytechnic the brilliant opportunity they have had of distinguishing themselves - but you should reflect that to American example France is indebted for her liberal opinions, and that the greatest glory of freedom [ED: page torn] now rests undimmed on our own Ca[ED: page torn] - and remember too - that to preserve liberty is more glorious than to reconquer it - the former is a pedigree sustained - the latter whispers of the chain that has been [?] - the marks can never be entirely effaced.

Text Any textual data included in the document West Point March 14th My dear Mother - Your letter came with its usual black seal, that Seal whose colour is a token of grief to many, but of joy to me, as I know from whom it comes. You tell me not to think that Col. Thayer has done me any injustice. If entertaining such an idea, I applied myself less to my studies, I should indeed be wrong. But on the contrary I study more and harder. "Why should he," you ask - I will answer. In the first place, [I want?] 'a war' you were right in saying that he is impartial as it respects individuals, but I think he makes a distinction between those who enter to get a commission in the army and those who merely wish to obtain an education. The first can easily be distinguished by their attention to the minutia of the soldier, by their anxiety to keep free of reports [etc.] their great object is to graduate in the Artillery as the Artillery officers have good posts on the sea-coast and in cities, while the Infantry are stationed in the West far from all society. The first two in the class graduate in the Engrg. Corps the rest, to the fifteenth or thereabouts, in the Artillery, and the remainder of the class in the Infantry. Suppose that one who was intended for the army and who stood fifteenth do you think that Thayer would hesitate to give him the preferences to one who immediately above him had no desire for a commission and to whom therefore to graduate in the Artillery would be no object. He would not. The same would apply to all. But, you say that doing as well as others I must stand equally high in his estimation. This is the logic of affection, yet be assured that whatever I may think respecting this, I shall not cease as long as I am a son and have the feelings of one cease and relax in my endeavours to obtain [DE: so] a standing and education which shall be satisfactory to you and creditable to myself. Your Affectionate Son D.E. Hale P.S. I shall endeavour to write to my brother and sisters as soon as possible. 'Pour mes amusements', I read Rousseau, Voltaire, and am now drawing Titian's mistress. I have read Cooper's last novel and though I like it, think as you do that it is rather flat. D.E.

Text Any textual data included in the document Annapolis March 17th My dear Mother, You complain and justly too that I do not write often. The fact is that I do not like to write - I am ashamed that I have been unable to keep my promise to send you on my birth day $100, and have delayed writing till the end of March when I am sure to be able to send you at least $50. Besides your hopeful son has been for the last three months engaged in a continual round of fashionable dissipation. Balls, parties, Routes, [etc.] besides being in love two or three times and, 'don't mention it' near being jilted, that is if he had been fool enough to have proposed. The young ladies here are less learned & literary than those at the North but more beautiful and attractive. I have seen assembled here in one room at a gentlema's [gentleman's] house more beautiful girls than you can find in the whole city of Boston! They dont talk so much of books, news [etc.] but more of love, engagements, weddings courtship [etc.] they are not afraid to act either, and can set a man's heart on fire quicker than the cold, stiff reserved ladies of New England You ask me how I spent my [twentieth?] birth day not so pleasantly as you and my brother did with your friends certainly, I was riding in a class carriage on a cold day from Baltimore to Annapolis. I have been to Baltimore to sit on a Court Martial for a week and was returning in haste to be present at the Governors Route and a wedding party both of which were to take place on the same day. My necessary expenses had overrun my allowance about $30 and I had like a fool with some brother officers spent more in amusements [etc.] - I was thinking if "ways & means' and of you, of my promise and cursing my folly in spending what would have assisted my brother much in defraying college expenses. However I arrived at Annapolis, put in my uniform, when to the Route and party danced, looked gay, flirted with my old mistress, a beautiful girl in presence of her future husband, was sought after by the ladies as all young officers [DE: ?] are here, selected one to compensate me for my loss, drank more wine than I out to keep my spirits up, went home to bed, 'but I bitterly thought of the morrow' of debts unpaid [etc.] Pray Mother don't lecture me for as old Stapleton says "Human nature is human nature". But the gay season is now over, the Legislature is about to adjourn, the members are departing and carrying with them those whom business or pleasure brought to this City. One more cottillion [cotillion] party, one more wedding party which by the way, is for a brother officer & friend and the gaiety [DE: ?] ceases for the present and I shall settle down quietly to economise my time & money write to you once a week and be a good boy. - I do not intend to go home till I am at least twenty one, paid my debts got $500 in my pocket and be at least five higher on the [Army?] list. Then you may expect me. Promotion is rapid in our regiment; I have gained one step since I wrote you last. But there is a better thing [offers?] for me - It is this, and I don't wish you to mention even to Lt. F.A. Smith. A Topographical Corps is to be formed. It would have been formed at the last of [Congress?] session had it lasted longer as the bill had alread passed the Senate reading. Well, next year I shall get a furlough, [DE: ?] go to Washington and as everything in these times and under this blessed government goes by favor and influence of powerful friends, I shall get Woodbury or some one of the great men to forward my application & If I get in [then] I shall have the pay of a first Lieut. and have [ED: page damaged] opportunities of being employed at the same time on [?] good business as a Civil Engr than I could in any other situation. In [?] I shall have enough to do and in several ways in the West & elsewhere have a chance to make a fortune. I have now written you a long letter, - I shall write soon to Frances Ann - Give my love to my brothers - sisters and believe me truly Your affectionate Son D.E. Hale Lieut. U.S.A.

Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home.

Text Any textual data included in the document Fort Brooke Tampa Bay April 10th My dear Mother Did you ever expect to receive a letter from this out of the way place? If you look on the map, you will find that I am in the south-west part of Florida, cut off from all civilized folks. (the only communication being at rare intervals with N. Orleans). I wrote to you at Fort Doane (a hundred miles north-east from this place about the centre) of Florida.) Since [DE: that] then we crossed the Withlacolher [Withlacoochee] and marched to this place and a very [?] march it proved. The rear-guard (in which I was) were fired upon by the Indians at night after the main body had crossed. The balls passed within a few feet of me and whistled over our heads. (the first music of the kind I ever heard) We rushed back from the river to a breast work of logs, returned the fire & discharged a six pounder loaded with grape in the direction of the flash of their rifles which silenced them. After waiting their attack for half an hour our small body of about one hundred proceeded to cross, was again [ED: following text appears running along left side of page] The Other two forces before we met here have been attacked - had about 20 killed - wounded. The Indians lost two [DE: chifes] chiefs and about 20 [common?] men. [?] dragoons were dismounted as they could not cross on horseback [ED: sketch of locations of Indians, troops, swamps, etc.] fired upon but as our commdg officer did not think it necessary or possible to pursue the enemy in the dark, we finally went over & joined the main-body. We could not see them, but from the first volley, it was supposed that about 50 fired on us. None of our party were injured In fact, firing at night is almost useless, as a man cannot see the end of his musket to take aim. We then pursued an Indian trail for [DE: ?] a day, (discovered by the friendly Indians, twenty of whole we had with us. We [came?] up with the enemy about sunset, at the edge of a large prairie, after wading through ponds, swamps, [etc.] A few of the foremost Indians advanced from the woods at the opposite side and threw down their rifles & opened their arms (inviting a conference) our interpreter rode forward with a white flag and was told they would hold one with us the next morning, the Indian custom being never to hold a "talk" in the afternoon. Gen. Scott did not put much faith in them, but concluded to camp within a mile of them that night. The next [DE: ?] [morning] at sunrise we moved in two columns on the right and left, skirting the prairie. The right column being nearest them, was expected to receive the white flag from the Indians. Instead of that, we of the left column, heard first the yell of [?] savages three times repeated (as is their custom on commencing [?] fight) then the crack of a rifle, then a whole volley, [DE: ?] in a minute after the rolling discharge of the [musketry?] commenced echoing through the arches of the [brest?,] the charge of the [900?] regulars and volunteers, the hurrahs of the men; again the Indian yell & volley of rifles whose sound is very different from that of a musket. It was grand, sublime. We could see men advancing through the smoke, the Indians [DE: ?] running back from tree to tree, they rallied but once, then broke, keeping up the firing between. In the mean time we advancing in columns on the left of a [?] were saluted in the same way, the balls whistled, we formed line, charged, fired two volleys and found ourselves up to the middle of a bog of [sand?] an water, the thick brush before us prevented our seeing but a few Indians. The six pounder fired four [DE: and?] rounds of grape which drove the Indians out of the [DE: hummock?] hummock (as a thick grove of trees is called here) we moved forward through the [DE: the] most horrid cypress [swamp] I ever saw. On getting through, the Indians had fled and joined the body which was attacked by the right column as we could see by their 'trail.' That column was then a mile ahead of us, chasing the Indians at the full run. They met again, fought, and drove the Indians across the river. They swam it We were then recalled and the pursuit was abandoned as useless, by the General. The skirmish lasted from seven till [DE: ?] two o'clock, We [DE: lost] had four killed & eleven wounded. The Indian loss was not known as it is their practice to drag off their killed & wounded. We found the [DE: on] one dead body & pools of blood among the grass & palmettos. It was a new and painful sight to me to see men shot through the head rolling - gasping in the agonies of death. The first poor fellow we passed was a dragoon shot through the body, half stripped by the surgeon who was examining the wound (he died the next day). [DE: ?] I did not see the men in [our?] collumn [column] which were [DE: ?] shot as they were carried to the rear [DE: ?] We then put the killed & wounded in biers made of canvas on mens shoulders back to camp. We have seen no Indians since. The other two armies under Gen. Eustis & Col. Lindsay are making about 4000 or 5000 men. [ED: postmark] NEW ORLEANS APR 24 La. Mrs. S.J. Hale Boston Mass. We march in a few days for the [Withlacoochee] to fight the Indians said to be assembled there. If we get their women & children we shall end the war in a month but the general belief is that the volunteers will return home & we (the regulars) will stay all summer & resume the war next fall.

Text Any textual data included in the document Fort Doane April 26th My dear Mother - We reached this place last night having marched from Fort King in the morning, a distance of 22 miles with about 800 men under the command of Gen. Clinch. The Campaign is finished for this spring and we shall not commence operations till next November owing to the difficulty of acting during the sickly and rainy season which commences about the 1[st] or 10[th] of May. We have done nothing or worse than nothing for I think that our want of success must embolden the Indians to continue the war and to attack the settlements here during the summer. I wrote to you from Fort Brooke, Tampa Bay, by the way of New Orleans: As this letter may reach you first I will give you a short account of what we have done since we left this place a month since. We marched with a force of horse, foot, & two six pounders of about 2000 [men?]. We had 1800 [bayonets?] as the Adjutant informed me. Gen. [?] - Gen. Clinch were both with us. We crossed the Withlacochee after marching about 30 miles. Our rear guard was fired on at 10 o'clock at night by about 50 Indians. We struck their trail next day, left our baggage train under a guard of 300 men & made a forced march through swamps & thickets (called [hummocks?]) till we came up with the Indians at sunset. They were seen on the other side of an open prairie. We camped that night within a mile of them and marched against them next morning. The fired first a volley of about 100 or 150 rifles. We pursued them till they swam the river late in the afternoon. We lost 4 killed -11 wounded. Much blood was found & two dead Indians, we must have killed a number, but as their invariable practice is to carry off their dead at any risk we could not tell how many they lost. we then marched 20 miles on the sand to Tampa Bay & left a force of 300 volunteers under Maj. Cooper with orders to build a stockage and fight the Indians. He had 15 days provisions. We reached Tampa after [8?] day's; march [?] which is 120 miles from Fort Doane. We found Cool. Lindsay there with 900 men who had been operating within about 40 miles around Tampa. He had 4 killed & 16 wounded - had killed 20 Indians & a chief. Gen. Eustis was also there with 700 horse - [900?] foot - he had march from [St. Augustine?] through the Country without [DE: ?] meeting but a small part of [30?] Indians - had lost about the same number as we had (i.e. 4.k & 7.w.) and had done nothing but burn a village & take some cattle & kill a chief and a few Indians. The whole army of more than 4000 [?] at Tampa was re-organganised & sent off on the 14 April. Six hundred La. Volunteers south to Charlott's [Charlotte's] harbour, did nothing [DE: ?] as [their?] Time was out went back to N. [Carolina?]. - Gen. Eustis will [DE: ?] went south with Gen. [?] [DE: ?] [?] returned without meeting the enemy to St. Augustine & Col. Lindsay went on the road to Fort King reached the W. river & was met there by [6th?] Army under Gen. Clinch six days since which had returned back on the road we came & had relieved Maj. Cooper, who had been [stunned?] and fought to his heart's content. He ha [had] 14 days fighting with about 200 Indians he had sallied out twice killed 6 for certain & I have no doubt the the six pounder commanded by Lt Brooks (a Boston boy) did great execution. After leaving Col. Lindsay at the Withch. we went the same road passed over by Maj. Dade & afterwards by Gen. [Gerines?] who buried those [DE: ?] who were massacred. We saw their graves, the dead horses & [exam.?] the broken carriage of the six pounder - but the gun itself which was put at the head of the Officers' grave, had bee [been?] [carried] off by the Indians. We picked up many caps shot through, bullets, catridge [cartridge] boxes [etc?] relics of the bloody action. I saw the [DE: spot] places where the different officers were found as they fell [ED: page torn] was at the head of the column, was shot through the breast - and was found alive & sitting against a tree at the end of the first action by a sergeant who spoke to him. I have been informed of many interesting particulars of the fight which I have not room to mention. All the Officers & most of the men were scalped & three men alone escaped whom I have seen. When we arrived here we learnt that Gen. Clinch's plantation, (or Fort Doane) had been attacked by the Indians - cattle & horses & negroes carried off last night - McIntosh's plantation six miles from here was burned & [?] bales of cotton $5000 dollars worth of property. And this in the face of [?]00 men whom They knew we were within a day's march. It shows their boldness & discourages me completly [completely]; for I know that it will cause a large force to be stationed in the [Interior?] where it is sickly during the summer.

Text Any textual data included in the document Fort Dade June 18 My dear Mother - I have just received your letter of the 22 May. It is with deep despondency that I take up my pen to answer it. I have applied to [DE: Gen.] Gen. Jesup for a leave of Absence for four months, fully expecting to obtain it, but he has refused saying that the number of Officers in Florida is so reduced that the interest of the service requires that he should let none go unless in extreme cases, such [as?] sickness [etc.]. Now, I think it rank injustice. Furloughs are granted according to length of service & I have done as much duty as almost any officer in the regiment, and more than the majority of them. Furloughs have been given to several who have less claims. I wish I had never entered the army. If I had not been a young & lasy [lazy] fool I never should have [done?]. There have been instances of the grossest partiality, 1st Lt.[?] of my Regt. has been ordered twice to Florida, & has never been here. There are six or seven out of 18 first -Lieut. who have never been here in our Regiment. I wish I could get sick, but I am of such an intractable constitution that although I have taken no care of myself I can't get sick if I would. All this is very boyish, but I feel so provoked at the prospect before me that I can't help it. You can't conceive, no citizen who has lived peacably [peaceably] among his friends and fellow citizens, can imagine what a disgusting thing war is, even on so small a scale as the present. It induces in all, a perfect disregard for the rights & even lives of others even our friends. A Genl. or Superior Officer, cares no more for the lives of his men than so much chaff. It induces a recklessness concerning ourselves & our own interests, which is worse yet. Penned up in in small hot-pickets in the [summer?] & wading through swamps in the winter in pursuit of a gang of [bandits?], robbers, murderers & runaway negroes - I will think of it no longer. One thing I promise myself, that if I ever get out of Fl.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em>, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document Washington August 25 My dear Mother Here I am with my company engaged in the mob war. We started from Fort Severn about two weeks since at an hour's notice, being ordered by Gen. Macomb to go to Fort McHenry in consequence of the riots in Baltimore. We staid there three or four days liable to called out at any moment by the Mayor of B. There were two companies at Fort McHenry besides ours and four companies were expected from Old Point, but when the mayor announced that the city was quiet, the President countermanded the order to [DE: ?] embark. I arrived at Fort McHenry the night after so many houses had been destroyed - the mob was nearly quelled but a guard of two or three thousand men composed of militia and [firemen?] patrolled the city at night. The night we arrived an officer from Washington [came?] with an order from Head Quarters for one of the companies at the Fort to go to Washington to quell a mob there raised by the abolitionists - Off they started at 11 o'clock at night and three days after when all was quiet in Baltimore our company [?] them to Washington. We marched about fourteen miles and went in the Rail-road cars the remainder. We marched into Wn. City on Sunday the 16th afternoon. the Company was sent to the city Hall, and after dark 15 soldiers were put under my command to defend the U.S. Jail in which [?] Crandal [Crandall] and several others were confined. The mob had threatened his life and would have torn down the jail but for the presence of the troops. I had plenty of ball cartridges and orders from Gen. Macomb to fire if attacked by the mob. The next day we were quartered in the house formerly occupied by the French Minister Serrurier [Sérurier], built in the french style by Count [Dembuch?] where we have been ever since. The company have the large ball-room and I have a fine parlor with chambers ad libitum. The lord knows when we shall get back to Annapolis for the President swears we shall stay as long as one of the rioters remains free. He gave this answer to a deputation from the mecanicks of W. City requesting our removal as they sagely 'resolved' that they could defend themselves, and property a proof of their ability is shown in the [view?] of a [house?] not two roads from where we are quartered which was torn down before our troops reached the City. I saw the ruins of the splendid houses in Baltimore where the mob ruled the city completely [for?] two days. [DE: ?] The marble portico of [?] Johnson's house was lying in [ED: page torn] in the street, the house stripped of its furniture [ED: page torn] destroyed. Mr. Johnson came to Fort McHenry while [ED: page torn] were there for probation. [DE: ?] I have been busy and cannot tell you half the things I have seen, or [DE: ?] what has happened during the last fortnight. I had the honour of dining with [Chief?]: Gen. Macomb the other day was introduced to his pretty daughter Lavina and seen a great many of my friends, and those of my class here. The better order of citizens were glad to see us and have offered us every hospitality.

Text Any textual data included in the document Sept. My dear Mother I received your letter (in answer to one of mine written from Beaufort) with great pleasure. I am happy to find that I have been of some assistance to you & Horatio and believe me when I say that I do not wish my repayment for what I have sent or shall continue to send. I expect to receive $200 clear of all expenses at the end of December, if I should not get so much still, however I will send you $100 - 1st of January. I did not know the true value of money till I saw by your arrangement how much $30 or $40 would assist in maintaining my sister[s?]. In this expensive country at the cheapest boarding house I have to pay $30 a month which is less than the citizens pay as I have a room in the [Fort?]. Besides this, I do not receive so much as I did at Beaufort by $12 as I have no allowance in money for quarters here. I have only my base pay $64 pr month & $2 or $3 for fuel. But enough of this, it makes one sick to look at, or talk of, money now, when I think how thoughtlessly I spent it in Beaufort where I might have lived so cheaply. I wrote to you before I left Beaufort and again when I arrived at Ft Moultrie, remitting $20 by my last letter. Have you received my letter? I requested you to send my watch & four shirts if you could without inconvenience. However, on second thought, I will get my linen made here but I wish you would send the watch if you have an opportunity by one of the packets which run from Boston to Charleston. I believe I told you that I lost my books. I do not intend to purchase any more - they are so troublesome to carry about with me. I find Charleston very much like other cities, some of the streets remind me of Boston, but the appearance of the people, their manners & mode of living are very different from that of the good citizens of B. I have become acquainted with a few of the first families here, but the rancorous feeling of the majority towards the officers has not entirely subsided. Before the Nullification War when a large number of Officer & Troops were sent here to [overcome?] & subdue them if necessary. they were exceedingly polite & hospitable to all officers of the Army: used to send their carriages for them & almost compel the Officers to accept their invitations. But all this kind feeling vanished when they discovered that the Officers of the U.S. Army might be called to fight not for but against them. They are now polite but cold except a few who belong to the Union party or those whose feelings are superior to [DE: ?] [resentment] towards an officer who only performs his duty in obeying his superior by taking up arms either to quell a rebellion or to resist those whose madness would dissolve the Union. Now, vanity aside, I will tell you something about myself which may gratify you. A young married lady of my acquaintance told a brother officer that she thought I had one of the sweetest dispositions in the world. Either my temper must have changed very much or I must have obtained more command over it in appearance at least. I trust it is so, and I know that I have improved in knowledge of the world, the 'savoir faire' which is indespensable [indispensable] to a gentleman. Many of the customs of the South which at first appear singular to a New Englander after he becomes habituated to them, tend to improve him in manner and mode of thinking. His mind becomes more enlarged [ED: page torn] I shall not regret having been stationed [ED: page torn] short time at the South although it has proved more expensive than living at the North. I expect shortly to be transferred to the North for one Company of our Regiment has been already sent there and the whole will I hope go there in the course of a year - I have written you quite a long letter for me and I expect a long one from you in return. Give my respects to my friends in Boston & my love to my brothers & sisters. Your affectionate Son David E. Hale P.S. I would send something for Horatio, but I have been obliged to buy some furniture & have barely enough to pay my board.

Text Any textual data included in the document Annapolis Nov. 13th My dear Mother - I delayed writing to you as I was uncertain whether I should remain here this winter. I shall remain and study Engineering - - next Spring I shall go to Washington and get employed on Engr or Topographical duty, as several of my class have done, by which I shall obtain such a knowledge of Engr as will enable me to resign at any time and get rich, if I should take such a fancy. Besides, I get $30 per month extra pay. My expenses will be [DE: ?] more than at present, but any extra pay will more than recompense me. What do you think of my plan? If you want me to get rich and instead of sending you occasionaly [occasionally] a hundred dollars, to send you a thousand, this will be the time to decide. If I get employment in those Departments for three or four years and then resign I can make money as a Civil Engr. if I have health and strength. But I tell you frankly I would rather remain in the army, and if I pursue this plan which is the only one I should choose; it will entirely on your account and that of my brothers & sisters. I have never till lately known the want of money, or the value of it. I have studied law this summer but though I like it, I find that it takes too long a time, and has too many difficulties in the way of success. Promotion is very rapid in our Regt.; there have been two or three resignations since I wrote to you and more are counted on. If it goes on at this rate as I have reason to think it will, I shall be a first Lieut. in a year from this time There will be a bill introduced at this session of Congress for the increase of the pay of the Officers of the Army, similar to the one for the Navy sent in last year. It is thought that it will certainly pass as we have stronger reasons, and stronger friends than the Navy, and they succeeded. Why do you refer to Sarah Parker's engagement in every letter. I care more for the lovely Isabella than for her - she never in fact interested me - she is not to my taste. I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls since I left Boston that if she had struck my fancy I should have forgotten her by this time. Unfortunately I have not found youth, beauty, and riches united, till I find them I shall remain a bachelor and - Your affectionate Son D.E. Hale P.S. I shall certainly send you $70 by the 5th Jan. if not more. I cannot send it before as I do not receive my pay till the 31st Dec. It will reach you by the 5th or 6th Jan. Will that do?

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em>, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston JFeb 4th 18[31?] My dear son I have been waiting very anxiously for a letter from you - Why have you not written? Is it because you have not obtained the station in your class for which you hoped? Never be fearful of communicating to me your [?] any more than your successes- the former will sometimes occur, even when we use the greatest exertion- and if you do what you can I shall be satisfied. But you must write. I am always very anxious when the time has elapsed for your letters to arrive. I have sent you papers and pamphlets frequently - and mail with this letter & paper and [Willis'?] Magazine. Horatio is in good health and spirits - studying and working in the printing office and your sisters, and [Willey?] are in fine health at Keene. I shall go there in April and they will all return with me and spend a few weeks in Boston. If you have read the magazine I trust you find it much improved. I am going on with tolerable success and hope I shall have the privilege of visiting you at West Point in June, and that we shall then make a tour to the spring and Glens Falls. Mr. Kendrick Metcalf has been in Boston not long since. He came here to be married to Miss [Trask?], who used to board at [Dort.?] Megregory's. Mr. Metcalf is studying Divinity - will be an Episcopalian clergyman - He now resides in Dochester and is succeeding finely. He named you with much affection There is nothing of much interest to you that I now recollect transpired here of late - except it be that Master Burke is performing at the Fremont. [Horatio?] does not want to attend the theatre - he prefers to expend his money on books and his leisure in studying the languages. Have you read the Water Witch? by Cooper - it is a poor affair. When a good opportunity offers I shall send you a few books. Now, my dear son, answer this letter soon, and tell me all your affairs in which you think I shall be [interested] If Mr. Poe is at West Point will you say to him that I rec'd a poem from him and shall publish it when it is in season - which will be next summer, to [accord?] with the scene described. I like the article and have only delayed it to make it more appropriate. God bless you my son Your affectionate Mother Sarah J.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, April, 17 - 1831. My dear Son - I have been delaying my answer to your last, hoping to have more leisure - but engagements and duties are daily accumulating so I will give you a few hasty lines now, and by and by, a long letter of advice. You speak as tho' you did not care to obtain a commission - Is that your feeling? - and if so, what business or profession are you intending to pursue when you shall graduate? It is time now to decide - one half the time of your scholarship will soon expire. I expectd [expected] you would prefer a commission for a few years at least, and if you can graduate in the Artillery, and be stationed in one of the cities, you might have opportunities of improvement, and pursue studies which would fit you for a profession, ether [either] Law or Physic - while you held a commission I do not wish you to be confined to the army all your life, but I shall want you to reap some advantage from your education; and I do not see any better means than those I have suggested. But perhaps you have other plans. If so, I should like to hear them. You must bear in mind, that application, industry of some kind will be absolutely essential to you because you have no fortune on which to depend for the support of a single year. I hope in your next, you will be explicit, and let me know what dreams of the future are floating through your mind. Remember I ask industry; perseverance, and consistency if you - but I do not wish to dictate the manner in which these are to be exercised. Pure morals and an honorable heart, with the education you will possess, and the advantages of friends I hope to secure for you, will be a guarantee for happiness and certainly afford [facilities?] of success in the profession you shall prosecute with energy. I expect the little girls and Willey next week, on Monday. O, how glad I shall be - and now if you were here all my children would be together - and we would have a holy day. Well, next summer I hope to see you and your sisters together. Horatio is well and bookish as ever. Yours truly affectionate Sara J. Hale April 26 - My letter was mislaid and has thus been kept a hand till your sisters have reached Boston. They are in fine health - and now, [?] you here I should [?] all my children in my own parlor. - O, I have some news for you - Mr [Thayer?][Morten?] of the High School for boys, (private school) has taken Horatio to educate for the University free of Expense - Horatio commenced his studies yesterday - and Willey will stay in Boston & attend the same school.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston Nov. 6 1831. My dear Son I have made my visit at Keene Newport [etc.] and am now at leisure to enquire after your welfare. I had a pleasant journey, & accomplished what I designed - that is, sold the estate, paid your Uncle, and arranged my business nearly to my own satisfaction. Such are the [?]; now for the coloring. I went to Keene in [season?] to attend the examination at Miss Fiske's school: your sisters appeared very well, Martha is called on of the best scholars - & Josepha one of the happiest. I have permitted them to stay at Keene till next May. They are contented, & Miss Fiske very solicitous they should stay. I saw Elizabeth Wilson - she is a fair girl, but she needs a mother, or some lady to form her to habits of personal attention - had her dress been neat I should have called her lovely. I visited at Governor Dinsmoor's - and in the whole spent my time - 5 days, very pleasantly, except that it was a little over-burdened with calls [&?] compliments. Your Aunt was charming as ever, and seems to think highly of you. I hope her correspondence, (she said she intended corresponding with you regularly) will be continued, as you must derive both entertainment & instruction from her spirited & happy manner of sketching the world and its fashions. Mrs. Hale certainly [wears?] to me every semblance of sincere friendship - I have always distrusted her tho' - perhaps unjustly - but still I have seen that management (she is by nature formed for the brilliant theatre of a court, & has that fascination which would attract, and consequently be fond of attracting; [DE: what] this has a tendency to create a selfish spirit) which [DE: ?] made [DE: ?] me fear she could not be relied upon. Still she is a lovely and delightful woman, and I hope we shall always live on sisterly terms. I [DE: ?] feel much obliged for the favors she confers on my children - and [with?] hope it will be in my power to return the kindnesses to hers; and I hope you my son will pursue such a course as shall make your friendship of advantage to your cousins, & your character a source of pride to your Aunt. She will then be a most devoted friend to you, for her heart is formed for society, and she delights in displaying her taste and talent on those who can appreciate them. - I took Martha Ann with me to Newport to pass a week of the holidays - Josepha was to spend the time with her cousin Sarah. We found all our acquaintance at Newport as usual - engaged in cares for the body - scheming how to be rich & thinking themselves of much importance & their village one of the wonders of the world. It is wonderful what [?] people indulge who know but one way of living in the world, and one set of opinions & one form of ceremonies & customs. Well. we were welcomed very cordially I believe at Newport - Mrs. [ED: the next name appears upside down at bottom of page] Mrs Sara Baldwin in particular seemed very happy to see me. She is not very well, & I fear that she is seriously indisposed. [Hallet?] Cheney & Betsey Farnsworth have become [?] I did not see either of them - they were at school - but was told Betsey is a very interesting & intelligent young lady. Mrs. Edes was kind & good as ever, and Mr Edes as self-important & thrifty. He will be rich, if he lives a few years - but I do not envy their happiness. I had many enquiries to answer respecting you, and many good wishes for your success & regrets that you did not visit Newport last summer were expressed. I am glad you did not go. You have not yet attained sufficient self-control to stand the inquistive [inquisitive?] ordeal your manners & morals would there undergo, I saw, and it was with extreme regret, that you had thrown off as [?]less incumbrances, many of your early impressions of the necessity for that strict attention to morals & delicacy of feelings in which you were educated, & for which your example when a boy, was noted [&?] quoted. But tho' I regret this, I do not consider it as evidence [DE: that] of evil committed - or that you will become the slave of those follies you have heard described as pleasures. A few years, indeed the next two years, will, I feel confident, strengthen your character, and enable you to discriminate more justly than at present the value of virtue & knowledge & then your own good sense will teach you the right course, & your affection for your mother, & anxiety to promote her happiness & that of your brothers & sisters will induce you to pursue it, even tho' frequent occasions for self-denial may arise. When your [?] becomes firm in purpose, I shall be glad to have you visit your early acquaintances - the news & recollections will not be l[?]st in your heart; and I think the pleasures of seeing old familiar faces is hardly equaled by any fashionable gayeties. - I returned home by the way of Concord, found Mr Barton & lady well, saw Metcalf, as fat & merry as ever. Mr B. is doing well, & he appears much happier for being a [married?] man. [?] are in Boston again, and here at my table with all the unfinished labors of the month staring me in the face, you may well conclude, I have not leisure to say much of Boston & my literary plans - In my next I will give you these. Horatio is still in his labyrinth of languages, & Willey is happy as a bird - he sends 400 bushels of love to you. - Yours affectionately Sarah J. Hale. Cadet David E. Hale West-Point New York.

A happy New Year, - My dear Son; - how I wish I could express that wish to your ear instead of your eye. - I have not had a letter from you these several weeks. I hope you have not forgot the little parlor - (but I am in the larger one this winter) and mother, & brothers.- I had letters yesterday from your aunt Sarah, & your sisters - all well - Mrs. [?] says she has written you lately. - Have you heard of the death of your Uncle Enoch Hale? He is gone, poor man! and left a feeble wife, and two little children. How I pity her! I hear Enoch was doing very well in his Academy, and seemingly conquered the waywardness of his fortune, and just began to live - when he was summoned away. O, this life is a dream - a shadow. - My son, may God bless you with that wisdom which prepares to die as well as live. I have been quite in danger [DE: ?] from fire, tho' not of the poetic kind. The room over mine caught fire and burnt nearly thru the wall before it was discovered; and then we had a terrible inundation, I was more annoyed by the water than the fire to be sure. That was about 4 weeks ago; and Saturday eve the 24th Marsh & Capen's Bookstore was wholly destroyed. The fire [commenced?] about 1/2 past eleven. The papers were saved - but I lost some books, and about half M[?] for the Jan. number of the Magazine, which was in type, was all burned. I have to be very busy repairing the loss, but fear the number will be late after all. Marsh & Capen were insured nearly to the amount lost - and will commence business soon again. I hope it will not permanently injure the Magazine. Horatio is studious as ever - collecting all the old blank letter books he can lay his hands on that is, if he has money to purchase, which does not always happen. Willy grows more studious, & is a happy as a lark. O, I have lots of news - Elizabeth Ingalls is engaged to a merchant from N.Y. - a tall, whiskered [?] - one who looks very suitable for her tho - and is I believe a very fine man. Miss Board[?] is likewise engaged - her betrothed is a Mr. Wittemore, I presume Smith knows him. I cannot learn much to his advantage. He seems to be one of those common characters whom no one thinks of much importance, either for good or evil. However, the young lady doubtless thinks him a fine man. His father is a comb manufacturer - a man of some property, and lives genteelly. Dr. [Gregg?] & lady are well & happy - and my friend Mrs. [Sumer?], the Swedish lady has return to Boston, as lovely & good as ever. Miss [Foles?] still boards here - and the family is about the same. Your brothers send a load of love - Excuse this scribble, it is nearly 12 - and I should be sleepy were I am not writing to my dearest child. Sarah J Hale Cadet David E. Hale West-Point New York.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled <em>Northwood</em> in 1827. <em>Northwood</em> advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing <em>The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston</em>, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em> (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of <em>Godey’s Lady’s Book</em>, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource.

It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Jan. 18th 1832 - My dear Son - Your letter reached me last night, If you could know how much happiness your success gives me, you would think all your labor rewarded; for I am sure your best feelings are devoted to me, and my happiness. I was just going out to a party, a private concert, as your letter came, and during the whole evening I thought little of the music [or?] company. My heart was with you, picturing your joy, now that the agony was over and you had convinced not only others, but yourself, that success was in your power. I knew this, I knew you could conquer - but I have deeply feared that sense would prevail over reason, and that you would not make the trial [DE: ?] necessary to success with the enthusiasm which only can give the heart its full enjoyment in mental pursuits. I am now happy to say these fears are in a great measure removed. Blessed is the [?] won by honorable exertion - by our own self- devoted exertion. You have done more Then obtain the approbation of others - you feel satisfied with yourself. But you must know permit your efforts to be suspended or slackened. The studies on which you are about to enter, you say are "beautiful." Rely not on the pleasantness of the path. [De: You may lose] Time may be lost [DE: as much time] by lingering among flowers as well as brambles. Resolve to leave nothing which you can do to ensure success neglected, and you will succeed. God will prosper you! I feel assured of it, if you only "act well your part." The fatherless have more to encourage them to rely on a blessing from heaven than those who are rich in worldly friends. But those who do have to go forth into the arena of this selfish world relying on the blessing of heaven and their own efforts, should be very careful that their motives are pure. In this respect the poor have the advantage of the rich, because the former may put forth all their Strength from motives founded on the noble and praise-worthy wish to rise, that they may be more useful to their friends and to the world. And the poor are not necessarily exposed to the temptations of flatterers and the allurements of luxury. The prudence that their circumstances demands, instead of making them seem mean, will have the effect to give a manly & decided cast to the character. This may be accomplished, if the poor man is consistent, is true to himself. If he show the ability to rise, and the self-control which insures that he will rise. But nothing is more ridiculous than to see a youth [whose?] means of support must be of his own earning, devoting his thoughts to the pleasures which rich men enjoy. It entirely destroys his dignity of character, because he assumes what he cannot support. Go on, my Son, in the path you have entered, and which you can pursue with honor & advantage. Endeavor to excel and if you not gain all at which you aim the effect on your character will be most salutary. I will, the first opportunity, send you a [seal?] & [Willis' Poems?] which I have. We are very well - and Willey is studying bravely. You need not be troubled that you cannot obtain money for me - I hope to go on this year - and I must trust that Providence which has never forsaken me, for the future. Yours most affectionately.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Sept 16, 1832. My dear Son - I send five books, one copy with morocco back, which is the style we adopt when something more durable than paper is required, The price is $1.25 for the paper covered $1.38 for the morocco back. I would say to you, keep the money which these books will bring for yourself if I thought you needed it half as much as I do. My expenses increase faster than any income - but I do not wish to trouble you with perplexities and cares which you cannot prevent or assist. So I will only say that when you have disposed of the books you may send me 4 dollars of the amount. Horatio and William have returned from Keene, and Willey has entered the Latin School. He sends his love & Horatio also. I am glad to hear you are happy at your studies, no doubt of success if you study con amore. But how soon the time of emancipation is coming! quite too soon unless you are very determined in your own course of improvement. I wish you could attain for a few years a station at West Point as assistant in some of the [branches?]. Can you not? - I am tolerably successful in the magazine this year - and "Flora" sells exceedingly well. We shall soon publish a second edition. - I have concluded to take M. & J. from Keene this winter. Mrs. Boston wishes to have Josepha spend the winter with her at Concord, and Martha Ann will pass part of the time at Portsmouth, & part at Boston. You must write to your sisters soon.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Oct 16, 1832 /. My dear Son - Your letter enclosing the bills reached me safely. The money was very acceptable, but nothing in comparison with the kind and noble resolutions you express of future exertions. It was to awaken such feelings that I wrote. I have not wished to cloud your mind with the cares of the world, any further than [item necessity?] and your own improvement rendered indispensable. But you will soon be obliged to mingle in the world as a man. You must be armed to endure the shocks and resist the temptations. You must begin to calculate your course, to discriminate the objects of pursuit most worth your exertions. I trust I shall not be disappointed in my hopes that you will be a blessing and support to me and your sisters & young brother. Do not, however, imagine that I am suffering. It is true, I have many perplexities. How could it be otherwise! It is not a trifling thing to support five persons - and then the education of the children is every season increasing in expense. Still I manage to keep on. I have kind friends, and I labor hard, and am very prudent. I am now engaged on another work, which will, I hope be popular as "Flora," and if the Magazine continues next year as profitable as it has been this I shall meet my expenses. But you will feel that these uncertainties must often trouble me. Now with respect to your own plans. What do you wish to do when you graduate? It is time we begin to make calculations for that event, I named your becoming an assistant because I do so dread to have you stationed at the far West or the sickly South - and then you will be too young to be placed in a station of responsibility as an officer or at least, I should prefer to have you engaged in a less hazardous situation. You entered the Academy too early, & I was not sufficiently acquainted with the requisitions of the Institution. But this we cannot now help. The only course is to make the best we can of present circumstances. I have friends at Washington, & if my application can do any good towards procuring you a situation more consonant to your wishes and to the plans for future improvement which I hope you are forming, I will use all my endeavors to succeed. Now I wish you to reflect in the [hours?] before you. What can you hope for? What are you qualified to obtain? And what situation, of those you believe attainable, should you prefer? And why should you prefer it? Answer these questions in your next, and I we will consider the subject, and endeavor to assist you in the obtaining of the employment we shall, on the whole, think most beneficial. I should prefer the Civil Engineering to a station in the army for you. Dr Spurzheim the great German phrenologist is in Boston. I am delighted with his lectures, and hope you will have the privilege of hearing him. He will probably visit West Point. He is very popular here, and deserves to be, for he devotes his great talents to the cause of education & moral improvement. I [DE: am] have become personally acquainted with him - and feel it a high privilege. He pronounces Horatio's head to be very extraordinary [etc.] Yours affectionately S.J Hale PS. I shall go to N.H. next week, to Newport & Keene. Josepha is to spend the winter in Concord with her Aunt Barton - & Marthaann will be in Boston & Salem through the winter. H. & W. send much love. Wm has entered the public Latin School. - - [?] Cadet David E. Hale West-Point N York.

Henry Baldwin & William [Forsaith?] are both in Boston, working at the printer's trade. Do you wish you were with them? Your Aunt & family in Keene are well, and said much of you.

I will write to Woodbury, the Secy. of War - he is my friend, and if you have good recommendations from West Point, I trust we shall be successful. I am, just now, quite disposed to be melancholy.

The event has cast a gloom over our city, and it should - for he was a man devoted to doing good - and had he lived to make, as he intended the tour of our country, & lectured before the people, I feel confident his influence on education and social improvement would have been of inestimable value. - He is to be buried next Saturday - and everything which can testify the respect our citizens felt for his character & labors here will be done. Alas - how poor is human life - our hopes & wishes & schemes, how soon they end.

Hale is also the author of <em>Mary had a Little Lamb</em> and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England).

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston Nov. 21 - 1832 My ever dear Son - I feel fully assured that you will do what you resolve [?] than [DE: ?] opinions which would lead you into errors when you leave West-Point. I believe this because I think your early education can never be eradicated, that the good seed which was then sown will overcome all the tares (or most of them) which the world scatters. - Do you think I did not know that the hour of temptation would come? Indeed, my dear son, it was in reference to that my calculations were made. I kept you not only innocent but happy in that innocence that you might, when temptations should assail you, know from actual experience, that there was happiness to be enjoyed innocently. Do you think, if all the young men at West-Point had been trained as you were, kept from evil, not by rigid authority & punishment, but by pleasant studies and amusements at home, that there would be so many vicious - so many whom you find dangerous & disagreeable? O, no. The most dangerous & hopeless corruption of heart & morals is that which commences in early life - the earlier, the more desperate. But you, my dear Son, never can be like them. You may do wrong, but you will feel it is wrong, and you will yet, I trust, overcome all their temptations. I know you went to West Point too young. I regret it as much as you can - but I would hardly do otherwise. I had so many to support, and I could have the situation for you - and I so much wished to give you an education. And now we must endeavor to make the best of this, and I am sure you will. - I have just rec'd a letter from Miss Leslie. a paragraph I will copy. She says - "When at West-Point I sent for your Son that I might give him remembrances of you. [It?] gives me great pleasure to inform you that I heard Mr Hale spoken of in the highest terms by the professors as one of the most promising young men in the Institution, and that if he continues to apply himself as he has done & avoids being drawn into seditions & mutinies and other acts of insubordination, there is no doubt of his finishing his academic career in the most honorable manner and obtaining an excellent commission. Not that I had the slightest reason to think your son is the in the least [tinctured?] with a refractory spirit; but it does sometimes happen at West-Point that the bad boys get up something like a rebellion & persuade the good ones to join it, and the end is they are all dismissed without any reference to their previous good character, or the respectability of their connections." - There, I have given you the whole, because I wished to warn you of the necessity of being extremely prudent, and maintaining that independence in your own principles, which I know incline you to do right, that shall prevent you from joining any cabals of the idle & vicious or discontented. Do not permit any feeling of disappointment to sour your temper - go on steadily - you will succeed - The next year will give you an opportunity of availing yourself more of the miscellaneous knowledge you are acquired In your early reading. I have something more pleasant wherewith to conclude - Your Aunt Hale is now in Boston - she has been here about a week, leaves tomorrow. [She?] says she shall write you immediately after her [return?] has a letter begun - and so she will tell you all she saw [etc.?] She had her miniature [taken?] - a beautiful one it is - As soon as I have money to spare I intend to have mine taken for you. Horatio is well, and still busy at his Babel - Willy happy as a kitten - The girls well & all going as happily as I can wish. My own health is pretty good - only I am tired of writing as you will infer from this scrawl. Your friends here or mine, more properly, always enquire for you. Write soon - I will send you the Mirror - Yours affectionately Sarah J Hale Cadet David E. Hale West-Point N. York.

The statement may include a description of any changes successive custodians made to the resource. On permanent loan from the descendants of Augustus Wilson of Santiago de Cuba. Description An account of the resource When Napoleon died at St. Helena on May 5, 1821, his doctors -- Francis Burton and Francesco Antommarchi -- made a gypsum cast of his head. With the rehabilitation of the former French Emperor's reputation in the 1830s, Dr. Antommarchi produced plaster and bronze copies from the original death mask mold which he sold by subscription. Dr. Antommarchi later emigrated to Cuba where he met the young Philadelphia-born physician Richard Wilson to whom one of the plaster subscription masks was given. Dr. Wilson's son brought the mask to Philadelphia in the late 19th century and it descended through the Wilson family. Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon I)
