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 Boston, JAN. 1. 1833. My dear Son, - I must write if merely to wish a happy new year. But I have such a host of letters to answer that each must be short. How does Nullification and the proclamation affect the young Graves at West Point? We hear that the S.C. cadets are all for state rights. But the Union has, I hope, many a staunch defender among you, Keep the stripes in their places, and the stars in their orbits, or we shall have "confusion worse confounded on our system. Mutual forbearance, concession & charity must be the order of the day. - I attended last evening an exhibition at Mr. Thayer's School - and send you a list of the exercises. You will find Horatio's name as writer & speaker. He has the first prize - a gold medal. Martha Ann & Willey are well & happy & send love & good wishes - & so does Horatio. He is so deep in study today he did not know how to write. God bless you, my son - and give you many years of happiness. Your affectionate Mother S.J. Hale Cadet David E. Hale West-Point N. York.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, April 20 - 1833 My dear Son - I have delayed writing you for the following reasons. Immediately on the receipt of your letter, I wrote to Gov. Woodbury (Secy. of the Navy) in order to interest him to procure you a situation in the "Civil Engr. Dep. - and I wanted to learn the result. I rec'd an answer about ten days since. He had applied to the Secy. of War, but was informed that there were no vacancies in the Civ. Eng. Dep. at present. Mr. Woodbury appeared [?] for you, and expressed the most kind & ready disposition to do all in his power for you. Accordingly I thought I might as well apply to him respecting your appointment in the Army - and I wrote to him for that purpose. Before my letter reached Washington he had departed on a tour to the South. One of the acting Secretaries politely wrote me, saying my letter had reached the office & should be handed to Mr. W. as soon as he returned. I do not know what effect this application will have, but I hope it may prove beneficial. I am desirous you should be stationed in N.E, if possible. Would it be of any effect if I should write to Col. Thayer? - Or is he so nearly being superseded that his favor is vain? - I shall go to Greenfield, Mass. the first or second week in May with your sisters, and leave them at the Seminary of Mr. Jones. I wish you could borrow the horse of [Pacolet?] and skim through the air, & visit us on the first of May. I expect your Aunt Sarah from Keene at that time, & all my children but you will be here, and we hope to be very happy. The Kembles are making a great sensation here. I have not yet seen them but think I shall go once, if your Aunt comes. - - My labors for the last ten or twelve weeks have been rather more severe than my health makes pleasant - but I have toiled hoping to earn enough extra (that is besides the magazine) to allow me to visit West-Point in June. I do hope to see you at the last examination. What time must I come? & how long will it be necessary to stay? The 2nd edition of Flora is printed - & I have a school book nearly ready for the Press. H. & W. send love. Yours affectionately SJ Hale Cadet David E. Hale West-Point N. York.

Your friend Mudge told Sarah B[?] that he had heard you were appointed to the 1st Reg. & stationed at Norfolk, Virginia. He was not in the same Reg. but expected to be stationed at the same place - there were eleven companies there, he said. How should you like this station? In some things it is very objectionable; and I almost wish you had a good appointment at some of the Western posts. But perhaps you will think otherwise. [Dubois?] has written, sent the note - [?] 4 dollars - and the reciept [receipt]. They say that they cannot alter the name on the duplicate but will ask Major [Picitt?] to do it. I have written them & sent [?]3 dollars; & hope to receive an answer that the name is altered soon. I sent your jacket by the stage - has it reached you? Horatio passed his examination with [DE: ?] much satisfaction to himself, and to his tutor, Mr. Pickering. He is now busy on Fiddler's Book, which I shall bring to Greenfield with me. Horatio will go two Sandwich Saturday next and stay three weeks - and then for his for years' of hard study. You'll not envy him this privilege I suppose. Pray write immediately, and tell me all about Greenfield, and yourself. Our family is very few & very dull, tho' Miss Bartlett still grants us the light of her countenance. I believe she intends making a visit in Boston or rather eking hers out for a month. - I hope to be in Greenfield the last of next week, - if nothing happens - yet, I do not know how to spend the time. - My love to daughters & Willey - say, I hope to see them all soon, & find them happy and improved. If they need anything which I can bring them you must name it in yr. letter. My love also to Mrs. D. & daughters - I suppose you feel quite domesticated under her roof by this time. - I cannot recollect much news that will interest you. - Miss Leslie has called here several times, & always enquires after your welfare. - I have drank tea with Mr. N. Hale, lately, and Mr. Hale was very profuse in his wishes to see you on your return to Boston. He is one of the chief agents in the [railroad?] company, & says there are many [thing?] which he things [thinks?] will interest you [ED: page torn] their proceedings. The Engineer employed is from West-Point - I forgot his name. I have a great many things to do in order to be ready for my journey, so you know that this letter is quite a hurried production.

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 Nov. 7th 1833 My dear Mother I have just received your letter and Heaven knows how much pleasure it gave me I wrote two or three days since and perhaps my disappointment at not receiving any letter from you made me express myself too strongly. I hope you will receive this before your write. I am very happy to hear that Mrs. Du Pre is with you, I know how agreeable her company must be to you. I am much obliged for the list of furniture perhaps, I may send for one or two articles, at present I have got what I want, which has cost me about $30. I wish you would describe the Secretary, is it merely a chest of drawers or bureau. With respect to the gold patent lever watch I understood you to say that you could get me one when I am twenty one, if you could get it now as easily [DE: It] it would be of more service to me. If you cannot, perhaps I can save $100 in six months to buy one myself. Pray inform me. I cannot describe this place so as to give you a good idea of it as you have never seen a [southern?] town. Imagine, however, a level sandy country as the seashore, with a large number of buildings mostly old arranged along broad and regular streets of which but one or two are paved. In the street parallel with the shore, in a two story wooden building, in a room fronting the sea, lives your hopeful son. I have the warmest room in Beaufort, though that is not a great recommendation here as now in November it is like August with you. I had a fine journey, good weather all the time I went in the steam-boat from N. York to Philadelphia saw some of my classmates at Phila. saw all the lions the Bank, the Mint where they made money faster than I ever shall - Girards Bank, and the Girard square a splendid row of buildings. Went to [Baltimore] in the boat, and on the rail-road. Saw Washington's Monument, the ballon [balloon?] go up, the beautiful women [etc.] to Norfolk where I passed a day, the warmest I ever felt - saw Rufus King at Old Point Comfort, the large ships of war I Had a fine ride through Dismal Swamp to Elizabeth City, from there in a boat to Newbern On the way the boiler broke and we remained [three?] hours stationary in Albemarle Sound. I got safe to Newbern, & remained there a day waiting for the [stage?] arrived at B. on the 1st Oct. I study Spanish, read, drill the Company alone at Artillery drill - act as [?] Quartermaster - ride like the D-l on horseback - drink the Major's Champaigne [Champagne] - play cards with him & his wife - and want nothing but home the pretty N. England girls - and a watch. I am glad to hear that Horatio succeeds so well. I will pay him one hundred at the end of each year with much pleasure. This is a chap [cheap?] place and for the present it is the best for me I pay $15 per month for my board and servant a negro boy. I do not want books at present, but if you have an opportunity to send I think I should like 'England & the English' & the 'Headman' by Cooper - My love to Mrs. Du Pré, tell her that if she will go to Charleston I will pay her a visit. My love to Miss [S.?] Parker to the Misses Bowditch if you see them & my very best love to Isabella [DE: ?] - Tell Horatio he may [ED: page torn] [ED: page torn] welcome, if I don't have to pay [ED: page torn] before six months he shall have $50, in March. [ED: page torn] I wish your next letter to be as long, & to come sooner than your last. I send twenty dollars. Your affectionate Son David E. Hale P.S. Without you have good reason & without it be very convenient to you, do not seperate [separate] my sisters. I do not think it beneficial to young girls to be sent to strange places or to be educated from home. It may do for boys though I was injured by it- D.E.H.

Text Any textual data included in the document I am glad, My dear [?], that you can account so satisfactorily for your silence - yet seven months was a long while for us wonder in - not too long however for you if thoughts of your Sisters & of home brought back feelings that contrasted painfully with the confinement of your studies & made the discipline of West Point appear more irksome. I rejoice that you have determined to excel, - nothing more is necessary but to persevere - You have a motive that must be constantly stimulating you in the knowledge that your Mother & Sisters are expecting much from you & that the influence of your example is all important to your younger brothers - this alone I should think would prevent you being a [cipher?] in the world - besides in our country a man can hardly be respectable let his fortune be what it will, without possessing some kind of talent that might render him independent & useful - There never will be a class of idle and luxurious gentlemen here, I think - Did you ever read the Castle of Indolence? - It is sixteen years since I read it - but I copied in my common place book some extracts for my own benefit, which at the risk of you thinking I have more than a slight tinge of azure & my "familiar letter is like a book" I shall transcribe for you -- Industry is addressing the sons of Indolence, & says "It was not by vile loitering in ease That Greece obtained the brighter palm of art That soft yet ardent Athens learn'd to please, To [Too] keen the wit & to [too] sublime the heart, In all supreme! complete in every part! It was not thence majestic Rome arose And o'er the nations shook her conquering dart; For sluggards brow the laurel never grows; Renown is not the child of indolent repose. But should to fame your hearts unfeeling be, If right I read you please all require; Then hear how best may be obtained this fee, How best enjoyed this natures wide desire. Toil & be glad! [let] industry inspire Into your quicken'd limbs her buoyant breath! Who does not act is dead. - Would you then learn to dissipate the band of the huge [threatening] difficulties dire - - that mans Soul appall and damp his rising fire? Resolve, Resolve, & to be men aspire Exert that noblest privilege, alone Here to mankind indulg'd, controul [control] desire! Let godlike Reason from her sovreign [sovereign] throne Speak the commanding words - I will - and it is done." There now - new and [ripe?] for copying this, buy committing it to memory, & let "I Will" be your motto - I wont bore you with any more lectures, only dont read Bulwers novels & Byrons poetry - even tho' you are clear sighted enough to perceive that their influence is not healthy - you are moved by them you acknowledge - & in all cases of contagion the most susceptible are the surest victims to this exposure - - How amused I was at [Corrinnas?] graphic & humourous description of the influence of Eugene Aram over her [brother?] G- - but with "the amusing incident that occured [occurred] at your ball" I shall leave it to the imagination! - Martha Ann spent the vacation in Boston, while Josepha remained with 'cousin Sarah' William also is here now & we expect will spend some time with us -- Miss Fiskes school is filled to overflowing -- Miss Wittington is as pretty as ever - Time touches not that tiny amaranth - her bright eyes have charmed him, I suspect - Miss Kent - Oh! why would you not like Miss Kent? - by the way speaking of likes - how uncourteous of you not to say one word of your faithful admirer Miss Dawes - - so constant in her enquiries & her admiration of my hopeful Nephew - [D.F.?] is still at Miss Fiskes - sweet, lovely & pensive - Elizabeth - Oh! I pity Elizabeth - because she has no female protection - She has kind & affectionate feelings & all the [materil?] [material] for a very superior woman - she may make one yet - but her Father is old & peevish & [iritable?] [irritable] & tyrannical - but then he is her Father - Now dont be romantic enough to think of Elizabeth to the exclusion of "divine philosophy" -- Remember "The man who would thrive in his art must keep the girls away from his heart" If I do not stop writing I shall quote my whole store of nursery rhymes & quite shock your fastidiousness but in sober prose without any rhyme but with much reason believe me your affectionate Aunt SK Hale P.S- It has just occurred to me why there is such a quantity of verse in my letter - I have been writing with the girls of a swan; - but it has lost all the dignity & grace that it had upon the water, it even was a most [DE: ?] ungraceful bird up[ED: page damaged] land you know. - Miss Ware enquires in one of her letters "[ED: page damaged] the swan was consecrated to Apollo & so celebrated by the [ED: page damaged] for his song - when in fact it is a most unmusical bird?" We looked over numerous bulky volumes to find a satisfactory reason - Have you ever met any thing in your french mythology upon the subject? - Speaking of Miss Ware makes me think of the pretty new teacher who has just arrived at Miss Fiske's - only seventeen - understands a thousand & one languages - executes difficult Italian music - has a pretty fairy like figure - a sunny blue eye & a complexion like a sweet pea - & her name is Anna - not "[Commenci]"-(How classical that would be) but [Maria?] - Oh! that is far more sentimental - - - I have just seen her - while writing my letter, & have decided that she is pretty - very - front view -- but much to my mortification she has a bad profile, for therein she is said to resemble one whom it is impolite to talk about - but who is like her sex in putting the essence of the letter in the postscript when she send the love of Martha & Josepha to their dear Brother. - Cadet D.E.

Description An account of the resource Thomas Ustick Walter is widely recognized as the leading American architect of the mid-nineteenth century. Born in Philadelphia, Walter's many buildings here include Moyamensing Prison, Girard College, Andalusia and Portico Row. He is best remembered as the architect of the dome and wings of the United States Capitol-the most symbolically important and controversial building in the United States. Late in life he made major contributions to the design and decoration of the Philadelphia City Hall. This portrait of the architect shows him at the start of his prolific career. Behind him are visible a fluted column at Girard College and a distant view of the Philadelphia County Prison at Moyamensing. Both were under construction when the portrait was completed.

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 March - 2d - 1835 I recieved [received] your packet with its enclosure for Miss [Martineau] & Wherein an accompany note from the [Mr?] Smith under whose name the packet was sent, requesting me to inform you that he had conscientious scruples about franking & begged particularly, as he was no acquaintance of yours, that you would not again enclose any thing to him. I own I felt so very disagreeable that I partly determined never to trouble any gentleman in the same way - although in this case innocent of an offence - Your package for Miss M. - I committed to Mr Calhoun's care, who expects to meet her at Charlestown - It could not be directed to her on her journey thither, as it was impossible to know at what stage it might find her - I was very much pleased with this celebrated woman, who seems to be unspoiled by the flattering distinctions lavished on her - I had a great deal of interesting conversation with her & on the whole recieved [received] so favorable an impression, that I was induced to address her in a [partial?] epistle which if you take the National Intelligencer you have probably seen - it appeared the 7th February & as I see [DE: by your last?] you sometimes publish in your Magazine sketches from other periodicals You may perhaps think this worth a republication - I hope no one will take your extract from a letter from Washington, for mine - certainly the person who wrote it - could not have known but only seen Miss M. - I do not like the idea of publishing an account of our social intercourse with even public characters Such a habit must destroy the ease & confidence of intimate society - After the lapse of many years such, or the death of such personages when these [reminiscences] become somewhat historical - it is a different thing. [DE: but ?] I saw a great deal of Miss M. while she was here & shall enter in my book of reminiscences some of the delightful conversations I enjoyed with her - but should feel it unjustifiable in making any such communications now. I found none of the difficulty your correspondent describes in the use of her elastictube - After a minute or two I forgot it in the interest of the subjects on which we conversed & in a carriage she does not require it, but hears distinctly - her visit has furnished an agreeable episode to the regular story of every day life - [DE: ?] leaves on my mind most agreeable impressions. I read your report of the Seamen's [?] Society & am happy, there to find my own sentiments on charity, so ably expressed - But many really good people; will still adhere to the system of gratuitous [? ?], nor is it possible to make them comprehend that by giving to all & any who are destitute, that you & education are the only effectual means of improving the condition of the poor. We have here two [Womens?] societies - The ladies meet & make up the clothes - the original design, was to give them only to such as were too old or too sick to work for themselves Those are extreme cases which seldom occur, as there are few old people who have not some relation, who could & ought to work for [them?]. & of course hundreds & hundreds of garments are given & thereby a [?] opened to indolence - I cannot persuade them, it would be doing more good, to pay poor women for making [these?] garments - There is a pleasure in having meetings - very seducing to females who have little to do at home & who have no other opportunity of meeting ladies of a different class of society - I have [perceived?] all [these?] working societies are very apt to degenerate into gossiping ones - Reading aloud has been ineffectually attempted - the cutting out & fitting of work [etc.] & - interrupts it. I was agreeably interrupted in this letter by a visit from Mr. Jacob Abbot - I regret the shortness of his visit will prevent his passing an evening with us - I intended sending this letter by him - but could not finish it yesterday. I shall give it in charge to Mr Thatcher, who is to [?] this evening - I have seen very little of him, as he has been confined to the [house?] by indisposition - I have not heard of your son's being in our City - I hope he has not been here with out calling - I am just recovering from a very severe cold & expect in the course of three weeks to return to the country. Yours Madam, with the kindest wishes. M.H. Smith I will thank you by the first private & safe opportunity to return such [articles?] of mine as you do not intend publishing - [wither?] printed or mss.

I am glad to hear that you enjoy good health and Spirits and that my brothers & sisters are well - For myself I am sick and feel indisposed to write my aunt and sisters at present I shall be able to send you $50 before the end of next week I am sorry that I cannot make it a hundred, but my debts require payment and it is so difficult for me to economize though I try my best, that my months pay slips away the moment it is received. I thought when I entered the army that I should be able to save $400 per annum for you and Horatio but I find it impossible I am resolved to be out of debt before I am twenty one. In three years from that time at the farthest I expect to be promoted a first Lieut, from the rapidity of promotions in our Regt. There will be four vacancies before the end of the year certainly which will put me half way up the list of 2nd Lts. My pay as a first Lt. will vary from $1100 to $1400 - which will enable me to save from $300 to $500 per annum. I think it would be best to put William in business as a merchant. I have no doubt that he will be the richest and happiest of us all. Give Horatio books, fame, and the means of subsistence and he will never want more of money For myself I shall [DE: ?] remain in the army a bachelor for life - Give my love to my brothers and my respects to the ladies of my acquaintance in Boston who inquire for me.

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.

Patterson Description An account of the resource This handsome chair descended through the family of its maker, French émigré cabinetmaker Michel Bouvier (1792-1874). The chair is unusual for its slip-in upholstered scrolled back and scrolled arms which terminate in carved eagle heads. The arms have the horizontal forward thrust of earlier French models and show the slight curve which was then coming into vogue. The legs mark the reintroduction of the cabriole form. The chair was restored and reupholstered in black horsehair--a popular upholstery material in the nineteenth century--as suggested by surviving fragments discovered under later upholstery.

However, I will now commence by wishing you a happy New Year, and many returns of it, (as an Irishman would say).

Text Any textual data included in the document Philada Jany 12th 1836- My dear Mrs Hale Having engaged with Messrs Carey and Hart to edit for them a new Juvenile Annual, I shall be extremely obliged to you for a contribution, which you will be kind enough to forward previous to the 1st of March. It is only within the last few days that the publishers have been able to conclude their arrangement, for bringing out the book [DE: ?] [DE: ?] for 1837 : as they had reason to suppose that the engravings could not be finished in time; the engravers (that is, the good ones) being all overwhelmed with work - This must be my apology to you for the shortness of the notice. One of your Boston papers, the Courier, was excessively severe on "the Gift for 1836," the other annual that I edit for the same publishers. I know not who could have written the article (which was much in the style of John Neal) but it was downright abusive of the whole book, and of my story in particular. For fear I should not see it, they sent me a copy by mail, with the most offensive passages marked. Such conduct to a female is not only ungentlemanly but unmanly; and was warmly resented by several of the Philadelphia editors in their own papers - Who is it that conducts the Boston Courier? Nevertheless, six thousand copies of the Gift were sold in ten days after its publication last October; and a second edition was printed for Christmas, and of that but a few copies are now remaining. If we had as many Annuals in America as they have in England, there is room enough for all, and people enough to buy and read them; therefore there is not occasion for any jealousy [DE: ?] feeling among the proprietors or contributors - I grieve that such things should be - How do you like Miss Martineau on acquaintance? Her having so openly come out an abolitionist, has greatly injured her popularity in Philadelphia, where, though we have no slaves, we have a great number of negroes; and where emancipation, equalization, and amalgamation are regarded with almost as much aversion as in the south. As to the intermarriage of blacks and whites, it is here considered with the utmost disgust and horror, as I think it ought to be every where. Whenever such a state of things prevails [DE: ?] (which, however it never will) I leave America to return no more - Much as I love my dear nieces, I would rather follow them to the grave than see them the wives of black men; even if those black men had every accomplishment and every virtue that could fall to the lot of human beings. - If it were possible that we could allow ourselves to become a race of mulattoes, we should justly deserve the scorn and contempt of all the rest of the civilized world. However, it is idle to speculate on what can never be. My sister Ann Leslie tells me that she had the pleasure of seeing you during her visit to Boston last summer. She was as much delighted with your charming city as I am. I have placed there the scene of my last story, Chase Loring, which is now in the hands of the printer. I hope you and your children are well - As they grow up, how much more they will add to your happiness. Yours affectionately Eliza Leslie - When you send, as I hope you will, the article for my annual, direct to Messrs Cary and Hart, Philada - Mrs S.J. Hale Care of Messrs Capen and Lord Booksellers Boston Mass. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document New-York March 2d 1836 My very dear friend. I do not know how you will receive this letter as I have deferred so long to answer yours, and I feel that I owe you an ample apology. But the only one I can give is that I would not write you until I could give you some encouragement relative your books. I have not, however, succeeded to my wishes, I cannot find any one who will purchase the one or subscribe to the other. There are several who are willing to take them on commission, but I have been afraid of recommending them for fear of causing you a loss. Men are so bad now, that conscience has no part in their acts, so that it is extremely difficult for females to transact business with them. The fact is, false pride leads them to support a style of living which neither belongs to their station in life nor corresponds with their means, and to make a show of gentility, they sacrifice every thing, even the [DE: hopes and] peace of a dying bed and the hopes of Eternity. I am, however, acquainted with 3 different houses here who I think you might trust, and if you will send your "School Song Book", what ever number you choose, I will leave them at their stores and see that they do you justice, as far as it is in my power. I see by the N.A. Review that you have published an other work, and I trust that you may prosper and be well compensated for your distinguished talents and indefatigable labours. There is some pleasure in exerting ourselves if we can bring our labours to good account - but it is not for all to bask in sun-shine. Some reap a golden harvest, others saw, but the enemy mix tares with the grain, and among these stands poor [?] So far, it has been my lot to aid in the support of men. Ticknor is the fourth gentleman who has taken advantage of my unbefriended situation. I was very sure, when you wrote me that he had not sold my books, that it was incorrect, and I wrote him when I arrived to N.Y. that I wished him to send me the remaining books as here had never any of them been offered, and I could sell them here, but he answered that they were settling their business and would write me as soon as they had gon [gone] through with it. They has half of the edition, the publishers in Cincinnati had four hundred for their charges, and the proceeds of those I had (100) is all I have received, and of this number a large part went as presents among my friends. Mr Fullerton requested me to send a bill on them to him promising to try to get something, I send the bill in letters by mail, but I have not since then heard from Mr Fullerton. He also said he would send me four books that were sent from T. & [A.?] to his store but I have not received them. I could have sold the copy-write here if I could have [DE: sent a s] given a specimen, but owing to my nor receiving those left at Mr F's I have not been able to do so. Some mistake must be the cause of the delay as I am sure Mr F. would do all he could for me. I am and have been very much occupied with my new work. Owing to the imperfect knowledge we have here of drawing on stone, I have not been able to get any one to do my plates as they ought to be to be colored in a superior style. I have therefore been obliged myself to practise [practice] on several stones, and hope I have now succeeded, but I cannot tell until next week how they plates will look when they are colored, as I have but just finished the stone I last began. It is of great consequence that I should have them printed from stone as copperplates are very expensive. Besides if I can do it myself, I am paid well for it, and am sure that it is not slighted. The coloring will also devolve on me. Should I succeed in producing a work superior to any we have at present, if the kind, I shall have the merit at least of perseverance, for every body, who pretend to know any thing about coloring here say that it is impossible to produce plates equal to my painting. I have told them that all that is wanted in this country is moral courage, and that whatever has been done before can be done again, and I hope the lord will prosper my efforts, that I may prove my confidence substantiated. [DE: tially] Give my love, if you please, to any of my friends that you may meet with, and do write me soon how you prosper and all about your children, and how you intend spending the summer. If it was convinient [convenient] I wish you would call at Mr. Fullerton's to see if he has sent my books, perhaps they are lost, if so, I have lost the sale of the second edition for I cannot sell the copy-write if I cannot show them the work. God bless you, my dear friend, Maria Turner. In great haste. I wish that you would compose a few lines on the hundred- leaved-rose for my work, it is the last of the plates, and I should like one of a religious cast, I do not want you to say any thing about it, but I intend to have poetry interspersed in the work.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, April 2d 18[?]6. My dear Son - This is the sixth letter I have written you since you left Annapolis, yet I find by your letters that not one of mine has reached you, I shall mail this for Savannah, and write to the P.M. to forward it you. Your letters have all reached me, and have been very welcome, I assure you. That from [?] was the last. I have been very anxious and concerned on your account. You are in my thoughts constantly, by day, and by night, and most earnestly do I pray that you may be preserved, and returned to me safe and in good health. - Dangers and hardships I know you must encounter; these are the lot of your profession, nor would I have you seek to be exempted from its duties when your country requires your services. But I am more and more dissatisfied with your profession. I hope, if you are returned once more safely to the [peace?] establishment, that you will in earnest exert yourself to enter the civil engineering profession. - I cannot feel willing to have you continue in the army all your days, and be liable to be sent to the Gulf of Mexico, or beyond the Rocky Mountains. - But we will talk over all these matters when you come home from these Indian wars. I see by the papers that Gen. Gaines has left the troops at Withlachochee [Withlacoochee] and gone to New Orleans; and that there is some prospect that the Indians will submit without more fighting - this last item of news is, I fear, too good to prove true. There has been many rumors afloat respecting disagreements among the commanding officers, - but indeed we cannot place much reliance on the accounts from Florida, the news of one day being usually contradicted, in part at least, by the next mail. Many of these rumors doubtless arise from the free and easy suggestions of the numerous letter-writers at Washington - each on being solicitous to tell some great things the [?], or party assertions of the Capitol are caught up and transmitted to ends of the Republic. I do not, therefore, place much reliance on the reported operations of the Army, till they appear officially announced. - Pray write yourself, as often as possible, and tell me everything respecting your situation and prospects which you can communicate. Your brothers and sisters are very well, and have no cause of trouble, except concern for brother D. - William writes me (he is still at New Hampton) that he feels very bad about you, but hopes it will turn out for the best. He is writing a novel, has laid the scene in the time of Chivalry; so I suppose we may expect some warlike descriptions. April 9th - I had written the former part of my letter, when I rec'd a note from Mrs. DuPré, saying that she and daughter would be in Boston in a day or two - so I kept my letter, in order to add something more particular about your sisters. But she has not yet come, tho' I learn that she is at Greenfield. I had a letter yesterday from you, date Fort Doane - thank you for thus remembering that I am anxious for you. I do hope the affair will soon be over. The climate is as much to be dreaded as the savages. - But resolution and the good providence of God will, I trust carry you through all these hardships and dangers safely. - I have this day rec'd a letter from your sister Frances - I wish you could see it - she has lately turned her thoughts to the subject of religion - and trusts that she is in heart a christian. She writes calmly and meekly, but with the spirit of love for her friends, and for every one which she never before expressed. - She says, "I pray often for brother David - and I feel, indeed almost know that he will return safely." So you find, my dear Son, that [their] there are true and warm hearts beating for you. - - Josepha has entirely recovered her health; and F. says is "handsomer than ever." - The Barbers send their best regards to you - Elizabeth Ingalls says her love is the least she will send you so far - and all your friends, (and mine) here express many good wishes for your safety and return.

I am very glad you left Fort Drane - we see daily the accounts of the progress of the war, with the Seminoles, Creeks & other savages. - I do wish this state of things could be ended. The Creek war, it is thought is brought to a close - but the Cherokees are not yet pacified. - Gen. Scott is recalled; - perhaps you know this - and will be tried by a Court Martial for the failure of the war in Florida. Of course, we do not know how the affair will appear when investigated. He probably had appalling difficulties to struggle with, and if he can be honorably acquitted, I hope he will be; for it is hard enough to live a soldier's life, without being disgraced for failures which could not be prevented. I rec'd your letter of June 5th and wrote a long letter in answer, which, if it reached you, may trouble you a little - But bear in mind, my dear Son that in [ED: the following text appears along the left side of the page] - P.S.

I must [advert?] to, in order to counsel you to avoid them. I wish I could send you my table load of books. I have sent a number of papers, my Magazine, [etc.] - and hope some of them will reach you. I rec'd your letter with the 50 dollars, have had the bill exchanged, giving a premium of 6 per cent - the money was a great help to me - for my expenses are, this year, more than my income will be. - Horatio goes on bravely at Col. It is now vacation - but at the Exm. he had the first part in his class, and is called the best scholar which has been in the University these many years. - In short, he is the public favorite, and I am now only anxious to guard him from the vanity which so much flattery and success has a tendency to inspire, and keep him calmly and perseveringly employed in deserving the [DE: ?] praises he meets with, and If he can only pass safely through this ordeal of prosperity, without allowing the commendation of the world to become necessary to his further progress, I shall feel sure that he will, if he lives twenty years longer, be really a great man.

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 Boston, Sept. 17 - 1836 My dear Son - I rec'd your letter of June 30 - about ten days since - but as I had, a short time previous, mailed a letter for you - I did not hasten to answer you, as I wanted to fill a large sheet - a folio - making a family letter, if we cannot have a family meeting. - I feel thankful that your health has been preserved, in that perilous climate - and that you are so comfortably situated; if comfort can be predicated of such a place. - I hope before this you have been promoted - I think you deserve it for your long service, without any furlough since you graduated. But I do not wish you to have any promotion which will induce you to remain in the army. I dislike the service more and more. The pay is small - and there seems no chance of obtaining, by any sacrifice in the service that which a soldier is taught to consider of the first importance - namely honor, - If our officers cannot conquer impossibilities as well as enemies they are court-martialed, and disgraced. Many have resigned - and, I understand, that the Lieutenants are generally employed in civil engineering, immediately, and to much greater profit than the army pay [afforded?] them - to say nothing of enjoying one's liberty; and the privilege of ordering one's own movements. Thomas Lee - (he was first Lieut.) resigned - and went to Washington to transact some business - and was forthwith appointed by Government to superintend the works and property at "Old Point Comfort" I believe (at some military station near, at any rate) with a salary of $3000! - I was informed of this by his father - who further remarked [DE: ?] his son wrote him, that he had become convinced that no young man of talents and enterprise would remain long in the army under the present system - that the opportunities of employment on public works were now so great and increasing, there was [DE: ? ?] every advantage on the side of the civil engineer, of the U.S. Officer. - I wish you could serve a year in the Civil Engr Corps. before resigning - as I suppose your military tactics have been your chief study since leaving the W.P.[Institution?] - There seems no prospect of subduing the Seminoles; tho' I think greater exertions on the part of Government will be used in the coming campaign than was made last winter. I dread the war - it seems so desperate and so interminable. - But God is able to preserve you - - Frances has written you that she is with me - we have had a pleasant time - H. F. & Willey - but you and J. were not - Willey has grown and improved too, very much. He is a fine scholar - the "crack sholar [scholar] of the New Hampton Seminary," as they tell me. He will be fitted to enter the "Rensselaer Institute" next Sept. where they prepare students for all the duties of Civil Engineering - And here comes another family epistle from Frances Martha odious name, I mean the Martha - Mother insists that I shall write, I should be very willing if it were a little [fairy?] sheet, but this enormous concern frightens away all ideas - I am spending the vacation home - Horatio and Willey have been home, so that we almost made a family party - You complain of the hot weather - We have had not a symptom of summer, the vegetation is nearly all blighted by the frosts - However it is comfortable to-day - [? ?] all getting along finely - Mother will tell you of her arrangements, Horatio is quite a literary gentleman I am living on my own [looks?] (almost) Josepha & Willey on nothing at all - I am glad you have passed so much of the hot season safely, and I hope you will be preserved through the winter and visit us in the spring - I hope you wont be quite a savage or marry any of those wild girls who live round about - Are the people; (excluding of course Indians, Negroes, sarpints and the like) civilised? - Mother proposes that we should return in a year and open a school, she being [sleeping?] Principal, and we active assistants, that we are to have 20 scholars, make 2000 dollars and take a house - This plan originated in the sage head of Horatio, who is crazy after a home as he calls it - I shall install him cook, and see how he likes home - But I suppose it mustn't be - and I shall have the felicity of bidding you welcome to a little [brick?] house, with green blinds and to the bosom of a family of 26 all living on at least spending the the day time, in that little brick house - Hold the charming prospect before the eyes of the mind, and feed upon it - By the way, Willey says that I used to tell him the "mind's eye" was in the back of the head, but I positively deny his assertion - I wish I could send something to comfort you in that dreary place, but it's "no possible" - I send love and prayers for your health and safety - I would write better, if I could - Good bye Frances Anne! - studies the same, as at West Point, except the Military - and indeed more extended. He is inclined to enter that profession - (Civil E.) and as he shows an uncommon aptitude for the Mathematics and Drawing - I have concluded to educate him for those pursuits. - Frances has grown and improved very much. She is a lovely girl - called quite a beauty - I wish you could see her, and hear her play - she excels in music - and indeed is an interesting and accomplished young lady, as you will acknowledge, when you meet. - I have not seen J. for a year - hope I shall be able to go to [Troy?] next month. - I have a work in prep - which promises to be profitable - and I have been making some arrangements, which, next year, will, I think, be very advantageous. Will tell you all about in my next - God bless you. S.J.H. Boston Sept. [?]th 1836 Dear Brother Mother has just given me leave to have a little corner in this family letter and as it will be the last & best [?] family that I shall have I will see if I can manage to concoct a few lines. Here I am in this good city of Boston, whither I returned from New Hampton a few weeks ago and to the same rocky & hilly place I shall be jacked off tomorrow with all my goods & chattels. It is indeed a rather pleasant place than your broiling climate as I had rather be frozen than burnt alive. I am studying to fit myself for a Civil Engineer and [DE: am] so I shall have to study very hard I suppose as I intend to enter the Rensselaer Institute next September. I went to the [Exhibition?] of the Phi Beta Kappa Society last week and a most eloquent address and a splendid poem In one part of it he described a hot day such a one as I suppose you have down in your part of the world I can only recollect one verse it was this "And abolition men and maids Were tanned to such a hue You scarce could tell them from their friends Except their eyes were blue" I have nothing more to say except to condole with you on your unfortunate situation and so I must close Excuse all mistakes Your aff. brother W.G. Hale Battle of Withlacochee [Withlacoochee] Hollow ye the lonely grave, Mark its caverns deep and wide; In the soil they died to save Lay the Grave men side by side. Side by side they fought and fell, Hand to hand they met the foe; Who has heard his [grandsire?] tell Braver stripe or deadlier blow? Make no mournful harmonies, Shed no earthly tear for them; Summer dew and sighing breeze Shall be wail and requiem. Pile the grave-mound broad and high, Where the martyred brethren sleep; It shall point the pilgrim's eye Here to land - but not to weep. Not to weep - oh, no! The grief Springing from a blow like this, May not seek a [forced?] relief In the drops that mothers kiss But the kindling heart shall bear [Home?] the lesson [stern?] and high, With as proud a flame to dare, - With as calm a throb to die. - Elah - [ED: the following appears along the side of the page] I have copied a poem of Horatio's which I thought would interest you. It was published in the America Monthly Magazine. He has a long poem in the last number of that work, entitled "Black Hawk" - I hope you will be here next commencement, when he graduates. - Your affectionate Mother S.J.

I hope they will reach you, then you will have all our plans and hopes. The fifty dollars you sent last June, I have had discounted, at a loss of only six per cent.

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 Boston, Dec 1st. 1836 My dear Son - It is Thanksgiving here in the "Bay State," to-day, but I shall keep mine in writing to you, rather than feasting. Horatio has gone to Mr Parker's to dine - your cousin Sarah Hale is there also - and I was invited but I am not very well, and did not feel in a mood to go, so I will devote the time to you. Your last letter (Oct 28th) reached me safely. Now I do hope you will be able to follow it, safely, in a short time! I do not, however, desire you to come north till the spring opens - it is very cold here, now, and I fear one of our severe winters would seriously injure your health, you are now so accustomed to a warm climate. But next summer I hope to be able to take an excursion or two with you. We will go to Troy, and Niagara if possible. - I have disposed of my interest in the Ladies' Magazine to Mr Godey of Phila - publisher of the "Lady's Book" - the two publications are to be united the first of January, and I shall edit the united work. It will be much better for me than to sustain the Magazine. I have a stated salary, which will be better than I have ever recieved [received]; and then I am released from all care of proof-reading [etc.] - So that I shall have my time more at my own disposal; and can visit my friends. - Horatio is thinking of going out in the "South Sea Expedition," which the Government is about preparing to go on a Voyage of discovery to the South Pole. H. can go as linguist. He thinks it will be a grand introduction to the business of life, to be schooled by a three years, experience of wild and daring adventures. You know he was always sending his fancies abroad to the ends of the earth - I do not know how many schemes he has planned about the Islands in the Pacific - "Owyhee" and the neighboring ones - and he understands the language of the natives probably better than [DE: about] any person, who has not resided there. - I shall not object to his going, if he can obtain a good appointment - tho' I shall be very sorry to part with him, for so long a time - and the dangers of the expedition often rise up to distress me. But God can keep him. - The matter will be decided soon. - I heard from your sisters a short time since - well and happy - only wanting to have you safely out of Florida to be very happy indeed. - I see that several promotions have been made - when are you to go up? - I hope your very long campaign will not be in vain - few have remained more steadily at their duty, and that is much in such a climate and country as that in which you are now serving. - I do not recollect any news of importance - Your friends are all well - - The news from Florida gives us hope that this campaign will decide the contest with the Seminoles; but so we thought last year. - Oh, I do wish it were over! Your affectionate Mother. P.S. Sarah Hale is here attending school - learning to dance [etc.] She has grown considerably since you saw her, and is a pretty interesting girl, and very loveable. She wants much to see you, sends a great amount of love to you, and says you must write her, if you have a moment's time. Yrs ever, S.J. Hale. David E. Hale Lt.

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.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Jan. 19. 1837 My dear Son Your letter of Dec. 10th reached me safely - and I have since learned by the papers that the expedition to the Wahoo Swamp was unsuccessful, and that the troops have been to Tampa Bay. - Pray write every opportunity, as I find a great satisfaction in knowing where you are. I have a Map of Florida and Cohen's history of the operations of the "Left Wing," in 1836 - which I study for the localities - I know all the ground you have been over - and have often cast a fearful eye on the "everglades" - I do hope you will not be compelled to explore that terra incognita. - I see, by the Globe, that you [have?] obtained your promotion and are now 1st Lieut. - Mr Barton, your Uncle, was here last week. - he says you will obtain a Captaincy at the close of the war - - I hope it - the war, will soon be over - - It seems an age since I saw you - and besides if you do not come home this spring, you will not see Horatio for - years - perhaps - "And thereby hangs a tale' which I think will surprise you - Know then, that Horatio has been appointed Philologist in the Scientific Corps, which is to be attached to the Expedition soon to be sent to the "South Seas" on an exploring adventure. He has accepted the appointment, left College, and is now with me in Boston, [coursing?] the Languages of every "nation tongue and people" he can find in books.. - It is a great thing for him, as it opens to him the career he has always desired; and that too in a manner so highly honorable. - His salary is two thousand dollars per year, besides rations and travelling expenses the same as a Naval officer, and he expects $1500 as an outfit. He will probably be absent three years at least; and be employed by Government a year or two after he returns to complete his work on the Languages of the Strange people they find - if they find any. - You know the languages are his particular favorites in his literary pursuits - yet President Quincy says he is the first in his class in every branch of study - So you may form some opinion of the rank he holds at Col. He is to recieve [receive] his degree, the same as tho' he graduated. It is not expected that the Expedition will sail till May - I do hope you will reach Boston before that time, or if not, that you will [ED: page torn] H. in Washington. The Scientific Corps will assemble there before they sail. - I know you will rejoice at this good fortune for your brother - he will now be able to assist me and his sisters; and spare your purse for a time, at least. - If you obtain a Captaincy in the course of the year, we shall be very "well to do in the world." as Mrs. Trollope says. - And Oh, how much I have to be thankful for! That my children are all capable of recieving [receiving] an education, and that they appear disposed to improve the talents they possess. - If I could only see all of them together once more, before H. goes, I think I could part with him without regret. But tho' you and he are successful, yet it diminishes much of my happiness when obliged to part with you for such long periods. David E. Hale Lt. U.S. Artillery Volusia Florida.

Text Any textual data included in the document 1837 Boston, March 13 - My dear Son - I have just rec'd your letter of Feby. 19th - And you have had no letter from me since Dec. - I have written two - one in Jan: the other on the 19th Feby. I hope they will reach you - that they have done so. I told you about Horatio's appointment in my letters - He has a salary of $2000 per annum, outfit of $1500 and travelling expenses and rations, the same as a Naval officer. He is now in Boston, expecting every day to be summoned to Washington to meet the Scientific Corps. (The Expedition will not, probably sail till July, or August. You will be in Boston before that time, I trust. And now I have other news for you. I have made arrangements for your sisters to come to Boston next month, and open a day school the first of May. I shall take a house and be at housekeeping, I hope, when you come home that we shall have a few pleasant weeks, all together before Horatio sails - What do you think of the plan? It will do well after we are once established - but the beginning is a somewhat formidable [?], and calls for what we have not - cash. - Horatio will furnish the funds as soon as he can draw pay; but till he is called to Washington he cannot ever obtain his outfit. Therefore if you can forward a little money soon it will be very acceptable. The discount is not very great - on U.S. bills only one percent. The price of tuition for our pupils will be $100 per year - therefore with 25 pupils, which I think we can calculate upon - we shall have $2500, per year. This, with my literary income will make us quite independent - and you may begin to lay by your surplus revenue, in order to settling in life, as the saying [is?] - I do not intend to tax you much longer, if I can help it. - Willey is well, at New Hampton, and brilliant, quite, as a scholar. If he lives he promises to be quite a genius. - - Now pray write immediately, a [good?] long letter, and tell me about movements of the army, and when you hope to be at liberty to come home. In June I shall expect to see you, without fail - earlier, if possible. Your friends here are all in good health. - Your destiny is often a subject of inquiry, and much interest is expressed to see you return safe. I shall mail with this, a copy of our last Seaman's Aid Report - and a paper - I have been very busy in several literary engagements, and the Lady's Book is very successful. - But when you come here we shall pour the whole story into your can. - And now, my dear child, may God bless and keep you - Your Affectionate Mother S.J. Hale P.S. - You are now "twenty two" and according to Willis, no longer "a boy" - You recollect his poem on such an [occasion?] - "I"m twenty two, I twenty two - They gaily give me joy, As if I should be glad to know I am no more a boy." [etc.] Well, I think you have had sufficient experience of life to be twenty two in spirit Ever yrs. S.J.H. David E. Hale Lt.

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.

My dear Son - Your letter reached me a day or two since - I have been reflecting deeply on your prospects, and what course it would be best for you to pursue, and am decided that you had better resign at once and come home Your brother Horatio has written on the subject of money - he will be able to advance you funds to begin with, after you have spent a few months at home, and got rid of your war habits, you can go to the West or South and engage as a Civil Engineer. I doubt not, in a situation far more pleasant and lucrative than even a Captaincy in the army would offer. I have friends who could, were you out of the army, assist you to obtain business, but who cannot promote your objects while you remain in the service. You have served four years, long enough to cancel your [ED: the following text appears upside down at the top of the page] Secy.

[etc.} - I hope, therefore, that you will send your resignation immediately, and take your course northwards very soon - - We have a pleasant home for you, and our school promises to be a profitable one. You need be at little expense while with us, and you have assisted me when I had no other resource, so you need not feel any troubled thoughts you do not bring much money with you. By the way, you had better only take sufficient to pay your travelling expenses, if you have more due, you can draw, can you not? - It will be better, because there is a discount of from five to fourteen per cent on Southern bills. - I wish you had resigned a year ago - but I thought that the last campaign would settle the war, and that there would be the best opportunity for you to leave. I have never been willing to admit the idea that you were to remain your life-time in the army. And your last letter makes me feel every moment an age till I hear that you are free. You are now only twenty two - and [ED: page torn] years if you work hard [ED: page torn] judicious, you may be [ED: page torn] on an estate if your own [ED: page torn] Illinois or Michigan, I doubt [ED: page torn] and be independent. Now is the time for you to enter on some passion[ED: page torn] [ED: page torn] fixed design of persevering - and, my son, remember that your success and happiness are essential to the happiness of your mother and sisters - and that your brothers will be greatly influenced by your conduct. [?] you have contracted any habits that are not, in your own estimation, such as you would have them imitate, let me convince you to correct them. Leave The faults and follies of the camp with your commission in Florida - and come home to engage in a better and happier career. I shall expect you in a few weeks. Come soon or Horatio may be gone on his long voyage. Your sisters send a thousand kisses and love unmeasurable They hope to see you soon. - William is now at home - all but you are here. - Come and the table will be full. Your affectionate Mother. S.J.

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 Boston, Nov. 28, 1838 My dear Son - Tomorrow is Thanksgiving - How I wish you were here, to keep it with us! Willey came in today, and will remain till Saturday. Fanny is reading a novel - and I have "taken my pen in hand" to write you a long letter. - I had a letter from Horatio about a fortnight since. He was at Madison, where they arrived after [?]0 day's passage. He had been quite sea-sick, but was then pretty well. He was rather home-sick, too, and said that the three years' voyage would fully satisfy his curiosity. - Probably he will grow more contented as he becomes more accustomed to a sea-life. We have heard from Josepha at Philadelphia, - but not since - I am expecting a letter every day. - Lieut. Donaldson calls [DE: ?] occasionally - he seems quite happy. I do wish you were in his station here. - By the way, I saw Lieut. Hooker a week or two since when he was in Boston. He told me that you were ordered to Plattsburg - and till I rec'd your letter I expected you were going. But it seems he was mistaken. - You wish for books - I will prepare a box, (a small one) in a few days - I hope you will finish arranging your accounts (and find all matters correct), so as to be at home before Christmas. Do you think you shall go to Washington? I have almost determined on accompanying you - provided you will be gone but one month. I want to visit Philadelphia; and I think I can obtain money for the journey of M Godey - What do you think of the plan? Oh, news - Mrs Yates - the late Mrs [Willard?] of [Troy?] - was here last week with her husband Dr. Yates - They have taken a house in Boston, and will be settled here in the course of a fortnight. So we shall have quite an addition to our circle of friends. - The Miss Sumners' called today - [?] enquired particularly about you - said that Donaldson praised you to the skies - she expressed a warm wish to have you return to this city. - Donaldson has spoken well of you I know - he gives you credit for great talents - but says you might accomplish much more than you do, if you would exert yourself. - I think that if you can so arrange as to go to Washington during this session, it may be for your advantage. I do hope some opportunity of change or promotion will occur. - I have just rec'd a letter from Miss Mitford of London, accompanied with a little volume of her works - on opera. - She writes very kindly. - Your Aunt Hale is rather out of health, and Sarah has gone home - she intends to return in a few weeks. Sarah P. and Isabelle are good and quiet as ever. - I believe I told you in my last of the death of Charles Haywood - Horatio's College friend. He died after a few days [sickness], which was brought on by [severe?] study and over-exertion. It is an irreparable loss to his family and friends. - Misses Buckingham & Combe have finished their lectures and gone; but we are not yet released - for a new orator has arrived, an Arminian, from Constantinople, who has just commenced a course of lectures on the character, manners, [etc.] of The Turks. I attended the [Introductory?] last evening, but do not [intend?] to go through the course. Pray write soon, and a long letter too. Tell me how you pass your time and who are your most intimate associates and friends - not The "Major" - I hope. I wish you were fairly out of the army, and in some pleasant and profitable business. - But we must be patient. You can have little conception of the anxiety I feel on your account - I often regret that I did not place you in the mercantile profession - but I thought you would be happier with an education, May Good angels guard you - Yr Mother.

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Feby, 5, 1839 My dear Son - I have been waiting to hear from Horatio before writing to you, and to-day letters have come from [Rio?] - He was there Nov. 27, in good health and spirits - collecting and collating the Negro dialects, which the fresh importations of slaves there constantly furnish. He appears to be devoting himself in earnest to the prosecution of his task and determined to allow no pursuits of pleasure to interfere in his course. He says he had been eight days in that most dissipated place and had not expended a dollar except for a few presents to send home; he drinks no wine or strong drink of any kind - and intends to win his way to fame if industry and self-denial, (or rather a course dictated by self-respect) can succeed. - May heaven strengthen and sustain his efforts. His letters give me great satisfaction. Lt. Donaldson called Feby. 1st and paid me $63.15, which had been sent him from Houtton for you. - Whenever you want the money write me, and I will try to enlarge it to $100 - Lt. D. appeared in better spirits than I have seen him for some time - he is coming into the city to board, I fancy that he is engaged in a correspondence with Miss C. Marshall, but whether as lover or friend I cannot say. - He said that he had been quite unsuccessful for the last month in obtaining recruits - had got only six and the expense to government was about $300 - He had attended the last ball at [Alinarks?] - The day after you left Boston Mr. [Randall?] called to invite you to dine - he had been quite ill, and regretted much that he had not seen you - several other invitations also came, and it seemed that you went just as you would have found your visit most agreeable. - How did you find your friends at Keene? I hear that Sarah H. is expected at Boston soon. We have lately had letters from Josepha, she seems to be quite a belle and enjoys herself much. - I wish you would write her a long letter - Direct to Franklin, Tenn. [Fanny's?] vacation commences this week - tomorrow. I wish you were here to take a sleigh ride or two with her, as she is so fond of it, and has no opportunity of making a visit to Concord or Keene. How do you like your present quarters? - I hope you have found a pleasant society of persons who are not like some with whom you have been associated. You cannot know the anxiety I feel on your account. Deeply do I regret that I ever sent you to West Point - but that cannot be remedied. If you would resolutely become what nature has qualified you to be - an industrious and successful scholar, you might now overcome the evil tendencies of your profession. Most of the vices [DE: which] and temptations which [beset?] an officer's station are indulged or fostered by idleness and [ED: page torn] ennui. - Now you will soon [ED: page torn] [twenty] four - an age when [reason?] should govern if ever. I do hope and pray that you will begin in earnest some intellectual pursuit - say the study of languages - French, Spanish and Italian - or Civil engineering - or even of the Military profession, connected as it is with the History and Civilization of the world. At any rate, do select some one branch of knowledge and pursue it - Novel-reading may do very well for Donaldson, but your mind requires some higher aim and pursuit. I will not believe that you can so disappoint all my hopes as to allow your past errors to become habits - No, for my sake, if not for your own, you will now throw off the incubus which has, for the last three or four years, weighed down your good resolves and be all that I wish - all that you are capable of becoming. - I shall write again on your birthday. - F. & W. are well and send bushels of love. Yr. affectionate Mother S.J. Hale. David E. Hale Lt. U.S. Artillery Rousse'Point (near Plattsburg) New York - [ED: the following text appears upside down at the bottom of the page] P.S.

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 Boston, March 18, 1839 My dear Son - I was very glad to see your hand-writing once more. You do not know how these long intervals of silence trouble me. I imagine you are sick - and suffer a thousand inquietuds [inquietudes]. Pray do not allow so long an interval to pass again. You can always find subjects that will interest me. Tell me of your going on - of your "sweet-heart" - of the state of the country, &c [etc.] - By the way, the state of the country is truly "horrible" - You must write often, or I shall fear you are burned out or up. - I do not think there will be actual, formal war - but there may be a little skirmishing. You know that Gen. Scott is in Maine. The people there have the war fever quite [warm?] - but it will die away, I think - Little Vic will not like to go to war with her best customer. Who will buy all the Birmingham [wines?] [etc.] A war would be bad enough for America, but much worse, it appears to me, for England. I had a letter from Horatio - dated Jan. 4th the day of sailing from Rio - They are round the Cape before this - expect to reach Valparaiso next month, I believe. He was well and in good spirits. Everything had gone on prosperously. - Willey has gone back to College and Greek - Josepha writes of parties, balls, beaux, [etc.] and Fanny is up to the eyes in engagements to parties - has two for this week. - Cousin Sarah is smiling is ever, and Miss Buell is busy in preparing for the wedding - Miss [G.?] Andrews is to be married on Wednesday (this week) I wish I had the $300 to send you in this letter - and if, you do not readily obtain it - if you tailor disappoints you, let me know it immediately - I can spare $100 - perhaps 200 - for a few months, Till you can [?] it to repay - Perhaps you may obtain $100 of same of the officers at the Point - that is, in case you are disappointed from N.Y. - I send you two papers to-day - I have mailed papers every day or two - Do they reach you? Have you visited at St Albans? Or do you intend going there? [Mrs?] Yates will send you a letter of introduction to some of [her?] friends there, if you wish it. - Dr. Yates has been quite ill - Mrs. Putnam is dangerously sick - no hopes of recovery - Our S.A. Soc. Fair is going on, prosperously - it is to be on the 24 of April - at Armory Hall, where you saw "Bunker Hill" - What a wonderful show that is! I was quite astonished at variety and precision of the various scenes illustrated. I wish I could send you some books - Nicholas Nickelby is not yet finished - when it is I will find some means to forward it. P[ED: paper torn] keep a faithful guard out ev[ED: paper torn] night - for, I shall think of you every time I lay my head on my pillow - May God guard and bless you, Yr. Affectionate Mother F. sends oceans of love. 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.

Text Any textual data included in the document Brooklyn Dec. 23rd /41 My dear Mrs Hale I was most agreeably surprised by your kind letter this morning, just as I was preparing to address you on rather a singular affair which occurred a few days since. Need I say that I value your warm hearted epistle doubly because it has been thus voluntarily proffered. With regard to my editorship, I am glad to receive your approbation, and hope that the receiving a commission under another flag will not be considered a desertion from your ranks. I have kept myself free from restrictions, and while pledged to the performance of certain duties with regard to one magazine, and still at liberty to 'do what I please with mine own', in all others where I may choose to employ my pen. I had nothing to do with the choice of my coadjütors - I am not personally acquainted with Mrs. Stephens and probably never shall be; indeed I know nothing of her except her writings, and with Mrs Seba Smith and Mrs Osgood I am equally unacquainted. You know my home propensity, and how little I have heretofore made literature a business. The most I can do in that way is to reply to propositions; and indeed I never made a proposal to editor or publisher in my life, except to Mr Godey when I was desirous of continuing my series of historical sketches. My ill success then convinced me that I was not a good diplomatist and I now content myself with my own affairs, writing only as much as I please and publishing when and where I may choose. I am glad to learn that you like Philadelphia, I was there too short a time to be able to judge of it, but if you can be so well pleased with it, after having been so long attached to a residence in Boston, it certainly must be a most agreeable place. I thank you for your kind invitation to visit your 'city of sojourn' this winter, but can scarcely hope to avail myself of it. The bank is, as you imagine, in apple-pie order, but even an humble applepie requires a [just?] eye and careful hand to attend to its equal, daily distribution, and my husband rarely feels willing to delegate his duties to another. My own time will be much occupied this winter. My illness last summer together with my absence from home while in search of health has shortened my year by about two months; so that I shall have to economize hours and minutes until I make up the deficiency. But really I shall fill my paper before I come to the story I have to tell. To begin at the beginning as the fairy tale says: I was just going out one afternoon, when I was met at the hall door by two ladies in deep mourning who visited to see Mrs Embury. I introduced myself and led them into the parlour, wondering what could be their business with me. One of the ladies (whose name I did not learn) introduced the other as "Mrs Marshall" and stated that she (Mrs M.) had lost a daughter in August last. This accounts for the deep dejection, the heartbroken expression of Mrs Marshall's countenance, and with a strangely blended feeling of curiosity, surprise and sympathy I listened to the enthusiastic description given by the bereaved mother and her friend, of the deceased who it appears had ruptured a blood [vessel?] and died after a few days' illness, in the twentysecond year of her age. I still wondered why I was called upon to listen to the painfully affecting details, but in a little while, the mother produced a small parcel of manuscripts in the hand writing of her daughter which she wished me to read, and she finished by begging me, with tears, to write some poetry on the death of her darling child which might be published in her favorite Magazine The Lady's Book. Was it not a most singular request when it is remembered that I have never seen the daughter and knew nothing of the mother but her name. Mrs M was evidently a woman who knew nothing of literature and only valued it because it had been something which her child had loved. She seemed to feel as if her grief would be mitigated by the thought that her child was commemorated in verse, and unwilling as I was to undertake such a thing, my feelings of sympathy, and I might almost say charity for the distressed would not allow me to refuse. The manuscripts which she left me for examination were chiefly extracts and the little of [?] which I found among them was characterized by good taste but nothing more. To show how little the mother knew [of] such matters, she was not aware that the Book was published in Philadelphia - and after I had promised to write something she as delicately as possible, ventured to ask "What would be the charge." You will smile I dare say and I do not wonder, for really nothing but the bereaved mother's deep wretchedness prevented the whole affair from being ludicrous. There is indeed but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous, and had I not know from bitter experience, the anguish of a mother's heart I should scarcely have been able to sympathize with the stranger.

The explanation is one which I wished to make in case the verses should be sent to you, and I prefer sending them to you instead of forwarding them to Mr Godey, because if it is to gratify the mother at all, they should be published at as early a date as possible.

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.

Description An account of the resource Joseph Biays Ord (1805-1865), son of the noted Philadelphia ornithologist and Athenaeum founder George Ord, was a portrait, still life and religious painter, as well as a picture restorer. Specializing in still life painting from 1838 to 1862, Ord became known for his fruit pictures. In these dynamic compositions he uses a variety of sizes, colors and textures to express the passage of time. In this example, age spots appear on the apples, a partly peeled orange waits to be eaten, an empty almond shell lies on the table. The dishes which hold the fruit are typical examples of the fine ceramics which Ord uses in his pictures.

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.

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 Philadelphia May 20. 1846 My dear Sir - I fully intended to wait a fortnight before answering your last letter, pleasant and welcome though it was - because I know your important engagements demand all your time and attention, and I would not add to your cares. - But I must scribble a note now, the last Mexican news has so rejoiced me, and I am sure you will sympathize in my feelings. Perhaps you will not agree in my opinion, that our Government has done wisely and well in this matter, but I am sure you have a true American heart, and will be glad that Americans have been victorious and [DE: that] our brave little Army relieved from its perilous position. But I must tell you a little of my own t[?]h. We have just now, in our family, several ladies and gentlemen who are naturally [desponding?]; and I have remarked that such are usually "good whigs" - at any rate, these people, though good friends of mine are "good haters" of the President and all his works. When the disastrous news reached us of the murder of Col. Cross, the destruction of Lt. Porter and his men, and the perilous position of Col. Taylor, surrounded by the enemy and soon to be reduced by starvation, if not cut off in attempting to escape from the enemy, it was at once discovered by these good whigs, that the Mexican had been vastly underrated, indeed they now considered them formidable foes - and then the yellow fever and all sorts of fatal diseases were waiting to carry off the volunteers, if they went - but they would not go - the president and his [?] might go themselves. Did you ever meet with people wise enough (in their own opinion) to have counselled Solomon? - and so infallible that they could take a bull of the Pope by the horns? Well, such were my friends, and all I had to say was to beg them to wait - "bide the time." In truth, though I had no doubt of the final success of our army, I dreaded lest many of our brave men might be cut off, as they went in small detachments, to join Col. Taylor; - and tho deaths of those who had fallen were most sad to their families. The last thought ere I slept and the first when I awoke was of my poor countrymen, fighting or starving - and though I felt sure of the final victory, yet the last week has seemed to me very, very long. You will therefore understand that I must [DE: be very glad] have rejoiced greatly to hear the good news - especially as all those prophets and prophetesses of [evil?] are rejoicing with me, and what would be strange, if we did not know how easily people can, when they choose, shuffle off their own opinions. These good people seem all to have anticipated the very course Col. Taylor has taken, and they are so proud of their brave countrymen! - I have run on, as though you had nothing to do but decipher my scribblings - pray do not waste any time with a hieroglyph. - I enclose a copy of "The Farewell," with the last corrections and improvements. - Is it not a little better than when you sent it? My daughter has been in Princeton with her sister for the last fortnight, and I am very busy, preparing my volume of poems. I miss your kind assistance very much; and in the additions I have made to "The Sabbath and its Rest" feel often quite at a loss for advice or encouragement. I am very glad my last letter has elicited the information, which otherwise I might never have received, of the course you are pursuing with your workmen. It is noble, patriotic, just what is wanted to make the onward course of our country in wealth and physical prosperity permanently blessed as well as lasting. I think that in our Republic, if no where else, [DE: that] the poor and ignorant are under the especial guardianship of the rich and intelligent, that the latter should set such examples as they desire to have the former follow. If every man at the head of a large establishment, either mercantile or manufacturing, would do as you are doing, there would be no doubt of the beneficial influences which wealth, in the hands of companies or corporations might confer. - But in our great country there is room for all and every profession and pursuit. all may prosper and do good - if those who direct the energies of the people are honest, just, and good. Miss Lowry has returned - but I have not seen her - the H, House is very thin just now - and dull, they say. When are you intending to return? Or do you propose fixing your residence in Allentown? - Pray give a distinct name to your place - What shall it be?

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.

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.

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).

Text Any textual data included in the document Galveston, June 14th 1847. My dear Mother I received yesterday your letter of May last and write at once to caution you about some matters you mention in it. I have doubted whether Mr. Johnson intends to reside here permanently and I still doubt it - but Judge Watrous has told me that his, Mr. J's views have altered much since his visit to New Orleans, where the amount of business in prospect has been so great as to encourage him to remain in Texas, until he has made his fortune. I expect the result of it will be that he will spend the winters here in doing business and the summers at the North in procuring it My partnership with him is well known here - and his not speaking about [at?] the North was nothing singular. He had contracted for the building of our office before he left - which is not done - and I shall, as I had always expected, remain with Judge Watrous, who is to have a very pretty and convenient suite of rooms for offices, library [etc.] You need not be concerned about me in my connection with Mr. Johnson. Whether it exists and remains or not, I am not especially anxious - for all the business he obtains for Texas will unquestionably be mine also - and if he does not come out, I can stand very [DE: very] well by myself. I have received offers from several of the leading members of the bar here to enter into partnership with them - and if that with Mr. J is dissolved, I may accept some one of them - although if it should be possible I prefer to stand by myself. The caution I wish to give to you & José is to say nothing about Mr. Johnson & your opinions to Judge W. or any one. I have said nothing myself and for this reason - that it may & probably is all a mistake - and I should be especially sorry to suggest anything in the conduct or character of Mr. J. which should not prove strictly true - and also necessary - and it is certainly not necessary. I wish too you would dismiss your fears about me - and remember that I am a Yankee, with some education & common sense, some experience, some capabilities of managing - and that if I am not now able to take care of myself, I never shall be Everything is going on well here - the climate is far - infinitely less oppressive than in Richmond & Phila. - the town healthy and pleasant - and I am in less danger of sickness here than in the North - If the yellow fever should come, which is very doubtful - I shall go down the island - at a distance from the city, [or?] on the shore of Galveston Bay. I have a promise of very good business - am rather respected here [etc.?] - and feel at present the very dignified Office of District Attorney of the United States for this District - by an arrangement with the [present?] incumbent, who is dangerously sick. The emoluments will help me a little. The autographs which [?] mentions are in my collection - now at Richmond - I am quite sure he sent them to me, in exchange - but I will write to him. I am exceedingly glad that your finances are so good - Do not think of me - I have only been anxious to gain enough to send you or Jose some thing - which I hope to do next winter. So the Spaniards & the [Russians?] have gone - The Judge is delighted - and how is the household of the Mar[?] House flourishing? I shall write to Mrs. Howell soon about her land matters - You may expect Charley in about a fortnight after this letter reaches you - He will not, I think, be long in Phila - but long enough to tell you every-thing you want to know. I am boarding at Mrs. Cooke's. It is a very pleasant place - and she a pleasant woman. The [cautions?] about her which Josepha was pleased to give - were rather [?] - and based upon stories, which very naturally [?] but which, I think, leave nothing which ought to affect her character - She has been unfortunate only - perhaps imprudent but from goodness of heart and some little [desire?] of [admiration?] - nothing else - Love & remembrance to everyone - I have written to Fanny. [?] yours William G. Hale. Mrs. Sarah J. Hale {Care of L.A. Godey Esqr. Philadelphia - Penn.

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.
