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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Columbia So. Ca. Feb. 27th 1848 My dear Mrs Hale Well pleased was I last night to see once more your handwriting - and hear from you - after so long an interval of silence. I did not know your whereabouts exactly - or I should have claimed a place in your recollection ere now. You have been very loco motive for some years past at least so I was informed - and so all my communications to the Lady's Book were addressed to the laconic Mr Godey. I am happy to hear you are stationary in Phila. and promise myself the pleasure of spending some days there in the early part of the summer. It will indeed be delightful to listen to your plans - and talk over various matters of interest: - besides seeing you again - and my dear friend Mrs Davenport - the sister of the sweetest aunt I have in the world. With regard to the object of your letter - it will give me great pleasure to contribute to any annual edited by you - and as soon as my muse is propitious - I will send you some verses. Just at present I have nothing written except a translation of Lamartine's "Mother's Grave" - and Baranger's "Shooting Stars." I suppose you would rather have something original - even of inferior merit! The weather just now is not very favorable to poetic inspiration - or I would essay today - I wish you had given me a subject. Mrs Gilman writes [me?] she is preparing another volume of Oracles from the Poets - with new questions I am here so far out of the way of the current stream of literature, that I can never catch even a sparkle: and hear nothing of what is going on at the north - except by the slight notices in the newspapers. Have you any thing in press or in petto? There is an [aspirant?] after literary rewards - of the solid kind in Columbia - whom I should like to recommend to your kind aid - as you see the publishers of periodicals frequently I suppose. It is Marie, baroness von Hassell - or Mrs Hassell - as she calls her self here - teacher of a French school in this place. She has followed the fortunes, or rather misfortunes, of her husband to this country - where they have to toil for daily bread - after having been used all her life to the [highs] of society in Germany. She is in correspondence with a reigning duchess - and several of the nobility - but bakes - brews - scours and teaches music as if she had been born to them all. She has translated some tales and sketches into English: (which I have correcte) some have been published in the Democratic Review - and others are on hand. One account of "A Royal Marriage" from ms. letters of her friends in the service of the Duchess d'Orleans - I sent to Mr Godey - who handed it to Mr Peterson. I have not heard if he has accepted it. If you could dispose of any mss. for her - you would be doing a charity to a very deserving person. The Phila. weeklies perhaps would like her articles A Mrs Rose from New York has bee here a few days - and intends lecturing on Education. She brought letters to the venerable College President, Mr Preston - but he is just now in Washington - and another lady, to whose politeness she is consigned came for me yesterday to call upon her. She is a Pole by birth - evidently possessing talents for lecturing highly educated - and "darkly - deeply, blue." I am told she is a natural clairvoyant - and can judge of letters by feeling the paper - but have as yet been no specimens of her powers. Apropos des bottes - is your sober city inclined to receive mesmerism? We have had a professor of the science - Dr Webster - here all winter - who has been performing the most wonderful cures - exhibiting miracles of clairvoyance - and teaching all who were zealous of knowledge to the amount of ten dollars to do likewise. All who receive his lessons are bound by a written pledge of secrecy. He claims to have gone deeper into the matter than any one else - and to have rivalled Harvey in his discoveries. I am somewhat hurried this morning - and must deny myself the pleasure of a longer chat - Adieu - my dear Mrs Hale - believe me ever your affectionate friend E.F. Ellet please send the enclosed late valentine to the Post office. 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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Washington, Sept. 16th 1850. Mrs. Hale, Dear Madam, I avail myself of my earliest moments of leisure to give you a reply. By the official School Report of last year, it appears that the whole No. of Teachers in our Public Schools, was 8163. Of these 2426 were males, & 5737 females. It must be stated however, that this statement embraces all the teachers for both the winter & summer school; so that they are substantially reckoned twice. You will see by this that considerably more than half of all the teachers in our Public schools are female. They teach, not merely small children, but large boys, - men grown; & if they have knowledge & dignity of character, they manage young men, not only like a charm, but with a charm. We have one Normal School in Massachusetts exclusively devoted to females, It is near Boston, where objections exist to the attendence [attendance] of both sexes, as such a mature age, (or immature) on the same school. In the country, we have two other Normal Schools, open to both sexes. In Albany there is a very large Nor. School for both sexes. In Connecticut, there is a kind of Normal School, but it is not kept for [the?] same class only ten weeks. In Philadelphia, also there is one; about which you can obtain more detailed information, on the spot, than I can give you. These are the only Public Nor. Schools, I know of in this country, - schools sustained by the state, or, like that at Philadelphia, by the city. There are Normal classes in one of the Schools in New York city, there is a private Normal School in the interior of New York State, & another near Manchester, N.H. kept by Wm. Russell. In the Nor. Sch.s of Mass. we prepare about 150 for teachers each year. I have written not a little, in favor of employing Female Teachers. This sex is advocated in almost all my official Reports, which are published in the Common School Journal.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Albany Sep 16. 1850 My dear Madam I received your letter to-day & would be happy to aid you in this or any other literary matter, as far as I am able. I do not know how extended an account you wish of Miss Sewell I will [?] give you what maybe a sufficient outline for your purpose. I was well acquainted with Miss S. when in England in 1845, & have since had the pleasure of a constant correspondance [correspondence] with her. Her name is Elizabeth M. Sewell ( I do not know what the middle letter stands for.) Her family is one of great respectability, residing at "Sea View Cottage," BonChurch, near Ventnor, in the southern part of the Isle of Wight. Her father has been dead some years: her mother died about a year since. She has two brothers, one a barrister in London, the other, the Rev Wm Sewell AM. Fellow of Exeter Coll. & Prof. of Moral Philoy in Univ. of Oxford. The first publication about 7 years ago, was "Stories on the Lord's Prayer". Wh. came out anonymously. Then "Amy Herbert," wh. attracted great notice & has been through several editions in England & this country. II. "Gertrude". III. "Margaret Percival [Perceval]" 2 cols. IV. "Laneton Parsonage" 3 vols. V. "The Earl's daughter." Besides these she wrote "Walter Lorimer," the 1st story in "The Sketches" - (the other two stories being furnished by Prof. Sewell & Rev. [?] Adams, author of "The Shadow of the Cross"). The last publication is "Is it a Dream?" - a small vol. published anonymously and not reprinted in this country. The great object of her works is to advocate Church principles. Thus, "Amy Herbert" us devoted to the subject of baptism & Laneton Parsonage to that of Confirmation. Few writers writers have had so extensive a circulation in this country. I do not know of any portrait or engraving of Miss S. nor did I ever see one in England or at their own house. I regret that the application was not made to me some months ago, when I could have procured from England all the information you desired. Perhaps however this outline will enable you to write as extended a notice as you wish. If I can be of any further use to you in this matter command my services. There is one way in wh. sometimes I may aid you in your literary labour. I have control of the literary department of the "Albany State Register" a political paper established here last spring by the Hon. DD Barnard (now appointed minister to [Rumania?]) Hon John C, Spenser - Hon JA Collier & I took it at that request of these gentlemen who wished, (a new feature in a political paper) to have a distinct literary department. As it is the organ of Pres. Fillmore in this state, it has a wide circulation among the highest class of men & a notice of a book may be useful there I will send you a couple of Nos. that you may see it. I have occasionally noticed your periodical when sent me by booksellers here. Perhaps sometimes I may aid you in its notices. If so, let me know & it will afford me pleasure to do so.

Text Any textual data included in the document Princeton, Oct 8th/50 My dear Mrs Hale, Your complimentary request was received on Saturday last In complying with it, I am doubtful about what "particulars" you need for a "sketch." You know that I was born and educated at New Haven. It was at the time when ladies in our country were first allowed a truly liberal education. To the Rev Claudius Herrick (the revered teacher of hundreds who are now among the most useful and accomplished women in our country*) I am anxious to render a grateful tribute, for the last three or four years of my school - education. Bu the very side of Yale College stand the venerable old mansion, where that excellent man, with mild persuasiveness led along the briary paths of science, ripe, however with roses. - In my girlhood, I amused myself with attempts at poems, plays and novels - but no mortal eye was allowed to scrutinize these juvenile performances and before my marriage I consigned them to a general conflagration. It is doubtless, [DE: as] well for the world that these [?] [?] should thus have perished, but I have since regretted that some of those [?] * His pupils erected an appropriate monument to his memory in the beautiful cemetery at New Haven. were not spared that I might know exactly what then, were my thoughts and capabilities. - Although among the gayest of the gay, and apparently only desirous to be the belle of the ball-room, I had then higher aspirations; and eve[?], too much pride of character to be proud of wealth. When apparently most devoted to society, I found time for reading and study. But my dear Mrs Hale I do not like this writing in the first person. - I will give you a few nude facts and leave them to be clothed in your graceful drapery. Married in 1817 at a very early age to Cornelius Tuthill Esq a distinguished member of the bar fond of science & of literature. He encourages literary [tastes?] in his wife and wishes for intellectual companionship. - Encourages her to write and inspires this by causing a poem of hers to appear in print. - Mr Tuthill died in 1825 leaving a young widow with four children. Mrs T. as a solace under affliction takes up the pen. "James Somers the Pilgrim's Son" published in 1827 - . "Mary's Visit to B -." in 1829 ("By a Lady of New Haven.") For years devoted to the education of her children. - Wrote [DE: the "history] [DE: of] "Architecture," first for her own family. - One [number?] containing Ancient Architecture, was published at New Haven in a small [DE: quarto] volume Out of this, in time, grew "The History of Architecture, Ancient and Modern." since published in Philadelphia. Mr Ithiel Town's library affording facility for the study of the Art, a study performed for several years with avidity. In 1838-9 The Young Lady's Reader & Young Lady's Home, The first books to which her name was given. Had written anonymously for periodical literature meantime In 1842 removed to the vicinity of Boston Wrote " I will be a Gentleman, I will be a Lady" - both now in the nineteenth edition. "Onward, Right Onward." - "Anything for Sport." "The Boarding School Girl." - "A Strike for Freedom." - Besides this Juvenile Series - wrote "My Wife." - In Philadelphia "The History of Architecture was published. Edited "The Mirror or Life." B.P. Putnam published "The Nursery Book for Young Mothers." - The series "Success in Life," of which "The Merchant," 'Lawyer' and "Mechanic" have appeared. - If you think it best to mention Cornelia's Books, they are as follows - "Wreaths and Branches for the Church." [DE: ?] "Christian Ornaments, or the Spirit of the Church." "The Boy of Spirit" "When are we Happiest?"m(Juveniles.) "Hurra [Hurrah] for New England". "The Belle, The Blue & the Bigot," or Three Fields of Womans Influence." It would have given us pleasure to see you in Princeton, my dear Mrs Hale. We were extremely sorry not to see Mrs Hunter more frequently - she was occupied with her little family and Cornelia was quite ill at the time. I am happy to say she is now recovering her usual health, which at the best is never very strong. My daughters join with me in affectionate remembrances to you and your family: please do not fail to give dear little Richard a kiss fir me - I am anxious that he should not forget me. Truly yours, Louisa C. Tuthill. P.S. If I have omitted anything which you wish to know, in this very hasty scrawl, pray [DE: ?] inform me, and I will supply deficiencies.

Text Any textual data included in the document Dear Madam New York. Dec 5. 1850. I can hardly hope, that you will excuse in me, what I cannot excuse myself; in the long delay of my answer to your polite letter. I must confess that I have had, from the very beginning of my literary career a decided aversion against all personal publicity. I succeeded for considerable time in keeping my person in the shade, declining all the requests in that respect of [F.?] Rassmann, Schindel and other editors of literary Biographies and works of that kind. At last, as one gets accustomed to every thing, I have suffered - not caused - to be [?] under my real name in the well known: Conversations Lexicon [Lexikon] der Gegenwart , [DE:?] Leipzig, Brockhaus 1840 (Continuation of F. Liebers Encyclopedia Americana) The details of my life as given there, are essentially correct; only the name given there as Adolfine, ought to be changed in: Albertine - if it is worthwhile to change such a trifling thing. May I refer you to this work, dear Madam? I have no doubt that it is to be got in Philadelphia and that, if you do not read German yourself, you can easily get it translated for you. However as this article was written more than ten years ago, I add the following details refering [referring] to the ten intervening years. They were in literary respect principally devoted to the study of American history. The result was a history of John Smith in [DE: the] F. Raumer's Historisches Taschenbuch, Brockhaus 1845 and a larger historical work on the Colonization of New England. (Geschichte der Colonisations von Neu England Leipz, Brockhaus 1847) The outbreak of the revolutions in Germany immediately afterwards, which destroyed of course for some time all literary interests operated against it and it may be said without vanity, that this book, which I consider as the best I have ever written, received [DE: from] by accidental circumstances less attention than it deserved; [DE: the] and it would have received at a more favourable time. The Germans, who know everything, [DE: h]are perfectly ignorant about the history of this country before the Revolution. I had a strong desire to make them acquainted with it and feel very much [DE: ?] disappointed. - My next publications were in the English language. The article on Slavic languages and literature refered [referred] to in the Convers. Lex. where it out to have been mentioned that it was originally written for and appeared in the Biblical Repository, a theological periodical, started by my husband, was revised [DE: ,] and partly rewritten by me and the history of the Slavic literature conducted to the present time; it was published under the title: Historical View of the Languages and Literature of the Slavic nations New York. Putnam. 1850. Immediately afterwards a small novel appeared: Heloise or the unrevealed secret N.Y. Appleton which it at the same time published in Germany under the title: Eigen sinn des Herzens. Another tale is printing now and will appear at Appletons: "Life's Discipline, a tale of the Annals of Hungary. With perfect esteem I remain my dear Madam Therese Robinson.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Providence R.I. 30th June, 1851 My Dear Mrs Hale, I received your very kind letter just as I was stepping into the carriage on my way to Providence R.I. I am but half convinced in regard to my article, but do e'er as you will in the matter and I will be content. At least I wish you would try to send me an entire copy as it comes out, that I may join the fragments. I write this in my chamber at the house of Rev. Dr Hedge, (author of the Prose Writers of Germany) where I am spending my time most happily, and where the Providence people are doing everything to make me in love with them. Tomorrow night I am to [lecture?], with the prospect of a very fine audience. I congratulate you upon the progress of your great work. I know your [?], and I know also your generous appreciation of the labors of others, and I do not doubt it will be very popular. My health is good, and the more the kindness with which my two audiences have received me, gives me a [?] hope that I will find this field a desirable one to me. Still I have not the least [petty?] ambition to be called popular, I [say?] my [say?] [correctly?] as I feel, and shall retire at any time without discomfort let the indications be what they may, God has been pleased to bestow upon me great freedom of nature, that in following indications of any kind, I [?] {?] in so doing, and every [?] I find this [powers?] of being [?], the results I trust will be good if not great to others - for myself I ask nothing, expect nothing. I am a child of God's will, following in his way. My beloved Valentine has gone to his friends at the [east?], where he writes me he is improving in health. I, of course had no time to see Mr. L[?], so fear I shall not be able to do so before autumn. If you write him will you, please ask him to send me a copy of my portrait, addressed Portland, Maine, Care of Hon. [DE: Judge][Ashur?] [?]. I shall be there most likely next week. Would you be willing to let me see what you say about me? I wrote to Mr [Hart?], who sent to me about his book, but have not heard from him in acknowledgement. Do you know I sometimes feel [?] vexed at the cavalier manner with which I am treated by editors and publishers in Philadelphia or [?] with the cordial appreciation, and interest of the highest order of intellect in every other part of the country. I am no toady, and would be unwilling to think that spirit commendable [or?] [essential?] in your region, and being unburdened with fussy and selfish ambition, being also quite [?] of my position, I bide my time with composure. I look back upon my hard struggles with a shudder - I wonder that I am alive, and the fact that I am so, and that I am strong, {ED: crease in paper obscures writing]is proof that a field is before me, broader and better than I have hitherto occupied. I have seen Mrs. [Wh?] here with much interest - Mr. Davis the lecturer and I might go to see Mr. [Hall?](?) [Mrs?] Burgess, a woman of [some?] literature, and more wealth, and allied [?] of the most accomplished scholars of the day, as well as a little [?] of others, esteemed here.

Title A name given to the resource Daniel Webster Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thomas Ball Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1853 Description An account of the resource Standing figure of Daniel Webster, facing forward with head turned slightly to left. High prominent forehead, deep set eyes and stern mouth. Subject is depicted wearing a tail coat, with his right hand tucked into his coat above his waist. A draped architectural element is depicted to the right of the subject along with two books; the drapery over the architectural element continues around the rear of the base behind the figure. Incised on back of base: T Ball Sculpt / Boston Mass / 1853. Daniel Webster (1782- 1852), American Statesman, was born in Salisbury, New Hampshire. Aspiring to but never attaining the Presidency of the United States, Webster's political career included terms as a Congressman, Senator, and Secretary of State. His eloquence as a speaker and writer, however, earned him the widest renown.

Nichols obtained the copyright to reproduce this popular statuette, making it one of the earliest examples of mass-produced American sculpture.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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.

She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Lisbon Dec. 27, 1853 Dear Madam, I yesterday received your kind letter of June last, together with the beautiful volumes of which it speaks. The Queen for whom one of them was intended is you you are aware, dead. I shall, however, immediately send the volume to the afflicted King. Her Majesty, of whom you speak as the granddaughter of Don John II, was the granddaughter of John VI, and inherited many of his traits of character. You have paid none too much of her virtues. [In early?] life she was beautiful, with a very fair German complexion and a graceful form. Her education education had been careful and suitable when exalted rank and from the day she ascended the throne till her lamented death the royal Household was a model of purity and propriety. The spectacle of grief which the capital has exhibited, since her decease, is a beautiful tribute to her illustrious merit as a woman and a queen. I expect, Madam, to enjoy the perusal of the much valued volume for which Mrs Haddock desires me to present to you her most sincere thanks, not only as a work of talent and learning honorable to your sex, but as a contribution of New Hampshire to the Literature of our country. Though I have not had the honor of a personal acquaintance with you, I am not ignorant of your exertions for the improvement of society and the [?]patation of our native state. We have labored together, without meeting, and cherish, without having interchanged, the same sentiments of patriotism and pride as citizens of the same noble commonwealth. Mrs Haddock unites with me in most respectful and grateful regards. I am very sincerely Your obedient Servant C.B. Haddock Mrs. S.J.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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.

The natural kindness, patience, as well as the superior acquaintance of woman with the infant mind, and the [farer?] character of her sympathy with the youthful and sensitive hearts, qualify her [DE?: better] for the duty of teaching, and not less for the development of the moral, than of the intellectual qualities: I am glad that you have called the attention of congress to this subject; for although, owing to the peculiar constitution of the Committee of Public Lands in both houses, it is not likely that favorable action will be had at the present Session, there is reason to believe that the public have viewed the proposition with more than usual favor; - and I need not say, if the public once adopt it, the politicians will soon discover its merits. I have the honor to be very respectfully your ob st James Cooper Mrs. 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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 147 East 18th [St.?] May 2d 1854 My dear Madam I owe you an apology for not sooner answering your letter received some days since, but I have been very much engaged for the last week, I shall be most happy to render you any assistance in my power, and though my time will be fully employed during the month of May, yet the summer months in our quiet little cottage at Rhinebeck will give me leisure to comply with your request. I can furnish you with sketches of the lives of Mrs. Wesley and Mrs. Fletcher, and I would suggest another name [?] in the Annals of Methodism in this country. It is that of Catherine Garrettson, daughter of Judge Livingston, sister of Chancellor and Edward Livingston, and sister-in-law of General Montgomery, General Armstrong [etc.] She married one of the early Methodist preachers, having joined the Society for Rhinebeck, when there were but two other members. She died in 49 at the age of ninety seven - having lived for fifty years in the beauty of holiness - She was a woman of strong mind and great force of character, and as she was my mother's aunt I could readily furnish you with a sketch of her history. The sister too, Mrs. Montgomery, deserves a place in your record I hesitate somewhat about naming to you those who are still living, though I believe those who have written most are my friends and neighbors - I know they would shrink from honorable mention being made of their names. Mrs. Margaret Otherman Stevens, wife of Rev Abel Stevens, editor of the National Magazine, writes easily and well, and I will see what I can gather up of hers. I will make some enquiries too about the wives of our missionaries. I do not leave town till the last of May or the beginning of June, and I shall be very happy to see you on or before that time, and will be pleased to confer with you on this subject. I have been very much interested in Woman's Record and I think it a most valuable publication and one worthy of the labor you have bestowed upon it. With high respect I am very truly yours Julia M.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Washington 11 Jany 1851 My dear Madam - I hardly know what you must have thought of receiving no answer to your friendly letter of the 2d Novr, but when I tell you that it has only now accidentally fallen into my hands, you will at least believe that the neglect has not been intentional. A short time ago I returned from Habana - and as during my absence, the house occupied by this Legation had been changed - there may probably have been some confusion in the delivery of the letters - Although Mr. de Calderon does not recollect it, I think that amongst his extensive correspondence, he may have inadvertently opened this letter in my absence - and feeling it was not for him, put it aside. In short no one can explain the circumstances - but I found it amongst other papers opened - and no portrait within it - This is what most disturbs me - as it may I fear, put you to very serious inconvenience. My sister who was here at the time - and in all the confusion of moving - furnishing &c [etc.] says she is convinced she saw the letter - but of the portrait knows nothing. I shall have a thorough search made for it - but in the meantime I thought it better to write and explain to you the circumstance without any further delay. Now my dear Madam with regard to your kindness in considering me worthy of a place in your work, I truly think that I am not entitled to it - but should you continue of a different opinion, I must while expressing my sense of the honor you confer upon me, entreat you to say as little personally of me as possible. Before I wrote "Life in Mexico," I had published various things, of which no one ever knew me to be the Author - or perhaps ever will - and it was only at the urgent desire of Mr. Prescott, that my name in initials was put in that book. Since then I have been brought forward in reviews, and become more accustomed to see my own name in print - but I think the life of a living person can be but a mere sketch - and containing a few facts - at least I speak of a person as undistinguished as myself - As for family, my father was a descendant in the female line from the Earls of Buchan - his grandmother being Lady Frances Erskine daughter of the Earl married to the celebrated Col. Gardiner who fell at Preston- Pans [Prestonpans] - and is the Col. Gardiner of Walter Scott's Waverly. My Grandmother was their daughter - and I was called Fanny Erskine after Lady Frances, who was celebrated both for her beauty and for her correspondences with Dr. Doddridge and other celebrated divines of the day. The pictures of Colonel and Lady Frances Gardiner hung in our school-room when we were children in Scotland, and are amongst my very earliest recollections - when my father lost his fortune, we went to France, and lived there in retirement in an old house in Normandy for several years - when we all removed to America - For [DE: five] six very happy years I assisted in the labors of the school in Boston - and was then married to the Spanish Minister and went to reside in Washington - In the year 1840 he was named to Mexico - where we passed two years very delightfully - and when my husband was recalled during the Regency of Espartero, we returned to the U.S. staid there a few months - and then sailed for Europe - visited Paris, London, Edinburgh - near which I spent one melancholy day in revisiting our old country place, now in the hands of strangers - we then went to Madrid where we spent a winter - and Mr. de Calderon being again named Minister to the U.S., we returned here in the year 44 - And have resided in this Country ever since. During these last seven years the most remarkable event that has happened to me, is that after three years of very hard study, I have become a Catholic - with a thorough conviction of having [DE: arrived?] embraced the true Faith. You see my dear Madam that the outline of my life is not particularly interesting - with with regard to a portrait, there is one of me in oils in Baltimore, which is said to be very like. A daguerreotype was taken from it some time ago, but was a complete failure, - we can however have it tried again, and if it succeeds, I shall have the pleasure of sending it to you - Your work embraces such an extensive period, and must be so voluminous, that I do not suppose my delay in answering your letter can be of any real consequence - but the portrait you mention as having sent within the letter must be of real importance - and I [am?] really distressed about its disappearance. I have written very hurriedly, that I might not miss this day's Post - and shall only add that I am dear Madam truly yrs Fanny Calderon de la Barca I re-open my letter to say that to my great joy, I have found the portrait! - and enclose it.

Description An account of the resource Paul Beck, Jr. (1760-1844), was a distinguished Philadelphia merchant and philanthropist. Appointed to the post of Port Warden, Beck helped to improved the city's shipping facilities and was instrumental in building a canal to connect the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. Among the many charitable institutions served by Beck was the Ludwick Institute, founded in 1801 as a free school for poor children. For many years its vice president, Beck bequeathed to it a property at 6th and Catharine Streets. In 1859 the Institute removed to that site (which became known as the Beck School House) and soon after it commissioned this portrait. Executed by Thomas Sully (1783-1872) in 1860, this portrait was copied from an earlier one he had painted in 1813. An Athenaeum shareholder from 1818 to 1822, Sully was Philadelphia's leading portraitist. His canvases show a fine use of colors and textures, as well as an attention to detail. In this example he has included a biographical accessory, the gold snuff box given to Beck in 1812 by Major William Jackson (1759-1828), once personal secretary to George Washington. The Ludwick Institute has long met at the Athenaeum and a majority of its managers are usually also directors of the Athenaeum.

I know how full your time and thoughts must needs be, and give you credit accordingly for the heed you are willing to pay to my interests. 1st then, your paper - which is excellent is enclosed & directed to Judge Kent. 2nd it is now the 8th of Feby. & no appearance of the Feby no of the L. Book. The Jan 7 number came in December. As I said before, it is a necessary of life, for how are we to know how to think & dress without your pretty pictures & stories? - 3d I enclose to you a note to these people & am & shall be exceedingly obliged to Mr Godey for any thing he can do towards ascertaining whether I get any thing for my Stories twain. I am aware, by the terms of the advertisement that if I have had no prize awarded my stories are not to be returned. Still as they may also think them, entirely worthless I shall be glad that they should come back to their natural parent.- In such a case if Mr Godey can get them & send them I shall of Course refund his expenses, [DE: the] & hold myself ready to do my politest thing for him in return - The titles are, "Rushtow," - and "The belles of the Revolution." I think you told me you were a daughter of the Episcopal church - I can, in that case congratulate you on the accession of a new disciple, who will doubtless in turn come to be a Teacher & Bishop among you - [?] Docr Huntington, viz: - he has applied to Bishp Eastburn for orders - That is the most we talk about in Cambridge: - As every body supposed, Prof. Felton [DE: would] is to be President. I believe I told you that ondit about Mr. Everett? - That he was engaged to Mrs Gorham Brooks - but I dont know as it is true - & considering his wife is scarcely cold, it seems premature, to say the least. - Cambridge is Such a place for no gossip! On half starves for want of a healthy appreciation of one's neighbors affairs - - Indeed every body professes to be occupied with their own. Which means, freely translated "I can go into Boston when I want amusement, which is easier than to be meddling with my neighbors kitchen" Yes, poor Mrs. Comegys! but - do you know, I do not think she can Succeed here by any possibility - I only hope she will not get involved. Thank you for inquiring for my children. Frank is in Horace Grays office learning to be lawyer, & John is junior. You can fully understand how much pleasure I must have in my children's success & how much anxiety, that only a mother knows, keeps me wakeful at night, & watchful in the day - May the Lord keep this city, & then the watchmen will not [wake?] in vain. I am very glad you have quite recovered. May your life & usefulness be long spared! Adieu - CAH. Mrs. Sarah J. Hale. Care of Louis A Godey Esqr. Philadelphia.

Text Any textual data included in the document Cambridge June 18 My dear Mrs Hale I have not written to you to say how much I have felt for you, for I know that silent sympathy is a great comfort; and also because I did not know your daughter. My own grief too has perhaps occupied me too exclusively. But I have thought I might do better than to talk to you. That I might perhaps assist you a little, now that you must sometimes feel inadequate to the perpetual tax on your brain, of a monthly periodical. If I can do so, in the same measure, as I have hitherto done, by a few fitting words for the Editor's table. I hope you will allow me to do so. You will be sorry to hear that Mrs. Salma Hale is at Somerville, & that she will not probably leave the Asylum again. At her age, improvement is very improbable, & before she left me her intellect was much deteriorated. She is quite happy at Somerville: was desirous to go there, & I think that both George & Sarah, now it is decided are much happier & more comfortable about her than they have been these last six years. We will not talk of our own sorrows. There are many keener ones all around us, which can not have the relief of sympathy, or the blessed consolations of memory. May God himself lay his hand softly on your wounded heart. He is indeed able to heal. With the truest sympathy, believe me yours, CAH. Mrs. Sarah J. Hale Care of L. A. Godey Esqr. Philadelphia. Penn.

Only a man & woman & a house. I thank you always for your kind interest. with affectionate respect yrs CAH.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Cambridge Nov. 19th My dear Mrs Hale, I wrote to you something like two weeks ago, enclosing a "Letter" such as you thought might be useful to you, for your Editor's Table. I hope it was what you wanted, and far enough removed from a puff to be a probable thing to receive. - I think it likely that my writing for the Lady's book occasionally & having it always on my center table may do its circulation no harm - & I assure you that I speak of its high tone with much less reserve than I write to you. Let me know if it answered your purpose. You asked me some time ago, if I wished to write an article for the Lady's book & I did not at the time reply to this question, because I had really nothing that I specially wished to say that you would care to insert. Since that, I have written a short article, (perhaps four or five pages [DE: on] my recollections of Margaret Fuller, Countess Ossili [Ossoli]. It speaks of her wonderful powers of intellect etc. and her underlying deep, affectionateness of character. She was with all her excentricties [eccentricities], & with all that we do not approve, a fine instance of womanly ability. In Europe, her reputation is higher than in her own country, & she is considered one of the representative women of America. It has struck me that this article might be what you want - if it is, please let me know. Since I wrote you last I have been literally rusticating for a week in the Country, in a house where not an individual except those belonging to it, went in or out. You cant [can't] think what a body & soul rest it has been to me. All day to hear the ticking of the clock, & my only variety, driving under the November sun through heeless [treeless?] woods. I have had no word from Mr. Childs of any kind. I hope you are very well, and I know you have reason to be contented with yourself & that your life has not been in vain. But a perpetual influence is needed of conservative good manners & morals, Your articles in the Home Weekly are very, very excellent. These words fitly spoken do a world of good - & more than you think while you write them. I must say goodbye, & write two more letters - a thing I used to like to do, I hate now to do - Affectionately Yours CAH You would like to know Mr. & Mrs. Wm A Howell's who live in Cambridge, Mr. H. is Editor of the Atlantic & recently returned to this Country from his Consulate in Venice - perhaps you have seen his book, "Venetian Life" which ran through its first edition in three weeks, - He is about as big as ninepence, & married a daughter of Larkin Mead, formerly of Chesterfield, father of the Sculptor Mead, Didn't you know him?

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Mamaroneck May 16th - 63 My dear Mrs Hale, I did not hear until yesterday of your loss, or I should not have been as late as this in offering my sympathy. Mrs Godey seems to think that it had been previously told me - but I have been so ill and not of the world that I had not heard it, - indeed I could scarcely believe that what I read was true. I had measured my life & health, as it were - by your daughters, as our illness was of almost the same date, If I had [?] [feverish?] it would be of like duration. But how merciful that she was called away "suddenly"-. No long wearing, racking decay, - In many instances of which I have witnessed among invalids the past three years, & until [?] and [soul?] cry out for rest & peace! And you have been spared that exhausting [?] watch of alternate hope and trembling fear. Truly it is merciful; for you know that to her the transition was all gain. I will not say, how sad for you my dear Mrs Hale. You have lived too long in the light, and have seen too many of life's transitions, to look on this as more than a short seperation [separation], - a going before, - and you surely have a strong arm now supporting you. One on which you leaned when you struggled so bravely to lead your children along the path of life in goodness & excellence, - One that will support and strengthen you, to the last trial of earth, - whatever else may be taken away. Mrs [?] Godey writes me that you bear up nobly, - and adds a fervent "God Bless her!" - with other words of the deepest sympathy and appreciation. I am sure you do, - and may you find in the tenderness of friends, and the filial piety of those of your children who remain, all the earthly comfort that can be given. Owing you more a daughter's respect & duty - Gratefully as of old Alice B Haven 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 Dear Mrs Hale - I sent you the Christian Era - Two numbers containing pieces I put in the paper with reference to Mrs Mason - She sent us quite a long document but I could not make the ladies think best to print it - I fear it would not have done much good for her opponents no doubt had determined beforehand what they would do at St Louis - They seem to handle our sister without gloves - they consider her insane & then make her answerable for all her acts & opinions. Do you see the Rangoon Times? Dr Mason writes much in that paper & at the time of the controversy he shew up things in their true light - In the end I think the board of the A.B.M. Union will be much ashamed of Mr Crop. Did you see by the Wachman [Watchman] & Reflector of June 1st that Mr Crop sent to the St Louis meeting a letter containing "a [?] list of heresies taught by Mrs Mason"? the board act to all appearance like men carried away by one side of an argument. Miss Bale has requested to write to you or Mrs Stevens, & I felt sorry when she told me lately that she had not done so. Of course I do not write officially but will just say that she had a meeting with reference to supporting Miss Marston some of the ladies think that she is working well others think she is not but our funds are so low that we voted that we could not sustain her - I do not know if the note has been sent to the New York Society - we are only a branch & have no authority about any one. Mrs Mason writes that the Eng. Government will aid in Miss M's support if requested. I regret that in Boston we are like a few conies in the wilderness - our society cannot flourish - one of our D.D.s told a member that she had better see where her money went. I called on Mrs Safford Deacon Saffords widow to see if she would not join us, but she had too many societies on hand already. We are just a few baptists. Would it not be well to insert in your interesting magazine - "We have accounts from time to time of the Boston Branch of our Missionary Society - "The meetings are held with Mrs Gould No 31 Boylston Street" - then if any one wished to make inquiries they could call to see me. We feel much interested in young Buttard some money ought to be collected to help him through college. I was much pleased with Mrs [Stevens?] remark in her letter which Miss Bake read me that she wishes she could support the Masons - I am glad that they have some support from Government. I have not written anything worthy of your perusal but have often intended writing to you. Mrs Doermas wrote Mrs Robinson our secretary to know if we would send a committee to meet one from Philadel, at New York, but we cannot do it as a society; some one might go on as an individual if the meeting ha not passed. Mrs. Richardson is the one who has had the greatest interest in our society from the beginning - She is a good christian - Happy are we if we maintain a humble walk with God in all the storms of life.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Cambridge Mar 29th My Dear Mrs Hale, The Lady's book came safely, & comes yet again for April. Thanks for your thoughtful kindness. You are always seeing what good thing you can do for one. I hope you will send to me whenever I can be any assistance to you so that I may not feel that I am a trespasser on the free list I wish you would tell me what you refer to, in the hints, that I lack - not but what I lack enough but what particular thing it is you mean, so that if the happy [time?] of a Second Edition should come I might avail myself of your wisdom. I went to Somerville last Saturday, to see our friend Mrs Hale. She was then confined to her bed - from the effect of a recent severe shock of paralysis - she could not speak distinctly, but knew me perfectly, & laughed & wept alternately. She is very nervous & has not much control over herself. I left her in a grand frolic at the idea of being sent to, for anecdotes of Salmon P. Chase. She said she could only remember that he was a very dirty boy. Yesterday I heard directly from her again, she was better, & able to drive out. She is very happy at Somerville and has every comfort & attention. George goes out every week to see her and is a most devoted & affectionate son to both father & mother. If you see the Atlantic, don't imagine for a moment that I wrote the article on Salmon Chase. I have been asked, I suppose because it was known that we were both from Keene, But I should not like to be considered the author & I think it must be painful to Chase to have his private feelings and affairs made the property of the public. We are engaged just now in an effort to form a Loyal Ladies League - the object being to prevent gold from being exported, as it now is, in large excess of what comes back. The luxury & extravagance of women in velvets laces silks & camel hair, involves this outgo of gold, & the consequent rise of the necessaries of life among the poorer classes. We hope to influence public & female opinion to some extent by presenting the inevitable & ruinous consequences of such a continuation - a year a year or two at most will find us all in the same category with our Richmond friends. Butter is 70 cents a lb as you may have heard. It really seems no time to sweep the streets with satin or to sparkle with jewelry. Your Lady's book will do much towards connecting good taste with economy in dress - & I know you will be on the side of the league & uphold it with all your efforts of hand & [?]. I think importations will be necessary - but importations of articles of luxury should at once be abandoned. Our financiers say that such a league formed & adhered to among women would reduce the price of gold 20 pr ct [per cent], in three months. Surely then it is a duty we owe to the country, to sacrifice personal vanity at least, to the end of the war. Always most truly yours CAH Pray write me your views on this subject - I think your Lady's book improves constantly, that is compliment enough - Mrs. Sarah J. Hale. Care of L. A.

Text Any textual data included in the document Philadelphia, Ap. 15th, 1864 My dear Mrs. Hopkinson- Your letter of March 27th has been unanswered because I could not find time to write all I wanted to say. - Enclosed is a notice of your "Hints" etc. written by a dear friend of mine - who would win your love - as you would hers were you personally acquainted. You will see this in the May no. of the L. B. - You ask me what[?] [?] & allude to: - my dear friend - I think you will understand what I am about to say as the tenderest expression of my hearts love to you - the heart of one woman, bereft of husband must beloved for towards [DE: to] another - a[DE:s] sister heart in these, the deepest [DE: illegible] sorrows that the [DE: sorrows] wounds of earthly affections can inflict. Those who are called to endure these must feel for each other almost like a second self. Thus I felt, when eagerly reading your book and noting its perfection of arrangement, style, reasoning and intelligent counsel to young mothers: all this was worthy of my friend, was worthy of my warmest commendation. But one lack came over my heart with such regret as I cannot express - only by [?]: - There was no Christ in your book! My dear friend, you will not feel offended with me, because you know I write this not to wound [DE: you], but because I love you with the [DE: deepest] warm sympathies of my soul. Jesus Christ was "made of a woman" - He [DE: is then,] showed [DE: ? a peculiar ?] Himself, while on earth the Friend of of our own sex. Jane [Jean] Ingelow, in her wonderful poem "Honors" [Honours] illustrated this "kinship"[DE: ?] is a [?] and [?] [DE: ?] [?] The love of Christ; faith in His sacrifice for us; [DE: and the] steadfast trust in Him for our salvation, and in His example and teaching for the wisdom that will not only make us [DE: as mothers able] [?] the important duties devolved on us as mothers- [?] The [DE: ?] source of all goodness in women. Faith in Christ is to [DE:?] woman what the "all-pervading and life-sustaining principle of heat" is to the material universe; without this aid from the true Light and Life. She [DE;?] cannot give light and life to her world of home. You will say I offer no reasons for my assertions; [?] [?] Faith is feeling - not reasoning. [We?] must 'believe in the Lord Jesus Christ," - believe that "The blood of [DE: Jesus] Christ cleaseth [ceanseth?] us from all sins" - because [DE: these?] the [DE: ?] Gospel teaches us These Divine truths, which transcend reason. Now, my dear friend, will you do me one great favor? Will you read over the [DE: Go] St. John's Gospel and his 1st Epistle, carefully and [?] # before you reply to this letter. [?] then answer me these two questions. 1st Do not this Gospel and Epistle of St. John bear witness that Jesus Christ is God in the sense of the Trinity? 2: If the Bible is the Word of God - a Divine Revelation, to [DE: man] for his religious [?] must not the [?]time of the Trinity be a Divine truth?

In my last chapter, I have endeavored to say what could not offend any sect. I did not consider that I had any right to instil [instill] my peculiar tenets. You say that I do not speak of Christ. But if I had done so would you [DE:?] not have been quite as much dissatisfied as [ED: the following text appears along the left side of the page] The notice you send is very kind. I should like to know Mrs L [?] very truly yours CA Hopkinson [ED: the following text appears upside down at the top of the page] How little you will think of me, when I tell you I am sure as ever of the war terminating gloriously for our country, & that God leads us as fully in the cloud as the pillar of fire, & that there will no peace but in freedom. as you are now? You would have missed the recognition of his Deity. It is better as it is. Before I "professed religion," which I did thirty-eight years ago, by joining a Unitarian church, I devoted not months, but years to the study of the Bible, & read with attention the best works on both sides of this vexed question. I came to the conclusion that the evidence was not in favor of the Trinity, but on the other hand, I am free to say, I cannot make up my mind as to the nature of Christ, from the various [evidences?]. Nor do I think it absolutely necessary that I should do so. In another world those things which are darkly hinted at, will be fully revealed. Meantime it is his character, his mission & his influence which concern us, rather than his nature which is mysterious if not miraculous. Perhaps you may think that it is important for parents to instil [instill] their peculiar religious tenets into their childrens minds, with their earliest religious training. Let every mother do as seems right to her own enlightened conscience. I shall not ask you to read any chapter or verse of the Bible. I have read one which says, "To his own master he standeth or falleth." I know you speak to me tenderly & mean most kindly, But one's religious tenets, are the last things I should venture to interfere with, so sure am I that each person has the strongest possible interest in the correctness of his own, I know you do not mean to hurt me, but is it is it possible that you do not perceive the imputation implied by your asking me to consult the Book by which all Christians profess to be guided? And have you so misread me, as not to see, that I have said so little on the subject, precisely that I might say nothing to offend, or pain, or interfere with the religious opinions of any one? That you could think, I have passed through the valleys of sorrow & climbed the mountains of desolation that, I have done without asking the tender pity of God & looking with gratitude at the example of Jesus as sustaining & precious - that you should address me as a woman living without God & unrecognizant of my Saviour, I confess pains & humiliates me, in proportion, to the estimate I put upon your friendship. Are words necessary to reveal a Christian character? Mrs. Sarah J. Hale. Care of L. A. Godey Esqr Philadelphia.

Description An account of the resource William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891), a career Army officer, served under General Ulysses S. Grant during the Civil War battle of Shiloh (1862). In 1864 he achieved his greatest military renown for his "March to the Sea" from Atlanta to Savannah, laying waste to the most populated area of Georgia by the extensive destruction of property. After the war Sherman became a lieutenant general. Following Grant's inauguration as President in 1869, Sherman succeeded him as Commander in Chief of the Army, a position he held until his retirement in 1883. The artist of these paired portraits of Grant and Sherman is unknown, but one of the frames bears the label of a Washington, DC, frame maker, suggesting that they may have been painted in that city.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Cambridge Feb 7th 1865. My dear Mrs. Hale, Your letter of Feb 5 is before me - I was glad to hear from you, & particularly that your health is better. Please take your own advice to me, & "dont work too hard" - for my part I have worked so many years, I should really be sorry to stop, & shouldnt know what to do with rest. You ask me where Miss Cunningham is? I only know that she is in S. C. - Miss Tracy the Secretary is at Mount Vernon & resides with the Herberts, who have charge of the place. There is to be a meeting of [ED: next portion of text is written along the lefthand edge of the page] One thing I must ask you to do, if you do not already do it, that is, to put my letters into the fire. I have long ceased to keep letters except of business - Always most truly yours, CAH. the Grand Council' the 22nd of Feb in Washington - perhaps she may be there although it is not likely. I hope thust she may see the fruit of her self denying labors & live to see Mt Vernon a garden of beauty. Wont people have got used to giving, so that at the end of the war, they will think it a mere trifle to take good care of Mt Vernon? I hope so. - I went last week to the M'Lean Asylum to call on Mrs Hale. But at 4 ock PM. she had retired for the night. The matron said she rose about 10, & went to bed at 3. Docr Tyler said she was rapidly failing in every way - & I confess it was with a feeling of relief that I drove away without seeing the wreck of so much youth, beauty, sense, animation & womanly grace, as has fallen under these deep waters. It is so sad to think of it. With regard to your question about the compensation for "letters on domestic economies" - I hardly know what to say. If you are satisfied with such sort of letters as the last, (which are written currente calamo & not even revised) I can write you one once in two months for the year to come without exhausting my quiver. I suppose they would not be worth more than half the same amount of matter in the shape of a story, which requires care in the arrangement, etc. - I have plenty of things to say, I assure you, if your readers want to hear me. If you decide to employ me in this way, I should be glad to know it at once that I may write & arrange my essays so as not to repeat myself, at least, and to be most useful to you. The type in which they will be printed allows the compression of one third more matter in a page of the Mage [Magazine?] than the type in the body of the book. - Make me an offer for six letters, & I will see what I can do at the price you offer, The Lady's book comes regularly, if it didn't, I dont know what my family would do. I think it is excellent, - Who wrote "Domestic Science in Schools for young ladies" in the January no? - it is good, So is your sketch of Mrs. Delany, wh[?]ther I learned to love in reading Miss Burney's life of herself. - Marion Haviland has much of the spirit of ASlice Haven, dont you think so? I wrote a notice of Miss Dodje's book (Gail H.) which I wish now I had preserved, wherein I spoke of her book as I thought it merited. Much of what she says is truly noble, much well deserved castigation - some rather coarse, & all prolix. But she writes from a full mind & is an addition to American literature - Mrs. Sarah J. Hale.

Mrs Hodge was so kind as to invite the child, but she was seized with a sudden illness which we feared would end in scarlet fever, and she could not see Minnie after that. Thank God it did not prove to be that fearful disease and she is now well enough to be out again to-day, for the first time, since the attack. I have found it impossible to form a "Band" [here?] for "Women's Mission to Women." Every Christian Woman in the wide world ought to take a deep interest in this Mission, but unhappily they do not.

I did not ask her for it, but on the contrary declined it, hoping she would give her Twenty; but she said it would not be convenient this year, as she had so many demands upon her purse and it would oblige her if I would add it to my contribution.

Never mind; I did not expect it at all, & by the rule of the old woman & her lottery ticket, ought therefore to have had it. Now for your second question. I do like the Home Weekly. What with your sense & mine, it is a good paper. There's modesty for you, but you see I keep behind your skirts. As to being 'a paper for the nation' thats another matter. The nation wont all take one paper, or they would all take the Lady's book of course - but it really seems to me a very fair paper, & he has secured a variety of agreeable talent. What do you think? Now it is your turn, & I wont tell. Now, what a much you must like me, - you have done me so much good. They say we do like those we benefit, & you have been so really kind in finding employment for my pen - but you do love to do kindnesses, and so do I - it is a great luxury to ourselves, but not the less pleasant is it to feel that we are appreciated, & I assure you I do entirely appreciate the kind heart & the word in season, which has been so useful to me. I am glad to hear all about Horatio, & hope I may see him here in Cambridge, but how shall I know the bearded man, & how will he know the old lady? I never knew William but I can appreciate fully your anxiety & your present happiness. I was never separated from my children but by death. But I can conceive of nothing in life more wearing & harassing that such a separation as yours has been from William. I dont know whether you knew Dr Sparks & Dr Beck, both of whom have died, within the last week. Mr Sparks was here the Tuesday evening before his death, & spoke with much interest about Mr Hale, saying that he should go immediately to Somerville to see him, & adding some anecdotes of him. I thought it would be a sad pleasure to George to know it, but I fear Mr. Hale's own mind is in too fragmentary a condition to receive ideas with any connection. Oh how sad to live on, after the sweetness of life has gone! Dr. Beck was a noble spirit, full of liberality & animated patriotic interests - Old as he was 68 he enlisted with the Company which was ordered to defend the fort at Provincetown, & would have willingly served as a private if he had been allowed to do so. Not many men worth a half million would be ready to sweep the barracks & lie on bare boards, from sheer enthusiasm in the cause. - but he was ready with purse & [scrip?], with soul & arm at all times. The poor will miss him greatly here, - though his daughter inherits his liberality fortunately. Who is Nellie Hale who writes in the last Lady's book? any kin of yours? I hope your Benjamin & Joseph too will arrive safely in time in the land of Penn, & that all your sorrow will be swallowed up in joy. Yes, let us hope now for peace, but not for that kind which is no peace. a peace founded on the principles of eternal justice is all that will endure. Your Lady's book is excellent, & deserves its popularity, what more can be said? Mrs. Sarah J. Hale. Care of L. A. Godey Esqr Philadelphia.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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.

You asked me, in a former letter, if you could do anything to help me - Yes - if you feel inclined to write me a letter, that I may publish condemning [DE: ?] the "fatal facility" of [divorces?] in our land - the duty of every wife to consider marriage a sacred institution [DE: (it is the] safeguard of woman's honor and influence [DE: )] and herself one of its guardians and defenders.

"This [civil?] war" has not lessened but increased the number of marriages - as statistics show. -I have been told that many officers wives (young brides) are living in Boston, New York and other cities. This manner of living for the wife must absorb all the pay of the husband. When the war is over and the married couple begin life together, will there not be more room for disappointments and domestic troubles than if these wives had remained with their parents or friends and [DE: or even]in some useful employ and saved the money spent in idleness and gossip, (to give their manner of boarding life its least rebuke) for the dear home of their own which each wife should be anticipating?

And now my dear friend - what shall I say on the subject of our religion? Shall we take Jesus Christ for our Saviour Redeemer Judge and jury with [believer?] Thomas - "my Lord and my God?" Thus He is to me. Or call Him only the Teacher. Exemplar in human - sent to show men how to make themselves Teachers and Exemplars, and call Him, as I once heard Mr. W. Emerson "The peasant of Gallille"?- Can we [DE: ?] consistently call ourselves by the name of Christians and deny the Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ? He declared His Divinity and His power to save men from their sins, which only God can do. - "I and my Father are one." - "I am the bread of life." - I lay down my life for the Sheep." "I have power to lay it down and power to take it again." "I am the way, the truth and the life:"- "Before Abraham was I am."- "He that believeth in Me though he were dead shall live." - [DE: He?] "Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.""I pray for them also which shall believe in Me."- "If ye believe not that I am He ye shall die in your sins."- "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Thus Jesus Christ not only claimed to be one with the Father, but he claimed Divine honors with the Father. If he spoke truth He was one with God and was God. If He did not speak truth - then He was an imposter- and surely you would not take Him for a Teacher and Exemplar if you believed He had asserted what was not true. He must be our "Lord and our God" or we have no Saviour, [DE:?] no help, no hope.

You often speak of a wish to see me in Phil. - I now hope to be there for a few days in this month and shall try to be at the meeting of our society; but I will write to you more upon that subject by and by. I have kept that letter in order to influence a very rich lady - hoping to get her to give a large amount she is just left with a million & a half & is childless - I hope and shall greatly try to get in many ways donations for our society. I have not yet done very much, all the spring my health was very poor and I did not feel able for the task. And during the summer I have had a house full of company which have taken my time and strength. - If I have time before going to Phila. I will try and collect some for another box. - Darling friend - I wish I could sit by your side and press a warm kiss upon your dear lips as of old - Oh, I have so much to say to you - words I wish I could breathe into your dear sympathizing loving heart - How sweet your friendship has been to me how precious your words of sympathy and love, you can never know. - but you do know that I love you most tenderly. - Now dearest where can I begin - how can I write to you all I would whisper in to you ear. - "I would I were a bird" - but alas! now I must use the pen. You my precious friend know how tenderly & lovingly - how faithfully & devotedly I watched over [my?] dear departed husband. - I can say truly that from the time we were married until his death - both in health & sickness - I always most truly affectionately & devotedly watch over my departed one. - that in all my words and act & life I was a most devoted wife - & he you know always felt so. - and one of the last things he said to me - was "You are my wife and have always treated me as a wife should" - words that are written on my soul and are very dear to me. - My husband - the earthly part - lays in the cemetery here in Andover and it is sweet to feel that his soul is at rest in Jesus. - and also with trembling hope to feel, that in the hands of God I have been the means and at least a slight degree of bringing him in to the fold -. Oh! even amidst my sorrow I have had every thing to be thankful for. - my cup has all the way been full of blessings - unworthy indeed I am of so much love & so many mercies - My children are an infinite blessing and my little adopted one is one of the sweetest children I have ever known - she is almost perfect. When with her sweet little voice she says - "Mama dear is there any thing I can do for you" - or "If you wish any thing you speak [to?] me you know I love to do any thing I can for you" It some time brings the tears of gratitude into my eye - and I feel thankful she has learned so to love me. - You know that my husband has been dead but about two months [?] - but so far as his mind - his sympathy - and the power to advise & cooperate or aid in family matters you know he has been dead to his wife & children as his mind had become so inf[?]d - yet we loved him all the same and watched him even more tenderly - never until after he was taken to the Asylum with the exception of a few nights was he watched over by any one but Cousin Carry or myself - and then we [were?] where we could be spoken to any moment You know dear precious friend - what a warm loving heart I have - and yet that there are but few who have my confidence - You are one of "the few" while I have many many friends there are few who realy [really] know my heart. - When I came to Andover I was a stranger there was not a single person here I had ever met. - My health was very poor - I fell that I was so broken down from anxiety care & constant watching that I should never be what I had been - I felt that my days of usefulness were perhaps over, and that if I could take care of my children that I cared not to know any one - I did not even send to my Boston friend (with two exceptions) that I was here I feel sad - depressed - and lonely - I could not write - my time was spent in family cares & reading - Oh! I longed to lean my aching head & heart on so sympathizing loving bosom - & my prayer would be to Jesus that I might lean all - all on Him - and I felt thankful I had such a loving Saviour to rest on - one who had [?] with the sorrowing - & knew how to bind up the broken heart. - When I first came here I roomed in my own house but boarded oposite [opposite] as I could not have cooking done in my house, while I was making alterations. - she (Mrs Mather) had quite a family of boarders. - among them three Clergymen one a Mr. Allen (the brother of the Rev Mr. Allen of Philadelphia who assists in the church on Rittenhouse Sq.-) one a Mr. Blake - and the third a Mr. Ensworth. - It was a very pleasant family yet I took but little interest in any thing my health was so poor that I set up but very little save at my meals and then a great deal of the time in pain - altho' my friend did not know how miserable I was. - For I have always tried to conceal my feeling both of pain & sadness from most around me - ..- I therefore seemed very cheerful at the table - altho' at that time I feared I should live but a few months - Yet there was one there who's keen sympathy - and warm heart - (having heard of the great care - & sorrow which had been [wighing?] [weighing] me down for so many long months) - felt deeply for me and his whole heart was moved towards me - and the little fatherless ones that were centered in me. - he knew I was a stranger and all - all alone - we sat side by side at table about six weeks - and became better acquainted with each other than under other circumstances we should in many months. - We found our sympathies were the same, our opinions & feelings on most subjects were alike - and in truth we never tired of conversing together. - I supposing (having been told so) that he was engaged spoke as frankly, truly & unreservedly as to a married man. - But I will now tell you more of Mr. Ensworth - whose friendship was such a light to my dark path when I first came here - He is a native of the state of N.Y. - has been through collage [college] & studied law in Rochester - he practiced law six years - and then after having a very fine offer to go in as partner of [Senator?} Farrer & one of the Ed.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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.

Tuthill - 3.00 Mrs Woods Baker 2.00 [ED: line] $10.00 Do not think, my dear friend, that my interest in this noble Society has decreased because my contribution is less than it was last year. My charity- purse has had large demands for various objects, and the high price of living restricts my ability to contribute largely to many worthy purposes. I congratulate you and dear Fanny on the birth of her third son. I am glad to learn, [DE: that] from Mrs Hodge, that the mother is "doing well". No doubt you are au courant to all Princeton news. The last item, Alice Potter's engagement to Mr Lippincott of your city, excites much interest. He is an excellent young man, of whom every lady speaks well. - I trust this not involve the "[woe?]" denounced [upon?] such in the holy Bible! What frigid [zone?] snow we have had the past winter! The drifts in sight of us still, are like mountain waves. Notwithstanding the severity of the season [Laulie?] has been able to attend school constantly, and to pursue her studies with intense interest. I wonder, sometimes, why that interest does not flag, but it never does. We were all pleased to see our charming [?] here again and [DE: only] regreted that we had only a few glimpses of her during her brief visit to Princeton My dear friend, we are growing old, and ought to see each other more frequently. The friends whom we have known and loved are passing away "like leaves in wintry weather," and those still spared are exceedingly precious. When the Spring renders the country pleasant come and pay us a visit to make up for the short and unsatisfactory one, when the sudden departure of porr Mrs Harrison had cast a gloom over the large circle of your friends in Princeton I know the claims the public have upon you are imperative but has not the friendship of many years a claim that you will kindly acknowledge? Mary, Sarah and [Laulie?] jam in affectionate greeting to you, my dear Mrs Hale, and all of your household. Please give my best love to Fanny, and kindest regards to Dr Hunter.

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 Northwood in 1827. Northwood 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 The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (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 Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb 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 Charles Garnier Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Foundry mark: E. Gruet Jeune Fondeur Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1868 (circa) - 1869 (circa) Description An account of the resource Cast bronze portrait bust of Charles Garnier (1825-1898). Sculptural details such as Garnier’s unkempt curly hair and his disheveled clothing are indicative of sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s skill at infusing his works with spontaneity and naturalism. Architect Charles Garnier won the Paris Opera commission in 1861 over a field of nearly 200 contestants. Garnier and Carpeaux were friends, and Carpeaux executed many sculptural works for Garnier's finest building, the Opera. A version of this portrait bust greets visitors as they climb the grand stair of the Opera, and there is a third casting at the Louvre in Paris. Carpeaux was the most successful French sculptor of the mid-19th Century; he was widely recognized as the official sculptor of the Second French Empire.
