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

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

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

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 &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt;, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of &lt;em&gt;Mary had a Little Lamb&lt;/em&gt; 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).</text>

                  <text>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 &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; in 1827. &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; 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 &lt;em&gt;The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston&lt;/em&gt;, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; in 1827. &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; 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 &lt;em&gt;The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston&lt;/em&gt;, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt; (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 &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt;, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of &lt;em&gt;Mary had a Little Lamb&lt;/em&gt; 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).</text>

              <text>Philadelphia May 20. 1846&#13;
&#13;
My dear Sir - I fully intended to wait a fortnight&#13;
before answering your last letter, pleasant and welcome&#13;
though it was - because I know your&#13;
important engagements demand all your time&#13;
and attention, and I would not add to your&#13;
cares. - But I must scribble a note now,&#13;
the last Mexican news has so rejoiced me,&#13;
and I am sure you will sympathize in&#13;
my feelings. Perhaps you will not agree&#13;
in my opinion, that our Government has&#13;
done wisely and well in this matter, but&#13;
I am sure you have a true American heart,&#13;
and will be glad that Americans have&#13;
been victorious and [DE: that] our brave little&#13;
Army relieved from its perilous position.&#13;
But I must tell you a little of my own t[?]h.&#13;
We have just now, in our family, several&#13;
ladies and gentlemen who are naturally [desponding?];&#13;
and I have remarked that such are usually&#13;
"good whigs" - at any rate, these people, though&#13;
good friends of mine are "good haters" of the &#13;
President and all his works. When the&#13;
disastrous news reached us of the murder&#13;
of Col. Cross, the destruction of Lt. Porter&#13;
and his men, and the perilous position of &#13;
Col. Taylor, surrounded by the enemy and&#13;
&#13;
soon to be reduced by starvation, if not cut off in&#13;
attempting to escape from the enemy, it was&#13;
at once discovered by these good whigs, that&#13;
the Mexican had been vastly underrated, indeed&#13;
they now considered them formidable foes - and &#13;
then the yellow fever and all sorts of fatal&#13;
diseases were waiting to carry off the&#13;
volunteers, if they went - but they would&#13;
not go - the president and his [?] might go &#13;
themselves. Did you ever meet with people &#13;
wise enough (in their own opinion) to have &#13;
counselled Solomon? - and so infallible that &#13;
they could take a bull of the Pope by the horns?&#13;
Well, such were my friends, and all I had to &#13;
say was to beg them to wait - "bide the time."&#13;
In truth, though I had no doubt of the final success&#13;
of our army, I dreaded lest many of our&#13;
brave men might be cut off, as they went &#13;
in small detachments, to join Col. Taylor; - and tho&#13;
deaths of those who had fallen were most sad to &#13;
their families. The last thought ere I slept and&#13;
the first when I awoke was of my poor countrymen,&#13;
fighting or starving - and though I felt sure&#13;
of the final victory, yet the last week has seemed&#13;
to me very, very long. You will therefore understand&#13;
that I must [DE: be very glad] have rejoiced greatly to hear the&#13;
good news - especially as all those prophets &#13;
and prophetesses of [evil?] are rejoicing with me, &#13;
&#13;
and what would be strange, if we did not know&#13;
how easily people can, when they choose, shuffle off&#13;
their own opinions. These good people seem all to&#13;
have anticipated the very course Col. Taylor has taken,&#13;
and they are so proud of their brave countrymen!&#13;
- I have run on, as though you had nothing to do&#13;
but decipher my scribblings - pray do not waste &#13;
any time with a hieroglyph. -&#13;
I enclose a copy of "The Farewell," with the &#13;
last corrections and improvements. - Is it not a &#13;
little better than when you sent it?&#13;
My daughter has been in Princeton with her&#13;
sister for the last fortnight, and I am very&#13;
busy, preparing my volume of poems. I miss&#13;
your kind assistance very much; and in the&#13;
additions I have made to "The Sabbath and its Rest"&#13;
feel often quite at a loss for advice or encouragement.&#13;
I am very glad my last letter has &#13;
elicited the information, which otherwise I might&#13;
never have received, of the course you are pursuing&#13;
with your workmen. It is noble, patriotic,&#13;
just what is wanted to make the onward&#13;
course of our country in wealth and physical&#13;
prosperity permanently blessed as well as lasting.&#13;
I think that in our Republic, if no where else,&#13;
[DE: that] the poor and ignorant are under the&#13;
especial guardianship of the rich and intelligent,&#13;
&#13;
that the latter should set such examples as they&#13;
desire to have the former follow. If every man&#13;
at the head of a large establishment, either mercantile&#13;
or manufacturing, would do as you are doing, there&#13;
would be no doubt of the beneficial influences&#13;
which wealth, in the hands of companies or corporations&#13;
might confer. - But in our great country there &#13;
is room for all and every profession and pursuit.&#13;
all may prosper and do good - if those who direct&#13;
the energies of the people are honest, just, and good.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Miss Lowry has returned - but I have not seen&#13;
her - the H, House is very thin just now - and&#13;
dull, they say. When are you intending to return?&#13;
Or do you propose fixing your residence&#13;
in Allentown? - Pray give a distinct name to your&#13;
place - What shall it be? Your friend ever, S.J.H&#13;
Mr Wilson&#13;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

              <text>Troy July 03 1839&#13;
&#13;
My Dear Aunt&#13;
&#13;
Your last favor came&#13;
safe to hand although not in due season&#13;
for I had been waiting very impatiently 4 or&#13;
5 weeks. - "but better late than never"&#13;
I had&#13;
heard of the death of Cousin David&#13;
Sometime previous to the receipt of Your&#13;
Letter. - he was a person, I had never&#13;
seen or had the pleasure of associating with&#13;
consequently no opportunity of forming&#13;
those ties of friendship which links man&#13;
with his fellow man - but in the event&#13;
of his death, it seemed to me as&#13;
if I might count one Friend less,&#13;
because of the near alliance of affection&#13;
existing between You and him. - was he&#13;
your friend he was mine also. - [DE: one?]&#13;
[DE: and] inseparable, - I have "Tears&#13;
for other woes" if I have not "Patience&#13;
for my own"&#13;
Sister Martha was &#13;
in Troy on a short visit, at the&#13;
time I received your last Letter&#13;
we called at Doct Hale's a short time&#13;
&#13;
one evening&#13;
I done more visiting while&#13;
Sister was here than I had done all the&#13;
time I had been in Troy. I make ni&#13;
call on acquaintances only when they are&#13;
necessary. I have but little time to&#13;
attend to such things and quite as &#13;
little inclination&#13;
My health for the &#13;
last two months has not been [DE: quite]&#13;
quite as good as I could wish, but&#13;
I have no one to blame but myself -&#13;
for the last Year, I have confined&#13;
myself too close - the Store is opened &#13;
in the morning about [6?] O clock. I get &#13;
there about 6 1/2 and from that time&#13;
until it closes at night (at 10 or&#13;
after frequently) I am not out except&#13;
1/2 an Hour and each meal - after&#13;
business is done I go to my room -&#13;
direct set my lamp at a convenient&#13;
and safe distance from the Bed - get&#13;
into Bed raise my Head with pillows&#13;
as high as possible and commence&#13;
reading and read as long as I can&#13;
keep awake - it is sometimes 1&#13;
and often 12 before I [DE: O] sleep. it is&#13;
not unfrequently my sleepy [Chum?] very gruffly&#13;
bawls [DE: ?] "do for Heaven's sake blow&#13;
that light out" but blow it out&#13;

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

&#13;
Dear Aunt &#13;
&#13;
Yours of Febry 23/42&#13;
reached me in due season&#13;
I mean in due season after&#13;
it was mailed. I intended to have&#13;
answered it sooner, but, be it know&#13;
I, too, am at times so much&#13;
engaged that I cannot get&#13;
time to write. I did not&#13;
wish to write you, until I &#13;
had settled in my mind&#13;
what I should do, and how&#13;
I should be situated for a&#13;
year to come - I am now&#13;
settled. I have changed&#13;
my employers. - dont be alarmed&#13;
- they wished to have be stay&#13;
but I had a very good offer &#13;
from Mr Brewster, a brother to&#13;
my old employers - and&#13;
with the advice of my friends&#13;
I accepted - he does not &#13;
to as large a business as the&#13;
firm that I was with but&#13;
I have a better opportunity to become&#13;
acquainted with the business&#13;
which I intend to follow&#13;
- had the prospects for commencing&#13;
business been flattering&#13;
I should have commenced&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
for myself, but I have a very&#13;
good sallary [salary] and my sallary [salary]&#13;
is better than the [DE: the] profits of many &#13;
of the merchants - another spring&#13;
will in all probability be big with&#13;
the event of my name blazing&#13;
forth to the world in "Letters of&#13;
gold"- leaf - on a [fine?] board&#13;
over the door of a Retail -Dry-Goods-&#13;
Shop-&#13;
I had a Letter from each &#13;
of my sisters a short time since&#13;
- they were both well - they&#13;
wished to be remembered to &#13;
their Aunt and cousins - Sister&#13;
M - feels much indebted for&#13;
Cousin Franks Letter - and&#13;
will very probably answer it&#13;
in very much the same&#13;
way -&#13;
Coz Frank I hardly &#13;
know what to say to you&#13;
- I have it now - I'll just&#13;
say nothing at all - I'll&#13;
not tell you any thing about&#13;
Judge [Buell's?] family - that&#13;
Coz Charlotte is considered quite&#13;
handsome and has a good many&#13;
"Beax [Beaux]" and so on - that [?]&#13;
will be ordained in June, and&#13;
then go south and teach until&#13;
his health is better - that John&#13;
is at home and comes to see&#13;
me, very often - that the&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Seminary goes as usual and&#13;
Mrs W. - is as pleasant as ever -&#13;
that Miss Mary Dodd had returned&#13;
from the west - that [June?] [Lincoln?]&#13;
still graces the boards - that&#13;
Miss Mary Poulton sings most charmingly&#13;
and [DE: ?] is quite handsome&#13;
- and Miss Marion Stafford do'&#13;
- no - I will tell you none&#13;
of the news, without you write to me&#13;
Cousin Josy - wrote me&#13;
a long Letter, a short time since&#13;
- she was in her usual good&#13;
spirits - and said she could tell&#13;
me [?] stories with as good&#13;
a grace [?] - she [?]&#13;
not to forget our trip to [?]&#13;
and how sociable I was on &#13;
the Steam Boat, both going&#13;
and coming - reading&#13;
newspapers all the way - [ED: page damaged, possibly she]&#13;
also thinks she has profited by&#13;
the frequent Lectures, which&#13;
Cousin Frank and I used&#13;
to give her&#13;
You state that you&#13;
Expect Coz Horatio home in&#13;
June - I hope you will&#13;
be so fortunate - I would like&#13;
to see him, very much&#13;
I would be very glad&#13;
to visit you at Philadelphia&#13;
but cannot - I must spend all&#13;
my spare time with my Sisters&#13;
&#13;
this season - I would like &#13;
to go and see Cousin Josy, but&#13;
I cannot - I had a Letter&#13;
from Coz Wm E Hale - a short time&#13;
since - &#13;
Ever Your Affectionate&#13;

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

              <text>Albany Sep 16. 1850&#13;
&#13;
My dear Madam&#13;
&#13;
I received your letter&#13;
to-day &amp; would be happy to aid you in&#13;
this or any other literary matter, as&#13;
far as I am able. I do not know how&#13;
extended an account you wish of Miss&#13;
Sewell I will [?] give you what&#13;
maybe a sufficient outline for your&#13;
purpose.&#13;
I was well acquainted &#13;
with Miss S. when in England in 1845,&#13;
&amp; have since had the pleasure of a constant&#13;
correspondance [correspondence] with her. Her&#13;
name is Elizabeth M. Sewell ( I do &#13;
not know what the middle letter stands&#13;
for.) Her family is one of great respectability,&#13;
residing at "Sea View Cottage," BonChurch,&#13;
near Ventnor, in the southern part &#13;
&#13;
of the Isle of Wight. Her father has been dead &#13;
some years: her mother died about a year since.&#13;
She has two brothers, one a barrister in London,&#13;
the other, the Rev Wm Sewell AM. Fellow of Exeter&#13;
Coll. &amp; Prof. of Moral Philoy in Univ. of Oxford.&#13;
The first publication about 7 years ago, was&#13;
"Stories on the Lord's Prayer". Wh. came out anonymously.&#13;
Then "Amy Herbert," wh. attracted &#13;
great notice &amp; has been through several editions&#13;
in England &amp; this country. II. "Gertrude".&#13;
III. "Margaret Percival [Perceval]" 2 cols. IV. "Laneton&#13;
Parsonage" 3 vols. V. "The Earl's daughter."&#13;
Besides these she wrote "Walter Lorimer," the&#13;
1st story in "The Sketches" - (the other two stories&#13;
being furnished by Prof. Sewell &amp; Rev. [?] Adams,&#13;
author of "The Shadow of the Cross"). The last&#13;
publication is "Is it a Dream?" - a small&#13;
vol. published anonymously and not reprinted&#13;
in this country.&#13;
The great object of her works is to &#13;
advocate Church principles. Thus, "Amy Herbert"&#13;
us devoted to the subject of baptism &amp; Laneton&#13;
Parsonage to that of Confirmation. Few writers&#13;
&#13;
writers have had so extensive a circulation in this &#13;
country.&#13;
I do not know of any portrait or engraving&#13;
of Miss S. nor did I ever see one in &#13;
England or at their own house.&#13;
I regret that the application was&#13;
not made to me some months ago, when&#13;
I could have procured from England all the&#13;
information you desired. Perhaps however&#13;
this outline will enable you to write as&#13;
extended a notice as you wish. If I can&#13;
be of any further use to you in this matter&#13;
command my services.&#13;
There is one way in wh. sometimes&#13;
I may aid you in your literary labour. I have&#13;
control of the literary department of the &#13;
"Albany State Register" a political paper&#13;
established here last spring by the Hon.&#13;
DD Barnard (now appointed minister to [Rumania?])&#13;
Hon John C, Spenser - Hon JA Collier &amp;&#13;
I took it at that request of these gentlemen&#13;
&#13;
who wished, (a new feature in a political&#13;
paper) to have a distinct literary department.&#13;
As it is the organ of Pres. Fillmore&#13;
in this state, it has a wide circulation&#13;
among the highest class of men &#13;
&amp; a notice of a book may be useful there&#13;
I will send you a couple of Nos. that &#13;
you may see it. I have occasionally&#13;
noticed your periodical when sent me&#13;
by booksellers here.&#13;
Perhaps sometimes I may aid &#13;
you in its notices. If so, let me know&#13;
&amp; it will afford me pleasure to do so.&#13;
Yours respectfuly [respectfully]&#13;
W. Ingraham Kip&#13;
&#13;
Mrs Hale -&#13;

Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839).</text>

              <text>Columbia So. Ca. Feb. 27th&#13;
1848&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs Hale&#13;
&#13;
Well pleased was&#13;
I last night to see once more your handwriting -&#13;
and hear from you - after so long an&#13;
interval of silence. I did not know&#13;
your whereabouts exactly - or I&#13;
should have claimed a place in your&#13;
recollection ere now. You have been&#13;
very loco motive for some years past&#13;
at least so I was informed - and so &#13;
all my communications to the Lady's&#13;
Book were addressed to the laconic&#13;
Mr Godey. I am happy to hear you are&#13;
stationary in Phila. and promise&#13;
myself the pleasure of spending some&#13;
days there in the early part of the&#13;
summer. It will indeed be delightful&#13;
to listen to your plans - and talk over&#13;
various matters of interest: - besides seeing&#13;
you again - and my dear friend Mrs&#13;
Davenport - the sister of the sweetest aunt I&#13;
have in the world.&#13;
&#13;
With regard to the object of your&#13;
letter - it will give me great pleasure&#13;
to contribute to any annual edited by&#13;
you - and as soon as my muse is&#13;
propitious - I will send you some verses.&#13;
Just at present I have nothing written&#13;
except a translation of Lamartine's &#13;
"Mother's Grave" - and Baranger's&#13;
"Shooting Stars." I suppose you would &#13;
rather have something original - even&#13;
of inferior merit! The weather just&#13;
now is not very favorable to poetic&#13;
inspiration - or I would essay today -&#13;
I wish you had given me a &#13;
subject.&#13;
Mrs Gilman writes [me?] she&#13;
is preparing another volume of Oracles&#13;
from the Poets - with new questions&#13;
I am here so far out of the way of &#13;
the current stream of literature, that &#13;
I can never catch even a sparkle: and&#13;
hear nothing of what is going on at the&#13;
north - except by the slight notices in &#13;
the newspapers. Have you any thing&#13;
in press or in petto?&#13;
There is an [aspirant?]&#13;
after literary rewards - of the solid kind&#13;
&#13;
in Columbia - whom I should like to &#13;
recommend to your kind aid - as you&#13;
see the publishers of periodicals frequently&#13;
I suppose. It is Marie, baroness von&#13;
Hassell - or Mrs Hassell - as she calls her&#13;
self here - teacher of a French school in this&#13;
place. She has followed the fortunes,&#13;
or rather misfortunes, of her husband&#13;
to this country - where they have to toil&#13;
for daily bread - after having been &#13;
used all her life to the [highs] of society&#13;
in Germany. She is in correspondence&#13;
with a reigning duchess - and several&#13;
of the nobility - but bakes - brews -&#13;
scours and teaches music as if she&#13;
had been born to them all. She has&#13;
translated some tales and sketches&#13;
into English: (which I have correcte)&#13;
some have been published in the&#13;
Democratic Review - and others are on&#13;
hand. One account of "A Royal Marriage"&#13;
from ms. letters of her friends in the service&#13;
of the Duchess d'Orleans - I sent to &#13;
Mr Godey - who handed it to Mr Peterson.&#13;
I have not heard if he has&#13;
accepted it. If you could dispose &#13;
of any mss. for her - you would be &#13;
doing a charity to a very deserving&#13;
person. The Phila. weeklies perhaps&#13;
would like her articles&#13;
&#13;
A Mrs Rose from New York has bee&#13;
here a few days - and intends lecturing&#13;
on Education. She brought letters to&#13;
the venerable College President, Mr&#13;
Preston - but he is just now in&#13;
Washington - and another lady, to&#13;
whose politeness she is consigned&#13;
came for me yesterday to call&#13;
upon her. She is a Pole by birth -&#13;
evidently possessing talents for lecturing&#13;
highly educated - and "darkly -&#13;
deeply, blue." I am told &#13;
she is a natural clairvoyant - and &#13;
can judge of letters by feeling the paper -&#13;
but have as yet been no specimens of &#13;
her powers. Apropos des bottes -&#13;
is your sober city inclined to receive&#13;
mesmerism? We have had a professor&#13;
of the science - Dr Webster - here all&#13;
winter - who has been performing&#13;
the most wonderful cures - exhibiting&#13;
miracles of clairvoyance - and&#13;
teaching all who were zealous of&#13;
knowledge to the amount of ten dollars&#13;
to do likewise. All who receive his&#13;
lessons are bound by a written &#13;
pledge of secrecy. He claims to have&#13;
gone deeper into the matter than any&#13;
one else - and to have rivalled Harvey&#13;
in his discoveries.&#13;
I am somewhat &#13;
hurried this morning - and must deny&#13;
myself the pleasure of a longer chat -&#13;
Adieu - my dear Mrs Hale - believe me&#13;
ever your affectionate friend&#13;
E.F. Ellet&#13;
&#13;
please send the enclosed &#13;
late valentine to the &#13;
Post office.&#13;

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

              <text>New-York March 2d 1836&#13;
&#13;
My very dear friend.&#13;
&#13;
I do not know how you will receive&#13;
this letter as I have deferred so long to answer&#13;
yours, and I feel that I owe you an ample apology.&#13;
But the only one I can give is that I would&#13;
not write you until I could give you some&#13;
encouragement relative your books. I have not,&#13;
however, succeeded to my wishes, I cannot&#13;
find any one who will purchase the one or subscribe&#13;
to the other. There are several who are willing to &#13;
take them on commission, but I have been &#13;
afraid of recommending them for fear of causing&#13;
you a loss. Men are so bad now, that conscience&#13;
has no part in their acts, so that it is extremely&#13;
difficult for females to transact business with them.&#13;
The fact is, false pride leads them to support a style&#13;
of living which neither belongs to their station in&#13;
life nor corresponds with their means, and to make&#13;
a show of gentility, they sacrifice every thing, even&#13;
the [DE: hopes and] peace of a dying bed and the hopes &#13;
of Eternity. I am, however, acquainted with&#13;
3 different houses here who I think you might&#13;
trust, and if you will send your "School Song&#13;
Book", what ever number you choose, I will&#13;
leave them at their stores and see that they&#13;
do you justice, as far as it is in my power.&#13;
I see by the N.A. Review that you have published &#13;
an other work, and I trust that you may&#13;
prosper and be well compensated for your distinguished&#13;
talents and indefatigable labours. There is some&#13;
&#13;
pleasure in exerting ourselves if we can bring&#13;
our labours to good account - but it is not&#13;
for all to bask in sun-shine. Some reap a&#13;
golden harvest, others saw, but the enemy&#13;
mix tares with the grain, and among these&#13;
stands poor [?] So far, it has been my lot to aid in the&#13;
support of men. Ticknor is the fourth gentleman &#13;
who has taken advantage of my unbefriended&#13;
situation. I was very sure, when you wrote&#13;
me that he had not sold my books, that it was&#13;
incorrect, and I wrote him when I arrived to N.Y.&#13;
that I wished him to send me the remaining books&#13;
as here had never any of them been offered, and&#13;
I could sell them here, but he answered that they&#13;
were settling their business and would write me&#13;
as soon as they had gon [gone] through with it. They&#13;
has half of the edition, the publishers in Cincinnati&#13;
had four hundred for their charges, and the&#13;
proceeds of those I had (100) is all I have&#13;
received, and of this number a large part went&#13;
as presents among my friends. Mr Fullerton&#13;
requested me to send a bill on them to him&#13;
promising to try to get something, I send the&#13;
bill in letters by mail, but I have not since&#13;
then heard from Mr Fullerton. He also said&#13;
he would send me four books that were sent&#13;
from T. &amp; [A.?] to his store but I have not received&#13;
them. I could have sold the copy-write here if&#13;
I could have [DE: sent a s] given a specimen, but&#13;
owing to my nor receiving those left at Mr F's&#13;
I have not been able to do so. Some mistake&#13;
must be the cause of the delay as I am sure&#13;
Mr F. would do all he could for me. I am&#13;
and have been very much occupied with my new&#13;
work. Owing to the imperfect knowledge we have here&#13;
&#13;
of drawing on stone, I have not been able to get any&#13;
one to do my plates as they ought to be to be colored&#13;
in a superior style. I have therefore been obliged myself&#13;
to practise [practice] on several stones, and hope I have&#13;
now succeeded, but I cannot tell until next week&#13;
how they plates will look when they are colored, as I&#13;
have but just finished the stone I last began. It is of&#13;
great consequence that I should have them printed &#13;
from stone as copperplates are very expensive. Besides&#13;
if I can do it myself, I am paid well for it, and am&#13;
sure that it is not slighted. The coloring will also devolve&#13;
on me. Should I succeed in producing a work&#13;
superior to any we have at present, if the kind, I &#13;
shall have the merit at least of perseverance, for &#13;
every body, who pretend to know any thing about&#13;
coloring here say that it is impossible to produce&#13;
plates equal to my painting. I have told them&#13;
that all that is wanted in this country is moral&#13;
courage, and that whatever has been done before&#13;
can be done again, and I hope the lord will prosper&#13;
my efforts, that I may prove my confidence substantiated.&#13;
[DE: tially] Give my love, if you please, to any&#13;
of my friends that you may meet with, and do write&#13;
me soon how you prosper and all about your children,&#13;
and how you intend spending the summer. If it was &#13;
convinient [convenient] I wish you would call at Mr. Fullerton's &#13;
to see if he has sent my books, perhaps they&#13;
are lost, if so, I have lost the sale of the second&#13;
edition for I cannot sell the copy-write if I cannot&#13;
show them the work.&#13;
God bless you, my dear friend,&#13;
Maria Turner.&#13;
&#13;
In great haste.&#13;
I wish that you would compose a few lines on the hundred-&#13;
leaved-rose for my work, it is the last of the plates, and I should like&#13;
one of a religious cast, I do not want you to say any thing about it, but I&#13;
intend to have poetry interspersed in the work.&#13;

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

I have just returned&#13;

found yours - I regret extremely that I did &#13;
not receive it in time, &amp; that you should&#13;

Is it too late now, to attend to your&#13;

&amp; if it is not, it will give me great&#13;
pleasure, to comply with a desire, which&#13;
I should consider as complimentery [complimentary] -&#13;

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

              <text>Washington&#13;
11 Jany 1851&#13;
&#13;
My dear Madam - I hardly know what you&#13;
must have thought of receiving no answer to &#13;
your friendly letter of the 2d Novr, but when I&#13;
tell you that it has only now accidentally fallen&#13;
into my hands, you will at least believe that &#13;
the neglect has not been intentional. A short time&#13;
ago I returned from Habana - and as during my&#13;
absence, the house occupied by this Legation had&#13;
been changed - there may probably have been&#13;
some confusion in the delivery of the letters -&#13;
Although Mr. de Calderon does not recollect it, I&#13;
think that amongst his extensive correspondence,&#13;
he may have inadvertently opened this letter&#13;
in my absence - and feeling it was not for him,&#13;
put it aside. In short no one can explain the&#13;
circumstances - but I found it amongst other papers&#13;
opened - and no portrait within it - This is what&#13;
&#13;
most disturbs me - as it may I fear, put&#13;
you to very serious inconvenience. My sister who&#13;
was here at the time - and in all the confusion&#13;
of moving - furnishing &amp;c [etc.] says she is convinced&#13;
she saw the letter - but of the portrait knows&#13;
nothing. I shall have a thorough search made&#13;
for it - but in the meantime I thought it &#13;
better to write and explain to you the circumstance&#13;
without any further delay.&#13;
Now my dear Madam with regard to your kindness&#13;
in considering me worthy of a place in your&#13;
work, I truly think that I am not entitled to it -&#13;
but should you continue of a different opinion, I&#13;
must while expressing my sense of the honor you&#13;
confer upon me, entreat you to say as little personally &#13;
of me as possible. Before I wrote "Life in Mexico,"&#13;
I had published various things, of which no one&#13;
ever knew me to be the Author - or perhaps ever&#13;
&#13;
will - and it was only at the urgent desire of &#13;
Mr. Prescott, that my name in initials was put&#13;
in that book. Since then I have been brought&#13;
forward in reviews, and become more accustomed &#13;
to see my own name in print - but I think &#13;
the life of a living person can be but a mere&#13;
sketch - and containing a few facts - at least I&#13;
speak of a person as undistinguished as myself -&#13;
As for family, my father was a descendant in&#13;
the female line from the Earls of Buchan - his&#13;
grandmother being Lady Frances Erskine daughter of the Earl married&#13;
to the celebrated Col. Gardiner who fell at Preston-&#13;
Pans [Prestonpans] - and is the Col. Gardiner of Walter Scott's&#13;
Waverly. My Grandmother was their daughter -&#13;
and I was called Fanny Erskine after Lady&#13;
Frances, who was celebrated both for her beauty &#13;
and for her correspondences with Dr. Doddridge&#13;
and other celebrated divines of the day. The pictures &#13;
of Colonel and Lady Frances Gardiner hung in our&#13;
school-room when we were children in Scotland,&#13;
and are amongst my very earliest recollections -&#13;
when my father lost his fortune, we went &#13;
to France, and lived there in retirement in&#13;
an old house in Normandy for several years -&#13;
when we all removed to America - For&#13;
&#13;
[DE: five] six very happy years I assisted in the labors&#13;
of the school in Boston - and was then&#13;
married to the Spanish Minister and went&#13;
to reside in Washington - In the year 1840 he&#13;
was named to Mexico - where we passed two&#13;
years very delightfully - and when my husband&#13;
was recalled during the Regency of Espartero, we&#13;
returned to the U.S. staid there a few months -&#13;
and then sailed for Europe - visited Paris, London,&#13;
Edinburgh - near which I spent one melancholy&#13;
day in revisiting our old country place, now&#13;
in the hands of strangers - we then went to&#13;
Madrid where we spent a winter - and Mr.&#13;
de Calderon being again named Minister to the &#13;
U.S., we returned here in the year 44 - And&#13;
have resided in this Country ever since.&#13;
During these last seven years the most remarkable&#13;
event that has happened to me, is that&#13;
after three years of very hard study, I have&#13;
become a Catholic - with a thorough conviction&#13;
of having [DE: arrived?]  embraced the true Faith. You&#13;
see my dear Madam that the outline of my&#13;
life is not particularly interesting - with &#13;
&#13;
with regard to a portrait, there is one of me in oils&#13;
in Baltimore, which is said to be very like.&#13;
A daguerreotype was taken from it some time&#13;
ago, but was a complete failure, - we can&#13;
however have it tried again, and if it succeeds,&#13;
I shall have the pleasure of sending it to you -&#13;
Your work embraces such an extensive period,&#13;
and must be so voluminous, that I do not&#13;
suppose my delay in answering your letter&#13;
can be of any real consequence - but the &#13;
portrait you mention as having sent within the&#13;
letter must be of real importance - and I [am?]&#13;
really distressed about its disappearance.&#13;
I have written very hurriedly, that I might&#13;
not miss this day's Post - and shall only add&#13;
that I am dear Madam truly yrs&#13;
Fanny Calderon&#13;
de la Barca&#13;
&#13;
I re-open my letter to say that to my great &#13;
joy, I have found the portrait! - and enclose&#13;
it.&#13;

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

&#13;
Dec. 27, 1853&#13;
&#13;
Dear Madam,&#13;
&#13;
I yesterday&#13;
received your kind letter&#13;
of June last, together with &#13;
the beautiful volumes of&#13;
which it speaks.&#13;
The Queen for whom one of &#13;
them was intended is &#13;
you&#13;
&#13;
you are aware, dead. I shall,&#13;
however, immediately send&#13;
the volume to the afflicted&#13;
King.&#13;
Her Majesty, of whom you &#13;
speak as the granddaughter&#13;
of Don John II, was the granddaughter&#13;
of John VI, and inherited&#13;
many of his traits of&#13;
character. You have paid none&#13;
too much of her virtues. [In early?]&#13;
life she was beautiful, with&#13;
a very fair German complexion&#13;
and a graceful form. Her education&#13;
&#13;
education had been careful and&#13;
suitable when exalted rank and&#13;
from the day she ascended the &#13;
throne till her lamented death&#13;
the royal Household was a&#13;
model of purity and propriety.&#13;
The spectacle of grief which&#13;
the capital has exhibited,&#13;
since her decease, is a beautiful&#13;
tribute to her illustrious &#13;
merit as a woman and&#13;
a queen.&#13;
I expect, Madam,&#13;
&#13;
to enjoy the perusal of the &#13;
much valued volume for&#13;
which Mrs Haddock desires&#13;
me to present to you&#13;
her most sincere thanks,&#13;
not only as a work of talent and&#13;
learning honorable to your&#13;
sex, but as a contribution&#13;
of New Hampshire to &#13;
the Literature of our country.&#13;
Though I have not had &#13;
the&#13;
&#13;
honor of a personal acquaintance &#13;
with you, I &#13;
am not ignorant of your exertions&#13;
for the improvement&#13;
of society and the &#13;
[?]patation of our native &#13;
state. We have labored&#13;
together, without meeting,&#13;
and cherish, without&#13;
having interchanged, the&#13;
same sentiments of patriotism&#13;
and&#13;
&#13;
pride as citizens of the &#13;
same noble commonwealth.&#13;
Mrs Haddock unites with&#13;
me in most respectful&#13;
and grateful regards.&#13;
I am very sincerely&#13;
Your obedient &#13;
Servant &#13;
&#13;
C.B. Haddock&#13;
&#13;

              <text>Providence R.I. 30th June,&#13;
1851&#13;
&#13;
My Dear Mrs Hale,&#13;
&#13;
I received your very kind&#13;
letter just as I was stepping into the&#13;
carriage on my way to Providence R.I.&#13;
I am but half convinced in regard to&#13;
my article, but do e'er as you will in&#13;
the matter and I will be content. At&#13;
least I wish you would try to send me&#13;
an entire copy as it comes out, that&#13;
I may join the fragments.&#13;
I write this in my chamber&#13;
at the house of Rev. Dr Hedge, (author &#13;
of the Prose Writers of Germany) where&#13;
I am spending my time most happily,&#13;
and where the Providence people are doing&#13;
everything to make me in love with&#13;
them. Tomorrow night I am to [lecture?],&#13;
with the prospect of a very fine audience.&#13;
I congratulate you upon the progress&#13;
&#13;
of your great work. I know your [?],&#13;
and I know also your generous&#13;
appreciation of the labors of others, and&#13;
I do not doubt it will be very popular.&#13;
My health is good, and the more&#13;
the kindness with which my two audiences&#13;
have received me, gives me&#13;
a [?] hope that I will find this&#13;
field a desirable one to me. Still I&#13;
have not the least [petty?] ambition to&#13;
be called popular, I [say?] my [say?] [correctly?]&#13;
as I feel, and shall retire at any&#13;
time without discomfort let the indications&#13;
be what they may, God has been&#13;
pleased to bestow upon me great freedom&#13;
of nature, that in following&#13;
indications of any kind, I [?] {?]&#13;
in so doing, and every [?] I find this&#13;
[powers?] of being [?], the results&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
I trust will be good if not great&#13;
to others - for myself I ask nothing,&#13;
expect nothing. I am a child of&#13;
God's will, following in his way.&#13;
My beloved Valentine has gone to&#13;
his friends at the [east?], where he writes&#13;
me he is improving in health.&#13;
I, of course had no time to see&#13;
Mr. L[?], so fear I shall not be able&#13;
to do so before autumn. If you write&#13;
him will you, please ask him to send&#13;
me a copy of my portrait, addressed Portland, Maine,&#13;
Care of Hon. [DE: Judge][Ashur?] [?]. I shall&#13;
be there most likely next week. Would&#13;
you be willing to let me see what&#13;
you say about me? I wrote to Mr&#13;
[Hart?], who sent to me about his book, but&#13;
have not heard from him in acknowledgement.&#13;
Do you know I sometimes&#13;
feel [?] vexed at the cavalier manner&#13;
with which I am treated by editors and&#13;
publishers in Philadelphia or [?]&#13;
&#13;
with the cordial appreciation, and interest&#13;
of the highest order of intellect in every other&#13;
part of the country. I am no toady, and would&#13;
be unwilling to think that spirit commendable&#13;
[or?] [essential?] in your region, and being&#13;
unburdened with fussy and selfish ambition,&#13;
being also quite [?] of my position,&#13;
I bide my time with composure. I&#13;
look back upon my hard struggles with a&#13;
shudder - I wonder that I am alive,&#13;
and the fact that I am so, and that I am&#13;
strong, {ED: crease in paper obscures writing]is proof&#13;
that a field is before me, broader and&#13;
better than I  have hitherto occupied.&#13;
I have seen Mrs. [Wh?] here with &#13;
much interest - Mr. Davis the lecturer and&#13;
I might go to see Mr. [Hall?](?)&#13;
[Mrs?] Burgess, a woman of [some?] literature,&#13;
and more wealth, and allied [?] of the&#13;
most accomplished scholars of the day, as well&#13;
as a little [?] of others, esteemed here.&#13;
I trust you will drop me a &#13;
line in Portland. Affectionately yrs E. Oakes Smith&#13;

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

It had its financial difficulties and was united with &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt; (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 &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt;, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of &lt;em&gt;Mary had a Little Lamb&lt;/em&gt; 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).</text>

                  <text>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 &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; in 1827. &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation.

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 &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; in 1827. &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; 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 &lt;em&gt;The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston&lt;/em&gt;, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt; (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837.

              <text>Dear Mrs Hale -&#13;
&#13;
I sent you the&#13;
Christian Era - Two numbers&#13;
containing pieces I put&#13;
in the paper with reference&#13;
to Mrs Mason - She sent&#13;
us quite a long document&#13;
but I could not make&#13;
the ladies think best to print&#13;
it - I fear it would not&#13;
have done much good for&#13;
her opponents no doubt had&#13;
&#13;
determined beforehand &#13;
what they would do at&#13;
St Louis - They seem to&#13;
handle our sister without&#13;
gloves - they consider her insane &#13;
&amp; then make her answerable&#13;
for all her acts &amp; opinions.&#13;
Do you see the Rangoon &#13;
Times? Dr Mason writes much&#13;
in that paper &amp; at the time&#13;
of the controversy he shew up&#13;
things in their true light -&#13;
In the end I think the board&#13;
of the A.B.M. Union will be&#13;
&#13;
much ashamed of Mr Crop.&#13;
Did you see by the Wachman [Watchman]&#13;
&amp; Reflector of June 1st that &#13;
Mr Crop sent to the St Louis&#13;
meeting a letter containing&#13;
"a [?] list of heresies&#13;
taught by Mrs Mason"? &#13;
the board act to all appearance &#13;
like men carried away by one&#13;
side of an argument.&#13;
Miss Bale has requested&#13;
to write to you or Mrs Stevens,&#13;
&amp; I felt sorry when she told &#13;
me lately that she had not&#13;
done so. Of course I do not&#13;
write officially but will just&#13;
&#13;
say that she had a meeting&#13;
with reference to supporting&#13;
Miss Marston some of the&#13;
ladies think that she is working&#13;
well others think she is not&#13;
but our funds are so low that&#13;
we voted that we could &#13;
not sustain her - I do not&#13;
know if the note has been&#13;
sent to the New York Society -&#13;
we are only a branch &amp; have&#13;
no authority about any one.&#13;
Mrs Mason writes that the Eng.&#13;
Government will aid in Miss M's&#13;
support if requested.&#13;
I regret that in Boston we&#13;
are like a few conies in the&#13;
&#13;
wilderness - our society cannot &#13;
flourish - one of our D.D.s &#13;
told a member that she had&#13;
better see where her money went.&#13;
I called on Mrs Safford&#13;
Deacon Saffords widow to &#13;
see if she would not join&#13;
us, but she had too many&#13;
societies on hand already.&#13;
We are just a few baptists.&#13;
Would it not be well to insert&#13;
in your interesting magazine -&#13;
"We have accounts from time&#13;
to time of the Boston Branch&#13;
of our Missionary Society - "The&#13;
meetings are held with Mrs Gould&#13;
No 31 Boylston Street" - then&#13;
&#13;
if any one wished to make&#13;
inquiries they could call&#13;
to see me. We feel much&#13;
interested in young Buttard&#13;
some money ought to be &#13;
collected to help him through&#13;
college. I was much&#13;
pleased with Mrs [Stevens?]&#13;
remark in her letter which Miss Bake read me that &#13;
she wishes she could &#13;
support the Masons - I am&#13;
glad that they have some&#13;
support from Government.&#13;
I have not written anything&#13;
worthy of your perusal&#13;
but have often intended writing&#13;
&#13;
to you. Mrs Doermas wrote&#13;
Mrs Robinson our secretary to&#13;
know if we would send&#13;
a committee to meet one from&#13;
Philadel, at New York, but we&#13;
cannot do it as a society;&#13;
some one might go on as an &#13;
individual if the meeting ha&#13;
not passed. Mrs. Richardson&#13;
is the one who has had the &#13;
greatest interest in our society&#13;
from the beginning - She is a&#13;
good christian - Happy are&#13;
we if we maintain a humble&#13;
walk with God in all the &#13;
storms of life. Blessed is he&#13;
&#13;
who builds his house&#13;
on the Rock of Ages -&#13;
Affty yrs&#13;
w respect&#13;
&#13;
Harriet C. Gould&#13;
&#13;
Should[DE:y] you have occasion&#13;
to write - tho' I would not&#13;
tax your precious time - write&#13;
in care of Dr A.A. Gould&#13;

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

I send copy of May - with the&#13;

Mrs Hale&#13;
&#13;
Some days since I sent&#13;
a note to Treas. of the Episcopal&#13;
Mission Board requesting him&#13;
to send word to you the particulars&#13;
of the money in question&#13;
Being in the vicinity of &#13;
Bible House I called &amp; learned &#13;
that Mr Aspinwall the treasurer&#13;
had received my note &amp; read it&#13;
but could not learn he had replied &#13;
to it I requested the [gent.?]&#13;
in charge to write you all &#13;
facts in the case -&#13;
I learn from him that&#13;
they announce special&#13;
donations in their May&#13;
[?] &amp; there the persons named&#13;
[draw?] on them for the [amt?]&#13;
this it seems Mrs Boone&#13;
&#13;
may not have noticed &amp;&#13;
has not drawn on treas&#13;
for the amt -&#13;
I presime [presume] the amount&#13;
is still in their hands&#13;
and will be subject to&#13;
further orders - but on&#13;
this point I am not&#13;
advised - If you wish&#13;
the money returned I&#13;
presume he would return &#13;
it if not sent forward&#13;
through them - Exchange&#13;
is so high they are not&#13;
sending notes - I write&#13;
this in great haste to &#13;
inform you of the facts as &#13;
far as known to me -&#13;
I presime [presume] you&#13;
hear from the Treas&#13;
soon Yours Truly&#13;
in great haste RS Wyckoff&#13;

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

New York&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs. Hale&#13;
&#13;
Many thanks for&#13;
your kind letters and the copies of &#13;
foreign [?] enclosed, which I should&#13;
have acknowledged earlier, had I not been &#13;
so pressed with Society business. The&#13;
letters from abroad will furnish a very&#13;
valuable addition for our April "Link."&#13;
I have written unofficially to Mr.&#13;
Halwell asking various questions I am&#13;
desirous of learning about before presenting&#13;
his application to our, Board, at&#13;
its March Monthly Meeting. I think&#13;
favorably of [both?] that &amp; Mrs. [?] [Meter's?]&#13;
&#13;
application received through Mrs.&#13;
Boardman.&#13;
I think the Society is &#13;
gaining new friends and I want to&#13;
expand in proportion in heathen lands.&#13;
My Mother's health is extremely&#13;
delicate this winter, but I trust our&#13;
Heavenly Father will long preserve her&#13;
valuable life.&#13;
With kind regards from her,&#13;
believe me respectfully yours&#13;
S.D. Doremus&#13;

              <text>July 19 -&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs. Hale,&#13;
&#13;
I am making up&#13;
a packet of [?] for [?]&#13;
&amp; must not omit to write to you&#13;
to thank you for all your great&#13;
kindness to me which I felt all&#13;
the more as it was at a time when&#13;
every thing looked dark &amp; evil and&#13;
nothing [nothing?] [round?] [us?] but people&#13;
who stood aloof and who though&#13;
un kind a right to expect aid from&#13;
them would not [find?] it. You [a?]&#13;
str[?]nger [women?] willingly did all&#13;
you could &amp; though this sum&#13;
which was paid was very small&#13;
yet I assure you I was very&#13;
glad of it. We hope [?][[?][?]&#13;
&#13;
year will be perhaps the time of&#13;
their outbreak, but they are waiting for&#13;
the time when they hope victory will be&#13;
sure. They expect aid from America in what&#13;
shape I know not. Perhaps merely in money, if&#13;
by outward forces that can only lead to [?]&#13;
[?] America which God forbid.&#13;
I am sorry dear Mrs. Hale that I have&#13;
[answered?] so poorly for your May 10 - not at all.&#13;
But do not believe me indifferent to you &amp; if&#13;
I only know any one who would bring but&#13;
an edition of your poems I would take them&#13;
at once out of [?] hands of [?] [?] [?]&#13;
if they would not immediately come to [some?]&#13;
definite terms.&#13;
My husband is now engaged on a newspaper&#13;
of which we are to [?] also the&#13;
literary management - we shall be&#13;
very glad in this to do any thing for &#13;
you that we can, &amp; at Mr. Chapmans&#13;
we shall always I suppose be able to&#13;
[see?] The Lady's Books &amp; your other works.&#13;
Will not you come to England dear Mrs.&#13;
Hale? - We should be right glad to [see?] you think&#13;
of it. I [?] had words you could write&#13;
about the "Old Country."&#13;
I am dear Mrs. Hale yours faithfully MH&#13;

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

              <text>Glen's Falls N.Y.&#13;
Oct 25th 1853&#13;
&#13;
My Dear Aunt&#13;
&#13;
We have been surprised&#13;
and gratified by a recent visit from &#13;
she that was Emeline [Buell?], now&#13;
living in Bytown Canada - In &#13;
speaking of Father she enquired&#13;
if we had not a daguerreotype&#13;
of him - to which I replied - we had&#13;
not &amp; regretted it very much -&#13;
She then said that you had&#13;
a portrait taken while he&#13;
was a college student which&#13;
looked very much like him&#13;
I thought I would write to see&#13;
if you could be induced to&#13;
part with it - if not to let us&#13;
take it &amp; have another painted &#13;
by it - I cannot tell you how&#13;
much pleasure it would&#13;
&#13;
afford us to have in our possession&#13;
the likeness of one whose memory&#13;
is so tenderly cherished -&#13;
We are now living in Glen's Falls&#13;
&amp; very pleasantly situated - I hope &#13;
after Sister Martha gets settled &#13;
in Troy you &amp; the Cousins will&#13;
make it convenient to visit&#13;
us - Say to Josepha that we&#13;
should be very glad indeed &#13;
to have her spend one of&#13;
her coming vacations with us&#13;
Martha is to be married on&#13;
Tuesday next - we are making&#13;
preparations to attend the&#13;
wedding - I have but one child&#13;
a bright active boy nearly four&#13;
years old, named after our&#13;
father.&#13;
The Dr joins me in a &#13;
kind remembrance to you&#13;
&amp; the Cousins Affectionately&#13;
E.B. Holden&#13;

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

              <text>147 East 18th [St.?]&#13;
May 2d 1854&#13;
&#13;
My dear Madam&#13;
&#13;
I owe you an apology for not sooner&#13;
answering your letter received some days since, but I have&#13;
been very much engaged for the last week, I shall be most&#13;
happy to render you any assistance in my power, and&#13;
though my time will be fully employed during the&#13;
month of May, yet the summer months in our quiet little&#13;
cottage at Rhinebeck will give me leisure to comply with&#13;
your request.&#13;
I can furnish you with sketches of the lives of Mrs. Wesley&#13;
and Mrs. Fletcher, and I would suggest another name&#13;
[?] in the Annals of Methodism in this country. It is &#13;
&#13;
that of Catherine Garrettson, daughter of Judge Livingston,&#13;
sister of Chancellor and Edward Livingston, and sister-in-law&#13;
of General Montgomery, General Armstrong [etc.] She married&#13;
one of the early Methodist preachers, having joined the Society&#13;
for Rhinebeck, when there were but two other members. She&#13;
died in 49 at the age of ninety seven - having lived for fifty&#13;
years in the beauty of holiness - She was a woman of strong mind&#13;
and great force of character, and as she was my mother's aunt&#13;
I could readily furnish you with a sketch of her history.&#13;
The sister too, Mrs. Montgomery, deserves a place in your&#13;
record&#13;
I hesitate somewhat about naming to you those who&#13;
are still living, though I believe those who have written&#13;
most are my friends and neighbors - I know they would&#13;
shrink from honorable mention being made of their names.&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Margaret Otherman Stevens, wife of Rev Abel Stevens, editor&#13;
of the National Magazine, writes easily and well, and I &#13;
will see what I can gather up of hers.&#13;
I will make some enquiries too about the wives of our&#13;
missionaries. I do not leave town till the last of May or the &#13;
beginning of June, and I shall be very happy to see you&#13;
on or before that time, and will be pleased to confer with&#13;
you on this subject. I have been very much interested in&#13;
Woman's Record and I think it a most valuable publication&#13;
and one worthy of the labor you have bestowed upon it.&#13;
With high respect&#13;
I am very truly yours&#13;
Julia M. Olin&#13;

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

&#13;
Madam,&#13;
&#13;
My kind friends Mr. &amp; Mrs. [Balmanno?],&#13;
of New York, have informed me of your&#13;
obliging intention of placing my name &#13;
in your "Record". "It is an honor that&#13;
I dreamed not of". But allow me&#13;
to offer you my best thanks. They&#13;
also mention your desire that [Isa?]?&#13;
furnish you with some of my biographical&#13;
particulars. It is an awkward matter&#13;
to state these of living authors, as one&#13;
knows not the chief point of interest&#13;
&amp; importance - namely, whether or no&#13;
their works have lived, as well as &#13;
themselves.&#13;
&#13;
And as to personal incidents; most&#13;
writers' biographies, I believe, may &#13;
be summed in these few words - "They&#13;
were born  _ they wrote _ they died,"&#13;
I trust it may be a very very&#13;
long time ere you have to add the&#13;
last particular to your account of&#13;
Madam,&#13;
Your obliged &amp; obdt. Servt.&#13;
Mary Cowden Clarke&#13;

&#13;
New York. Dec 5. 1850.&#13;
&#13;
I can hardly hope, that you will excuse in me, what I&#13;
cannot excuse myself; in the long delay of my answer to your polite&#13;
letter. I must confess that I have had, from the very beginning&#13;
of my literary career a decided aversion against all personal&#13;
publicity. I succeeded for considerable time in keeping my person&#13;
in the shade, declining all the requests in that respect of [F.?] Rassmann,&#13;
Schindel and other editors of literary Biographies and works of&#13;
that kind. At last, as one gets accustomed to every thing, I have&#13;
suffered - not caused - to be [?] under my real name in the&#13;
well known: Conversations Lexicon [Lexikon] der Gegenwart , [DE:?] Leipzig,&#13;
Brockhaus 1840 (Continuation of F. Liebers Encyclopedia Americana)&#13;
The details of my life as given there, are essentially correct; only the&#13;
name given there as Adolfine, ought to be changed in: Albertine - if it is&#13;
worthwhile to change such a trifling thing. May I refer you to this&#13;
work, dear Madam? I have no doubt that it is to be got in Philadelphia&#13;
and that, if you do not read German yourself, you can&#13;
easily get it translated for you. However as this article was written more&#13;
than ten years ago, I add the following details refering [referring] to the &#13;
ten intervening years.&#13;
&#13;
They were in literary respect principally devoted to the study&#13;
of American history. The result was a history of John Smith in [DE: the] F. Raumer's&#13;
Historisches Taschenbuch, Brockhaus 1845 and a larger historical&#13;
work on the Colonization of New England. (Geschichte der Colonisations &#13;
von Neu England Leipz, Brockhaus 1847) The outbreak&#13;
of the revolutions in Germany immediately afterwards,&#13;
which destroyed of course for some time all literary interests&#13;
operated against it and it may be said without vanity, that this&#13;
book, which I consider as the best I have ever written, received [DE: from] by&#13;
accidental circumstances less attention than it deserved; [DE: the] and it would&#13;
have received at a more favourable time. The&#13;
Germans, who know everything, [DE: h]are perfectly ignorant about&#13;
the history of this country before the Revolution. I had a strong&#13;
desire to make them acquainted with it and feel very much [DE: ?]&#13;
disappointed. - My next publications were in the English language.&#13;
The article on Slavic languages and literature refered [referred] to in the Convers. Lex. where it out to have been&#13;
mentioned that it was originally written for and appeared in the Biblical&#13;
Repository, a theological periodical, started by my husband,&#13;
was revised [DE: ,] and partly rewritten by me and the history of the&#13;
Slavic literature conducted to the present time; it was published&#13;
under the title: Historical View of the Languages and Literature of the Slavic&#13;
nations New York. Putnam. 1850. Immediately afterwards a small&#13;
novel appeared: Heloise or the unrevealed secret N.Y. Appleton which&#13;
it at the same time published in Germany under the title: Eigen&#13;
sinn des Herzens. Another tale is printing now and will appear at Appletons:&#13;
"Life's Discipline, a tale of the Annals of Hungary.&#13;
With perfect esteem&#13;
I remain my dear Madam&#13;
Therese Robinson.&#13;

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

8 Oct. '55&#13;
&#13;
My Dear Mrs. Hale:&#13;
&#13;
I have been ill&#13;
since a few days after you were&#13;
here. First, I had congestion of&#13;
the somach [stomach?]. Then a pain in my&#13;
face - and now the influenza.&#13;
I should have been in the City&#13;
of Penn ere this if I had been &#13;
in my usual health.&#13;
I did not see you at the great&#13;
dinner at the Crystal Palace&#13;
on the 27th Ult. It was brilliant.&#13;
Your letter reached me in due time.&#13;
I had three copies made from&#13;
your explanatory letter, which&#13;
I sent to Dr. Thorn, Professor&#13;
Eaton, and Professor Gray.&#13;
At the earliest moment I was&#13;
able, I took the original letter&#13;
&#13;
and "The Bible Reader to Mrs.&#13;
Packer. She bade me say to&#13;
you that she would do all&#13;
in her power for its success.&#13;
She said she would recommend&#13;
it to the Principal of The&#13;
Packer Institute.&#13;
I have seen the Booksellers,&#13;
but none of the them seem willing&#13;
to order the book until it&#13;
is introduced into some of the&#13;
schools. I told them that&#13;
I would take half of them,&#13;
but this would not do.&#13;
They had rather wait until &#13;
there was a certain [DE: call] sale&#13;
for it. I feel disposed to&#13;
do all in my power for&#13;
its success.&#13;
&#13;
If this influenza should&#13;
leave me I may be in&#13;
Philadelphia this week;&#13;
if it does not I cannot&#13;
say when I will be there.&#13;
Let me hear from you soon,&#13;
and believe me,&#13;
&#13;
Yours ever&#13;
Estelle.&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale,&#13;
No. 4, Portico Place, Spruce St.&#13;

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

Dec 18th 1862&#13;
&#13;
Mrs S.J. Hale&#13;
&#13;
I have just read&#13;
yours of the 16th and the memorial&#13;
it enclosed.&#13;
While I would gladly aid in&#13;
endowing Normal Schools for&#13;
girls in every state, &amp; would&#13;
confidently anticipate the most&#13;
beneficent and far reaching&#13;
results from their establishment&#13;
I fear that nothing can be done&#13;
to that end by the present Congress.&#13;
This is the short session. It expires&#13;
on the 4th of March by limitation&#13;
and it has before an amount&#13;
of business that few can conceive.&#13;
If however, I can do anything&#13;
to promote so excellent an object&#13;
&#13;
I will not willingly permit&#13;
the opportunity to escape. You&#13;
cannot well imagine the weight&#13;
and quick succession with which&#13;
duties press upon us in this season&#13;
of trial and sorrow.&#13;
Yours Very Truly&#13;
Wm D Kelley&#13;

I have the honor to acknowledge&#13;
the receipt of your note and the memorial&#13;
it enclosed relative to the Establishment&#13;
of Schools for female teachers&#13;
by donation of public lands.&#13;
I have read the memorial and&#13;
the views it expresses are certainly worthy&#13;
the consideration of Congress. Although I&#13;
could not without more reflection assure&#13;
you that the measure should have my&#13;
support, yet the name of its advocate&#13;
as well as the importance of the proposition&#13;
will make me examine it&#13;
with attention&#13;
I have the honor to remain&#13;

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

              <text>House Repr Washington&#13;
January 7, 1854&#13;
&#13;
Madam&#13;
&#13;
I recd your note this morning enclosing&#13;
the memorial on the subject of education&#13;
It will give me great pleasure to aid&#13;
in the passage of such a bill as indicated&#13;
by the memorialists&#13;
I need hardly say to you that I am&#13;
opposed to the giving of our public lands&#13;
to build rail roads [railroads] and thus establish, out&#13;
of the public domain, a set of corporations&#13;
and monopolies, which in all countries&#13;
are, to say the least of them, dangerous.&#13;
But I am willing and anxious at all&#13;
times to vote for grants of land to the subject&#13;
of education, and more specifically that kind&#13;
proposed in your memorial, as also to those&#13;
who have periled their lives in defence [defense] of our&#13;
County [Country] either by land or sea.&#13;
I am also in favour of giving to every person&#13;
the head of a family, a farm of 160 acres&#13;
on condition of settlement and occupancy.&#13;
&#13;
Grants of this kind, are in my opinion, much &#13;
better calculated to advance the interests&#13;
and morals of our country, than squandering&#13;
wealth upon rail road [railroad] companies.&#13;
Yours very respectfully&#13;
M.C. Trout&#13;

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

&#13;
Dear Madam:&#13;
&#13;
Your note of yesterday's date was duly&#13;
received.&#13;
I shall be very happy to recive [receive]&#13;
any information you may have to impart,&#13;
on the subject of the superiority of female&#13;
teachers and female teaching. - I have myself&#13;
no doubt of the great superiority of women&#13;
over men in conducting early education, -&#13;
especially in educating the heart in good&#13;
feelings and the mind in good principles.&#13;
The natural&#13;
kindness, patience, as well as the superior acquaintance&#13;
of woman with the infant mind,&#13;
and the [farer?] character of her sympathy with&#13;
the youthful and sensitive hearts, qualify her&#13;
[DE?: better] for the duty of teaching, and not less for&#13;
the development of the moral, than of the intellectual&#13;
qualities:&#13;
I am glad that you have&#13;
called the attention of congress to this subject;&#13;
for although, owing to the peculiar&#13;
&#13;
constitution of the Committee of Public&#13;
Lands in both houses, it is not likely&#13;
that favorable action will be had at&#13;
the present Session, there is reason to believe&#13;
that the public have viewed the proposition&#13;
with more than usual favor; -&#13;
and I need not say, if the public once adopt&#13;
it, the politicians will soon discover&#13;
its merits.&#13;
&#13;
I have the honor&#13;
to be very respectfully&#13;
your ob st&#13;
James Cooper&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. S. J. Hale&#13;

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

              <text>Washington, Sept. 16th 1850.&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Hale,&#13;
Dear Madam,&#13;
I avail myself&#13;
of my earliest moments&#13;
of leisure to give&#13;
you a reply.&#13;
By the official School&#13;
Report of last year, it appears&#13;
that the whole No. of &#13;
Teachers in our Public Schools,&#13;
was 8163. Of these 2426&#13;
were males, &amp; 5737 females.&#13;
It must be stated however,&#13;
that this statement embraces&#13;
all the teachers for&#13;
both the winter &amp; summer&#13;
school; so that they are substantially &#13;
reckoned twice.&#13;
You will see by this that&#13;
&#13;
considerably more than&#13;
half of all the teachers in&#13;
our Public schools are&#13;
female. They teach, not&#13;
merely small children, but&#13;
large boys, - men grown;&#13;
&amp; if they have knowledge&#13;
&amp; dignity of character, they&#13;
manage young men, not &#13;
only like a charm, but&#13;
with a charm.&#13;
We have one Normal&#13;
School in Massachusetts&#13;
exclusively devoted to females, &#13;
It is near Boston,&#13;
where objections exist to the&#13;
attendence [attendance] of both sexes,&#13;
as such a mature age, (or&#13;
immature) on the same&#13;
school. In the country,&#13;
we have two other Normal&#13;
&#13;
Schools, open to both sexes.&#13;
In Albany there is a very&#13;
large Nor. School for both&#13;
sexes. In Connecticut, there&#13;
is a kind of Normal School,&#13;
but it is not kept for [the?]&#13;
same class only ten weeks.&#13;
In Philadelphia, also there is&#13;
one; about which you can&#13;
obtain more detailed information,&#13;
on the spot, than I &#13;
can give you.&#13;
These are the only Public&#13;
Nor. Schools, I know of in this&#13;
country, - schools sustained&#13;
by the state, or, like that at Philadelphia,&#13;
by the city. There are&#13;
Normal classes in one of the&#13;
Schools in New York city, there&#13;
is a private Normal School&#13;
in the interior of New York&#13;
State, &amp; another near Manchester,&#13;
N.H. kept by Wm. Russell.&#13;
&#13;
In the Nor. Sch.s of Mass. we&#13;
prepare about 150 for teachers&#13;
each year.&#13;
I have written not a &#13;
little, in favor of employing&#13;
Female Teachers. This sex is &#13;
advocated in almost all&#13;
my official Reports, which&#13;
are published in the Common&#13;
School Journal. Thro'out [Throughout]&#13;
the ten volumes of the&#13;
Journal, while I was its Editor,&#13;
much was said on this&#13;
subject, the index will help you to it.&#13;
I have always advocated&#13;
their employment in my&#13;
lectures. I take the liberty&#13;
to send you a short extract from&#13;
one of them; I remain, with&#13;
great regard, Very truly yrs. &amp; &amp;&#13;

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

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 &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt;, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of &lt;em&gt;Mary had a Little Lamb&lt;/em&gt; 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).</text>

                  <text>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 &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; in 1827. &lt;em&gt;Northwood&lt;/em&gt; 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 &lt;em&gt;The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston&lt;/em&gt;, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with &lt;em&gt;Godey’s Lady’s Book&lt;/em&gt; (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine.

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

&#13;
Mrs Sarah J. Hale&#13;
&#13;
Madam&#13;
I have read with great satisfaction the printed&#13;
sheet which you did me the honor to enclose in your note of yesterday&#13;
The subject of female education is one of deep&#13;
interest to every truly good man and woman, I confess myself instructed&#13;
by your reflections on the subject, and delighted with the evidence&#13;
you have produced of the growing interest [DE: in the Wis?] - which&#13;
it is exciting in the wise - I think "Congress may as [?]&#13;
make provision In National Education as for An [?]&#13;
That Congress has the power and it ought to exercise&#13;
it in both cases I do not question - albeit I am a strict&#13;
constructionist -&#13;
Hon Wm M Churchwell of Ten, has the subject&#13;
of Education under  consideration and has introduced a&#13;
bill [DE: on that subject] - I handed him the printed sheet &amp;&#13;
requested him to send you a copy of his bill. He promised&#13;
me he would do so - My aid maybe relied on by the Friends&#13;
of Education but I have too much business on hand to&#13;
assume the responsibility of leading on so important a subject&#13;
- It would suffer I fear from a want of that &#13;
&#13;
strict attention which it would certainly require &amp; which&#13;
in my present position it would be impossible for me to&#13;
give - - - Mr Churchwell having the subject in charge&#13;
is fairly entitled to lead, and I am quite certain he&#13;
will be most happy to profit by any hints or suggestions&#13;
you may think proper to make&#13;
Very [Respfl?] Madam'&#13;
Your obt sevt&#13;
A.G. Brown&#13;

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

may be sure that no vote I &#13;

care, who expects to meet her at Charlestown -&#13;
It could not be directed to her on her journey&#13;
thither, as it was impossible to know at&#13;
what stage it might find her - I was very&#13;
much pleased with this celebrated woman,&#13;
who seems to be unspoiled by the flattering distinctions&#13;
lavished on her - I had a great deal of&#13;
interesting conversation with her &amp; on the whole&#13;
recieved [received] so favorable an impression, that I was&#13;
induced to address her in a [partial?] epistle&#13;
which if you take the National Intelligencer &#13;
you have probably seen - it appeared the 7th February&#13;
&amp; as I see [DE: by your last?] you sometimes publish&#13;
in your Magazine sketches from other periodicals&#13;
&#13;
You may perhaps think this worth a republication&#13;
- I hope no one will take your extract&#13;
from a letter from Washington, for mine - certainly&#13;
the person who wrote it - could not have known&#13;
but only seen Miss M. -&#13;
I do not like the idea of publishing an account&#13;
of our social intercourse with even public characters&#13;
Such a habit must destroy the ease &amp; confidence&#13;
of intimate society - After the lapse of many&#13;
years such, or the death of such personages when these&#13;
[reminiscences] become somewhat historical - it&#13;
is a different thing. [DE: but ?] I saw a great&#13;
deal of Miss M. while she was here &amp; shall&#13;
enter in my book of reminiscences some of the&#13;
delightful conversations I enjoyed with her - but&#13;
should feel it unjustifiable in making any such&#13;
communications now. I found none of the difficulty&#13;
your correspondent describes in the use of her elastictube&#13;
 - After a minute or two I forgot it in the&#13;
interest of the subjects on which we conversed&#13;
&amp; in a carriage she does not require it, but hears&#13;
distinctly - her visit has furnished an agreeable&#13;
episode to the regular story of every day life -&#13;
[DE: ?] leaves on my mind most agreeable impressions.&#13;
I read your report of the Seamen's [?]&#13;
Society &amp; am happy, there to find my own sentiments &#13;
on charity, so ably expressed - But many&#13;
really good people; will still adhere to the system&#13;
of gratuitous [? ?], nor is it possible to make&#13;
them comprehend that by giving to all &amp; any who&#13;
are destitute, that you&#13;
&#13;
&amp; education are the only effectual means of improving&#13;
the condition of the poor. We have here two&#13;
[Womens?] societies - The ladies meet &amp; make up the &#13;
clothes - the original design, was to give them only to&#13;
such as were too old or too sick to work for themselves&#13;
Those are extreme cases which seldom occur, as there&#13;
are few old people who have not some relation, who&#13;
could &amp; ought to work for [them?]. &amp; of course hundreds&#13;
&amp; hundreds of garments are given &amp; thereby a [?]&#13;
opened to indolence - I cannot persuade them, it would&#13;
be doing more good, to pay poor women for making&#13;
[these?] garments - There is a pleasure in having meetings -&#13;
very seducing to females who have little to do at&#13;
home &amp; who have no other opportunity of meeting ladies&#13;
of a different class of society - I have [perceived?] all [these?]&#13;
working societies are very apt to degenerate into gossiping ones -&#13;
 Reading aloud has been ineffectually attempted - the&#13;
cutting out &amp; fitting of work [etc.] &amp; - interrupts it.&#13;
I was agreeably interrupted in this letter by a visit&#13;
from Mr. Jacob Abbot - I regret the shortness of his&#13;
visit will prevent his passing an evening with us - &#13;
I intended sending this letter by him - but could not&#13;
finish it yesterday. I shall give it in charge to&#13;
Mr Thatcher, who is to [?] this evening - I have&#13;
seen very little of him, as he has been confined&#13;
to the [house?] by indisposition - I have not heard&#13;
of your son's being in our City - I hope he has&#13;
not been here with out calling - I am just recovering&#13;
from a very severe cold &amp; expect in the&#13;
course of three weeks to return to the country.&#13;
Yours Madam, with the kindest wishes.&#13;
M.H. Smith&#13;
&#13;
I will thank you by the first private &amp; safe opportunity&#13;
to return such [articles?] of mine as you do not intend publishing - &#13;
[wither?] printed or mss.&#13;

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

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

              <text>Washington - City. 20th Janry. 1829.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Madam,&#13;
&#13;
I felt much flattered today by the contents of yours&#13;
of the 14th instant. It will give me great satisfaction &#13;
to show that your confidence in my kind&#13;
feelings towards you &amp; your family has not&#13;
been misplaced -&#13;
I had spoken to Mr. Thompson&#13;
concerning your Magazine some days ago; and he has engaged&#13;
to do all in his power for its [consequent?] [invitation?] -&#13;
The rules to be observed for application to be admitted as a &#13;
cadet at West Point are in substance as follows&#13;
&#13;
A memorial should be addressed to the Secretary of War, signed by&#13;
the candidate or his parent, stating his wishes, where he was born,&#13;
his present residence - his age and a reference to the papers&#13;
accompanying to show his good character and progress in&#13;
knowledge By certificates - He must appear to be between 14 &amp; 21 years of age - [DE: ?] over 4 feet 9 inches high - healthy - able to read &amp; write, cypher&#13;
in the elementary rules of arithmetic &amp; reduction &amp; regular &amp; decimal&#13;
fractions -&#13;
The selections from the candidates are made conditionally&#13;
in the month of Feby. or March -&#13;
If you will [ED: page damaged - possibly send onward?]&#13;
to me such a memorial &amp; proper certificates accompanying it&#13;
I think I cannot fail to get your son appointed - Certain&#13;
I am, that no exertion on my part shall be wanting&#13;
to effect an object so desirable not only to his esteemed&#13;
mother but to the young man himself, considering the [taste?]&#13;
he has already carried -&#13;
I find the name of David E. Hale&#13;
now on the list of candidates from Cheshire County (New H.)&#13;
&#13;
Whether it is intended for your son or not I am unable to say:&#13;
but at all events the application ought to be renewed each&#13;
year by the rules - : and a compliance with the above&#13;
suggestions will I trust ensure his [speedy?] success.&#13;
We have no news at this place - Public business seems&#13;
almost suspended by the peculiar condition of [parties?] till&#13;
the 4th of March - and the gay &amp; fashionable world is in the&#13;
mean time somewhat [?]reast by the sudden death&#13;
[ED: page damaged, possibly: of Mrs. Jackson] -&#13;
It would confer great pleasure on me&#13;
[ED: page damaged] you whenever my services can avail aught&#13;
to the welfare of yourself or family; and be assured I am&#13;
With the highest consideration&#13;
Your Most Ob Ser.&#13;
Levi Woodbury&#13;

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

              <text>Keene August 6th 1833&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs Hale,&#13;
&#13;
I received a letter from Sarah Parker last&#13;
evening - she is in Gaffrey &amp; will be here on Friday -(next week) - It &#13;
will be both convenient &amp; pleasant to have David here at&#13;
the same time &amp; I shall expect him - Shall you not&#13;
accompany him - it [is as ?] provoking in both of you that you&#13;
did not write to me before - &amp; then how politic to forgive&#13;
my silence! --&#13;
You are all I suppose in Troy, by this time, talking Greek&#13;
with Mrs Willard - talking about the Greeks I mean - I read&#13;
her eloquent Appeal with a great deal of pleasure - She certainly&#13;
is a wonderful woman - &amp; you must have a fine&#13;
treat at Troy - it is a beautiful, beautiful place - independent&#13;
of its society - I know of [DE:?]no[DE:?] place calculated&#13;
to give one more "agreeable sensations", what the french&#13;
pilgrims thought worth a tour to Jerusalem -&#13;
- I received a letter from Mrs Knickvacker this week&#13;
containing an invitation to meet you there - tell&#13;
her with much love, that it will "scarcly" [scarcely] be convenient&#13;
to leave home at present not even to find agreeable&#13;
sensations at beautiful Troy - so to see these I love very&#13;
dearly, the worthies of her kind fathers's family. -&#13;
Say every thing that is kind &amp; affectionate to both Mrs&#13;
H - &amp; the Dr for me - not forgetting Ursula &amp; cousin&#13;
Richard. --- Let me hear from you very soon -&#13;
My object in writing now is merely to assure Leiut [Lieut.]&#13;
Hale that I am expecting him - as I thought something&#13;
in your letter implied a wish to know&#13;
this fact - I mean if it would be "convenient"&#13;
with much love&#13;
very affectionately&#13;
your sister&#13;
SKH&#13;

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

              <text>I am glad, My dear [?], that you can account so satisfactorily&#13;
for your silence - yet seven months was a long while&#13;
for us wonder in - not too long however for you if thoughts&#13;
of your Sisters &amp; of home brought back feelings that contrasted&#13;
painfully with the confinement of your studies&#13;
&amp; made the discipline of West Point appear more irksome.&#13;
I rejoice that you have determined to excel, - nothing&#13;
more is necessary but to persevere - You have a&#13;
motive that must be constantly stimulating you in the&#13;
knowledge that your Mother &amp; Sisters are expecting much&#13;
from you &amp; that the influence of your example is all&#13;
important to your younger brothers - this alone I should&#13;
think would prevent you being a [cipher?] in the world&#13;
- besides in our country a man can hardly be respectable&#13;
let his fortune be what it will, without possessing some&#13;
kind of talent that might render him independent&#13;
&amp; useful - There never will be a class of idle and&#13;
luxurious gentlemen here, I think - Did you ever&#13;
read the Castle of Indolence? - It is sixteen years since&#13;
I read it - but I copied in my common place book&#13;
some extracts for my own benefit, which at the risk&#13;
of you thinking I have more than a slight tinge&#13;
of azure &amp; my "familiar letter is like a book" I &#13;
shall transcribe for you -- Industry is addressing the &#13;
sons of Indolence, &amp; says&#13;
&#13;
"It was not by vile loitering in ease&#13;
That Greece obtained the brighter palm of art&#13;
That soft yet ardent Athens learn'd to please,&#13;
To [Too] keen the wit &amp; to [too] sublime the heart,&#13;
In all supreme! complete in every part!&#13;
It was not thence majestic Rome arose&#13;
And o'er the nations shook her conquering dart;&#13;
For sluggards brow the laurel never grows;&#13;
&#13;
Renown is not the child of indolent repose.&#13;
&#13;
But should to fame your hearts unfeeling be,&#13;
If right I read you please all require;&#13;
Then hear how best may be obtained this fee,&#13;
How best enjoyed this natures wide desire.&#13;
Toil &amp; be glad! [let] industry inspire&#13;
Into your quicken'd limbs her buoyant breath!&#13;
Who does not act is dead. -&#13;
Would you then learn to dissipate the band&#13;
of the huge [threatening] difficulties dire&#13;
- - that mans&#13;
Soul appall and damp his rising fire?&#13;
Resolve, Resolve, &amp; to be men aspire&#13;
Exert that noblest privilege, alone&#13;
Here to mankind indulg'd, controul [control] desire!&#13;
Let godlike Reason from her sovreign [sovereign] throne&#13;
Speak the commanding words - I will - and it is done."&#13;
&#13;
There now - new and [ripe?] for copying this, buy committing it &#13;
to memory, &amp; let "I Will" be your motto - I wont bore you&#13;
with any more lectures, only dont read Bulwers novels&#13;
&amp; Byrons poetry - even tho' you are clear sighted enough to &#13;
perceive that their influence is not healthy - you are moved&#13;
by them you acknowledge - &amp; in all cases of contagion the&#13;
most susceptible are the surest victims to this exposure -&#13;
- How amused I was at [Corrinnas?] graphic &amp; humourous &#13;
description of the influence of Eugene Aram over her&#13;
[brother?] G- - but with "the amusing incident that occured [occurred]&#13;
at your ball" I shall leave it to the imagination! -&#13;
Martha Ann spent the vacation in Boston, while Josepha&#13;
remained with 'cousin Sarah' William also is here now &amp; we&#13;
expect will spend some time with us -- Miss Fiskes school is&#13;
filled to overflowing -- Miss Wittington is as pretty as ever - Time&#13;
touches not that tiny amaranth - her bright eyes have charmed&#13;
him, I suspect - Miss Kent - Oh! why would you not like Miss&#13;
Kent? - by the way speaking of likes - how uncourteous of you&#13;
not to say one word of your faithful admirer Miss Dawes -&#13;
- so constant in her enquiries &amp; her admiration of my hopeful&#13;
Nephew - [D.F.?] is still at Miss Fiskes - sweet, lovely &amp; pensive -&#13;
Elizabeth - Oh! I pity Elizabeth - because she has no&#13;
&#13;
female protection - She has kind &amp; affectionate feelings &amp; all &#13;
the [materil?] [material] for a very superior woman - she may&#13;
make one yet - but her Father is old &amp; peevish &amp; [iritable?] [irritable]&#13;
&amp; tyrannical - but then he is her Father - Now dont be&#13;
romantic enough to think of Elizabeth to the exclusion &#13;
of "divine philosophy" -- Remember&#13;
"The man who would thrive in his art&#13;
must keep the girls away from his heart"&#13;
If I do not stop writing I shall quote my whole store&#13;
of nursery rhymes &amp; quite shock your fastidiousness&#13;
but in sober prose without any rhyme but with&#13;
much reason believe me your affectionate&#13;
Aunt SK Hale&#13;
&#13;
P.S- It has just occurred to me why there is such a quantity of verse&#13;
in my letter - I have been writing with the girls of a swan; -&#13;
but it has lost all the dignity &amp; grace that it had upon the&#13;
water, it even was a most [DE: ?] ungraceful bird up[ED: page damaged]&#13;
land you know. - Miss Ware enquires in one of her letters "[ED: page damaged]&#13;
the swan was consecrated to Apollo &amp; so celebrated by the [ED: page damaged]&#13;
for his song - when in fact it is a most unmusical bird?" We&#13;
looked over numerous bulky volumes to find a satisfactory&#13;
reason - Have you ever met any thing in your french mythology&#13;
upon the subject? - Speaking of Miss Ware makes me think of the &#13;
pretty new teacher who has just arrived at Miss Fiske's - only&#13;
seventeen - understands a thousand &amp; one languages - executes&#13;
difficult Italian music - has a pretty fairy like figure - a &#13;
sunny blue eye &amp; a complexion like a sweet pea - &amp; her&#13;
name is Anna - not "[Commenci]"-(How classical that would&#13;
be) but [Maria?] - Oh! that is far more sentimental - -&#13;
- I have just seen her - while writing my letter, &amp; have decided&#13;
that she is pretty - very - front view -- but much to my mortification&#13;
she has a bad profile, for therein she is said to resemble&#13;
one whom it is impolite to talk about - but who is like her&#13;
sex in putting the essence of the letter in the postscript&#13;
when she send the love of Martha &amp; Josepha to their dear&#13;
Brother. -&#13;

              <text>Galveston, June 14th 1847.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mother&#13;
&#13;
I received yesterday your letter of May last&#13;
and write at once to caution you about some matters you mention&#13;
in it.&#13;
I have doubted whether Mr. Johnson intends to reside here&#13;
permanently and I still doubt it - but Judge Watrous has told me &#13;
that his, Mr. J's views have altered much since his visit to New&#13;
Orleans, where the amount of business in prospect has been so&#13;
great as to encourage him to remain in Texas, until he has&#13;
made his fortune. I expect the result of it will be that he&#13;
will spend the winters here in doing business and the summers &#13;
at the North in procuring it&#13;
My partnership with him is well known here - and&#13;
his not speaking about [at?] the North was nothing singular. He&#13;
had contracted for the building of our office before he left - which&#13;
is not done - and I shall, as I had always expected, remain&#13;
with Judge Watrous, who is to have a very pretty and convenient&#13;
suite of rooms for offices, library [etc.]&#13;
You need not be concerned about me in my&#13;
connection with Mr. Johnson. Whether it exists and remains or &#13;
not, I am not especially anxious - for all the business he&#13;
obtains for Texas will unquestionably be mine also - and if&#13;
&#13;
he does not come out, I can stand very [DE: very] well by&#13;
myself. I have received offers from several of the &#13;
leading members of the bar here to enter into partnership&#13;
with them - and if that with Mr. J is dissolved, I&#13;
may accept some one of them - although if it should be&#13;
possible I prefer to stand by myself.&#13;
The caution I wish to give to you &amp; José&#13;
is to say nothing about Mr. Johnson &amp; your opinions&#13;
to Judge W. or any one. I have said nothing myself &#13;
and for this reason - that it may &amp; probably is all&#13;
a mistake - and I should be especially sorry to suggest&#13;
anything in the conduct or character of Mr. J.&#13;
which should not prove strictly true - and also necessary&#13;
- and it is certainly not necessary.&#13;
I wish too you would dismiss your&#13;
fears about me - and remember that I am a Yankee,&#13;
with some education &amp; common sense, some experience,&#13;
some capabilities of managing - and that if I am not&#13;
now able to take care of myself, I never shall be&#13;
Everything is going on well here - the&#13;
climate is far - infinitely less oppressive than in &#13;
Richmond &amp; Phila. - the town healthy and pleasant&#13;
- and I am in less danger of sickness here than in &#13;
the North - If the yellow fever should come, which is&#13;
very doubtful - I shall go down the island - at a distance&#13;
from the city, [or?] on the shore of Galveston Bay. &#13;
I have a promise of very good business&#13;
- am rather respected here [etc.?] - and feel at present the &#13;
very dignified Office of District Attorney of the United&#13;
&#13;
States for this District - by an arrangement with the [present?]&#13;
incumbent, who is dangerously sick. The emoluments will&#13;
help me a little.&#13;
The autographs which [?] mentions are in my&#13;
collection - now at Richmond - I am quite sure he sent&#13;
them to me, in exchange - but I will write to him.&#13;
I am exceedingly glad that your finances are&#13;
so good - Do not think of me - I have only been anxious to&#13;
gain enough to send you or Jose some thing - which I hope to&#13;
do next winter.&#13;
So the Spaniards &amp; the [Russians?] have gone - The&#13;
Judge is delighted - and how is the household of the Mar[?]&#13;
House flourishing? I shall write to Mrs. Howell soon&#13;
about her land matters -&#13;
You may expect Charley in about a fortnight&#13;
after this letter reaches you - He will not, I think, be&#13;
long in Phila - but long enough to tell you every-thing&#13;
you want to know.&#13;
I am boarding at Mrs. Cooke's. It is a very&#13;
pleasant place - and she a pleasant woman. The [cautions?]&#13;
about her which Josepha was pleased to give - were rather&#13;
[?] - and based upon stories, which very naturally [?]&#13;
but which, I think, leave nothing which ought to affect her&#13;
character - She has been unfortunate only - perhaps imprudent&#13;
but from goodness of heart and some little [desire?] of [admiration?]&#13;
- nothing else - &#13;
Love &amp; remembrance to everyone - I have&#13;
written to Fanny. [?] yours&#13;
William G. Hale.&#13;
&#13;

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

              <text>Cambridge May 24th&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs Hale&#13;
&#13;
I am very happy to &#13;
be able to assist you in the way&#13;
you desired. I find however that&#13;
the subject opens so fully &amp; widely &amp;&#13;
presents so many aspects for discussion&#13;
&amp; consideration, that I am able only&#13;
to present very cursory views, I by no&#13;
means to cover the ground which you&#13;
indicate.&#13;
Should you find that papers&#13;
of this kind, something after the manner&#13;
of Mrs. Stowe's "House &amp; home papers"&#13;
in the "Atlantic," are desirable for your&#13;
magazine, I will write you four of&#13;
them of 6 or 8 pages each, for $100. -&#13;
I think papers on the minor morals&#13;
as they may be called, would serve a&#13;
good purpose in raising the character of&#13;
a magne [magazine], which on the outside is devoted&#13;
apparently to fashion - By this of course&#13;
I mean, exactly what I say only apparently,&#13;
for readers of course see that your end&#13;
&#13;
and aims are high for women. But&#13;
the world judges rightly only when things are palpably&#13;
thrusts under its nose. This, however&#13;
is only for your consideration.&#13;
I was delighted with the sweet&#13;
poem of your friend. But I am afraid&#13;
if it came to the practical part, &amp; my&#13;
daughter were downright unhappy &amp; abused&#13;
I shd [should] not have the courage or goodness,&#13;
of the poetess, &amp; maybe, she wouldn't either.&#13;
It is best, to have a high ideal though.&#13;
I need not say that I thank&#13;
you most sincerely for your kind interest&#13;
in my religious welfare. Shall we not&#13;
be contented to let each other believe as&#13;
seems to each, right? Whatever may be&#13;
my feeling in regard to your belief, I consider&#13;
It's a matter between yourself and&#13;
your Creator, &amp; recognize above all, the&#13;
Protestant principle of the right of private&#13;
judgment. Try to do so, with regard to me.&#13;
[DE: ?] Do you not think that in every truly religious mind,&#13;
the desire for truth will in time work the &#13;
intellect clear? [DE: ?] So let us not have the&#13;
odium theologicum - the most trying of all things&#13;
between us. Farewell - let me know if this&#13;
paper will do for you - yrs truly CAH -&#13;

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

              <text>Philadelphia, May 12th, 1866&#13;
&#13;
My Dear Mrs. Hopkinson - &#13;
Your letter has not been&#13;
forgotten. other pressing duties have&#13;
delayed my reply. Enclosed is a&#13;
poem (it will appear in the&#13;
June no.) written by a dear friend &#13;
of mine; I hope you will like it.&#13;
You asked me, in a former letter,&#13;
if you could do anything to help&#13;
me - Yes - if you feel inclined to write&#13;
me a letter, that I may publish condemning&#13;
[DE: ?] the "fatal facility" of [divorces?]&#13;
in our land - the duty of every wife&#13;
to consider marriage a sacred institution&#13;
[DE: (it is the] safeguard of woman's&#13;
honor and influence [DE: )] and herself one&#13;
of its guardians and defenders.&#13;
The beauty of domestic life when&#13;
the married pair study the happiness&#13;
of each other and even if the&#13;
disappointment [DE: ?][?]&#13;
it the nobleness of duty and the &#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following text appears sideways along the left side of the page]&#13;
&#13;
I will not commend your book to my friends - as I wished&#13;
to do. The word I wrote was in hope that you had&#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following text appears upside down at the top of the page]&#13;
-[rather mistaken this best way?], than&#13;
purposely omitted references to Gospel&#13;
examples. [DE: I hoped that] Your letter&#13;
has disturbed these [DE: hopes].[Still?] I &#13;
shall not give up the hope that you will&#13;
see the true "Light," believe in the true "[?]&#13;
that was God."&#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following text appears within lines at the bottom of the page and is somewhat illegible. This is a best attempt]&#13;
&#13;
is a theme that angels, if they ever write novels must find that&#13;
for a song of thankfulness the earth yet has home Edens [?]&#13;
[and?] even if the [?] of life.&#13;
&#13;
moral strength of self-discipline and self-renunciation&#13;
there is are influences [DE: which] that purifies&#13;
feeling and [?] [?]&#13;
and the blessings of God on the peace&#13;
-makers and on those who suffering&#13;
from wrong, still do good and&#13;
forgive is the [DE: blessed] sweet reward of the righteous&#13;
All these sentiments and virtues&#13;
should be u[??]ed on the young wives and&#13;
young girls in our country.&#13;
"This [civil?] war" has not lessened&#13;
but increased the number of marriages&#13;
- as statistics show. -I have&#13;
been told that many officers&#13;
wives (young brides) are living in&#13;
Boston, New York and other cities.&#13;
This manner of living for the wife must absorb&#13;
all the pay of the husband. When&#13;
the war is over and the married&#13;
couple begin life together, will there&#13;
not be more room for disappointments&#13;
and domestic troubles &#13;
than if these wives had remained with&#13;
their parents or friends and [DE: or even]in some useful employ and saved&#13;
the money spent in idleness and gossip,&#13;
(to give their manner of boarding life&#13;
its least rebuke) for the dear home&#13;
of their own which each wife should&#13;
be anticipating?&#13;
Your article, in Mrs. Philps'&#13;
work "Our Country"- and your&#13;
former letters to me on the industry&#13;
of young ladies were excellent and&#13;
[?] that you have the talent to&#13;
[?} [???}ntually, this reform on&#13;
the women of our land.&#13;
&#13;
And now my dear friend - what shall &#13;
I say on the subject of our religion?&#13;
Shall we take Jesus Christ for our&#13;
Saviour Redeemer Judge and jury&#13;
with [believer?] Thomas - "my Lord and my God?"&#13;
Thus He is to me. Or call Him&#13;
only the Teacher. Exemplar in human - sent&#13;
to show men how to make themselves&#13;
Teachers and Exemplars, and call &#13;
Him, as I once heard Mr. W. Emerson&#13;
"The peasant of Gallille"?-&#13;
Can we [DE: ?] consistently call ourselves by the&#13;
name of Christians and deny&#13;
the Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ?&#13;
He declared His Divinity and His power&#13;
to save men from their sins, which&#13;
only God can do. - "I and my Father&#13;
are one." - "I am the bread of life."&#13;
- I lay down my life for the Sheep."&#13;
"I have power to lay it down and power&#13;
to take it again." "I am the way, the&#13;
truth and the life:"- "Before Abraham&#13;
was I am."- "He that believeth in Me&#13;
though he were dead shall live." - [DE: He?]&#13;
"Whosoever liveth and believeth in me&#13;
shall never die.""I pray for them also&#13;
which shall believe in Me."- "If ye&#13;
believe not that I am He ye shall die&#13;
in your sins."- "Go ye, therefore, and teach&#13;
all nations, baptizing them in the name of&#13;
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."&#13;
Thus Jesus Christ not only claimed to be&#13;
one with the Father, but he claimed&#13;
Divine honors with the Father. If he&#13;
spoke truth He was one with God and&#13;
was God. If He did not speak&#13;
truth - then He was an imposter-&#13;
and surely you would not take Him&#13;
&#13;
for a Teacher and Exemplar if you&#13;
believed He had asserted what was not&#13;
true. He must be our "Lord and our&#13;
God" or we have no Saviour, [DE:?] no&#13;
help, no hope. We are of the Gentile&#13;
world and our only claim to the&#13;
promises of [DE: ?] men which Jehovah made in&#13;
the Old Testament, our only [?]to the&#13;
protection of the Moral Law, and all the &#13;
privileges the Bible gives Christian&#13;
women over their heathen sister,&#13;
all, all come by and from the&#13;
Lord Jesus Christ. "Made of a woman"&#13;
as our Saviour was, wherever His&#13;
Gospel is belived [believed] it protects, instructs,&#13;
[DE: ?] and saves all women. For thou to reject&#13;
[DE: ?] [?] God with us [DE: is to] [?] to me like giving up all&#13;
[DE: hope for] claim to happiness in this [DE: life world,] life -&#13;
all hope of Heaven in the life to come&#13;
You will not wonder, therefore that [DE:that] feeling as I do,&#13;
my heart was deeply pained by the&#13;
lack, in your "Hints for the Nursery," of&#13;
[DE: ? ?] sympathy with the Gospel of&#13;
Jesus, with Him coming to earth to save us [? ?]&#13;
[DE: a little child where he would save]&#13;
come as a babe on His mother's bosom,&#13;
[DE: us from our Jesus]; [DE: ?] And then so pitying and&#13;
protecting as He was to womanhood,&#13;
so loving and gentle to [DE: childhood] [?] little children&#13;
it seemed to me [DE: impossible] strange beyond measure that a grandmother&#13;
would write a book of instruction for&#13;
[DE: all] young mothers watching over infancy, and&#13;
leave out [DE: the infancy of] all reference to the Divine&#13;
Saviour, who uplifted motherhood to&#13;
the companionship of [?], [DE: that] in asserting&#13;
that these has were of childhood and made&#13;
a "little child" the type of heavenly g[?].-&#13;
Oh, my dear friend [DE: I was] you do&#13;
not understand how deeply I was pained the&#13;

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

              <text>Cambridge Ap 18th&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs Hale,&#13;
I have recd your&#13;
letter. I thank you for your real&#13;
kindness. But, is it possible&#13;
that you find it necessary to ask&#13;
me to read my Bible? That&#13;
you consider me as having overlooked&#13;
a doctrine so important, if true&#13;
as the Trinity?&#13;
In my last chapter, I&#13;
have endeavored to say what could&#13;
not offend any sect. I did not&#13;
consider that I had any right to&#13;
instil [instill] my peculiar tenets. You say&#13;
that I do not speak of Christ. But &#13;
if I had done so would you [DE:?] not have&#13;
been quite as much dissatisfied as &#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following text appears along the left side of the page]&#13;
&#13;
The notice you send is very kind. I should like to know Mrs L [?]&#13;
very truly yours&#13;
CA Hopkinson&#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following text appears upside down at the top of the page]&#13;
&#13;
How little you will think of me, when I &#13;
tell you I am sure as ever of the&#13;
war terminating gloriously for our country,&#13;
&amp; that God leads us as fully in the cloud as&#13;
the pillar of fire, &amp; that there will no peace but in freedom.&#13;
&#13;
as you are now? You would have &#13;
missed the recognition of his Deity. It &#13;
is better as it is.&#13;
Before I "professed religion,"&#13;
which I did thirty-eight years ago,&#13;
by joining a Unitarian church, I devoted&#13;
not months, but years to the study of&#13;
the Bible, &amp; read with attention the best&#13;
works on both sides of this vexed question.&#13;
I came to the conclusion that the evidence&#13;
was not in favor of the Trinity, but on&#13;
the other hand, I am free to say, I&#13;
cannot make up my mind as to the&#13;
nature of Christ, from the various [evidences?].&#13;
Nor do I think it absolutely necessary &#13;
that I should do so. In another&#13;
world those things which are darkly hinted&#13;
at, will be fully revealed. Meantime it&#13;
is his character, his mission &amp; his influence&#13;
which concern us, rather than his nature&#13;
&#13;
which is mysterious if not miraculous.&#13;
Perhaps you may think that&#13;
it is important for parents to instil [instill]&#13;
their peculiar religious tenets into their&#13;
childrens minds, with their earliest religious&#13;
training. Let every mother do as &#13;
seems right to her own enlightened conscience.&#13;
I shall not ask you to read&#13;
any chapter or verse of the Bible.&#13;
I have read one which says, "To his&#13;
own master he standeth or falleth."&#13;
I know you speak to me tenderly&#13;
&amp; mean most kindly, But one's&#13;
religious tenets, are the last things I &#13;
should venture to interfere with, so sure&#13;
am I that each person has the&#13;
strongest possible interest in the correctness&#13;
of his own, I know you do&#13;
not mean to hurt me, but is it&#13;
&#13;
is it possible that you do not&#13;
perceive the imputation implied by&#13;
your asking me to consult the Book &#13;
by which all Christians profess to&#13;
be guided? And have you so misread&#13;
me, as not to see, that I&#13;
have said so little on the subject,&#13;
precisely that I might say nothing&#13;
to offend, or pain, or interfere with&#13;
the religious opinions of any one?&#13;
That you could think, I have passed&#13;
through the valleys of sorrow &amp; climbed&#13;
the mountains of desolation that, I have done without&#13;
asking the tender pity of God &amp; looking&#13;
with gratitude at the example of Jesus&#13;
as sustaining &amp; precious - that you&#13;
should address me as a woman living&#13;
without God &amp; unrecognizant of my&#13;
Saviour, I confess pains &amp; humiliates&#13;
me, in proportion, to the estimate I put&#13;
upon your friendship. Are words necessary&#13;
to reveal a Christian character?&#13;

              <text>Cambridge June 18&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs Hale&#13;
I have not written&#13;
to you to say how much I&#13;
have felt for you, for I know&#13;
that silent sympathy is a&#13;
great comfort; and also because&#13;
I did not know your daughter.&#13;
My own grief too has perhaps&#13;
occupied me too exclusively.&#13;
But I have thought I might&#13;
do better than to talk to you.&#13;
That I might perhaps assist&#13;
you a little, now that you&#13;
must sometimes feel inadequate&#13;
&#13;
to the perpetual tax on your&#13;
brain, of a monthly periodical.&#13;
If I can do so, in the same&#13;
measure, as I have hitherto&#13;
done, by a few fitting words for&#13;
the Editor's table. I hope you&#13;
will allow me to do so.&#13;
You will be sorry to hear &#13;
that Mrs. Salma Hale is at&#13;
Somerville, &amp; that she will not&#13;
probably leave the Asylum again.&#13;
At her age, improvement is&#13;
very improbable, &amp; before she&#13;
left me her intellect was much&#13;
deteriorated. She is quite happy&#13;
at Somerville: was desirous to&#13;
go there, &amp; I think that both&#13;
&#13;
George &amp; Sarah, now it is decided&#13;
are much happier &amp; more&#13;
comfortable about her than they&#13;
have been these last six years.&#13;
We will not talk of our own&#13;
sorrows. There are many keener&#13;
ones all around us, which can&#13;
not have the relief of sympathy,&#13;
or the blessed consolations of&#13;
memory. May God himself lay&#13;
his hand softly on your wounded&#13;
heart. He is indeed able to heal.&#13;
With the truest sympathy,&#13;
believe me yours,&#13;
CAH.&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale&#13;
Care of L. A. Godey Esqr.&#13;
Philadelphia.&#13;
Penn.&#13;

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

Having procured such information as I thought necessary&#13;
I write your article at once I hope it will suit you.&#13;
I thought you cared rather more for the statement than&#13;
any thing else. I am quite pleased with my letter to&#13;
you about domestic management. I'd no idea it was&#13;
so good. Do you ever read over something you have written&#13;
when the nausea of composition has passed, to find to&#13;
&#13;
your surprise that what [DE: what] made you sick to &#13;
look at, is quite decent! &#13;
I am glad you are going away to rest &amp; recreate&#13;
I shall work very steadily instead. But the wind is&#13;
fresh here, &amp; the world is green, &amp; there are worse&#13;
things in it than work. Thank you for all your kind&#13;
words &amp; works. - Did you know that dear Mr Hale is at Somerville?&#13;
It is even so - The golden bowl is broken at the cistern&#13;

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

              <text>Cambridge Mar 29th&#13;
&#13;
My Dear Mrs Hale,&#13;
&#13;
The Lady's book&#13;
came safely, &amp; comes yet again for&#13;
April. Thanks for your thoughtful&#13;
kindness. You are always seeing&#13;
what good thing you can do for&#13;
one. I hope you will send to me&#13;
whenever I can be any assistance&#13;
to you so that I may not feel&#13;
that I am a trespasser on the free list&#13;
I wish you would tell me&#13;
what you refer to, in the hints, that&#13;
I lack - not but what I lack enough&#13;
but what particular thing it is you&#13;
mean, so that if the happy [time?]&#13;
of a Second Edition should come&#13;
I might avail myself of your wisdom.&#13;
&#13;
I went to Somerville last&#13;
Saturday, to see our friend Mrs&#13;
Hale. She was then confined to her&#13;
bed - from the effect of a recent&#13;
severe shock of paralysis - she could &#13;
not speak distinctly, but knew me&#13;
perfectly, &amp; laughed &amp; wept alternately.&#13;
She is very nervous &amp; has not much &#13;
control over herself. I left her in&#13;
a grand frolic at the idea of being &#13;
sent to, for anecdotes of Salmon P. Chase.&#13;
She said she could only remember&#13;
that he was a very dirty boy. Yesterday&#13;
I heard directly from her again, she &#13;
was better, &amp; able to drive out. She &#13;
is very happy at Somerville and has&#13;
every comfort &amp; attention. George goes&#13;
out every week to see her and is a &#13;
most devoted &amp; affectionate son to both&#13;
father &amp; mother.&#13;
&#13;
If you see the Atlantic, don't &#13;
imagine for a moment that I&#13;
wrote the article on Salmon Chase. I&#13;
have been asked, I suppose because it&#13;
was known that we were both from&#13;
Keene, But I should not like to be considered&#13;
the author &amp; I think it must&#13;
be painful to Chase to have his private&#13;
feelings and affairs made the property&#13;
of the public.&#13;
We are engaged just now in an &#13;
effort to form a Loyal Ladies League -&#13;
the object being to prevent gold from being&#13;
exported, as it now is, in large excess of&#13;
what comes back. The luxury &amp; extravagance&#13;
of women in velvets laces silks &amp; camel hair,&#13;
involves this outgo of gold, &amp; the consequent&#13;
rise of the necessaries of life among the&#13;
poorer classes. We hope to influence&#13;
public &amp; female opinion to some extent by&#13;
presenting the inevitable &amp; ruinous consequences&#13;
of such a continuation - a year&#13;
a year or two at most will find us all in&#13;
&#13;
the same category with our Richmond&#13;
friends. Butter is 70 cents a lb as you&#13;
may have heard. It really seems no time&#13;
to sweep the streets with satin or to&#13;
sparkle with jewelry.&#13;
Your Lady's book will do &#13;
much towards connecting good taste&#13;
with economy in dress - &amp; I know&#13;
you will be on the side of the league&#13;
&amp; uphold it with all your efforts of &#13;
hand &amp; [?]. I think importations will&#13;
be necessary - but importations of articles&#13;
of luxury should at once be abandoned.&#13;
Our financiers say that such a league&#13;
formed &amp; adhered to among women would&#13;
reduce the price of gold 20 pr ct [per cent], in three&#13;
months. Surely then it is a duty we owe&#13;
to the country, to sacrifice personal vanity&#13;
at least, to the end of the war.&#13;
Always most truly yours&#13;
CAH&#13;
Pray write me your views on this&#13;
subject - I think your Lady's book improves&#13;
constantly, that is compliment enough -&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale.&#13;
Care of L. A. Godey &amp; CO&#13;
Philadelphia.&#13;

My dear Mrs Hale&#13;

of your book will think so, if by&#13;
my with I can make them "feel&#13;
in their pockets" I shall be very&#13;
glad. How glad, I am that you&#13;
liked the [Buckskins?!] Almost word&#13;
for word; it is a picture from life.&#13;
- You will let me know when&#13;
you will want any more &amp;c [etc.?] -&#13;
I am in great haste, having three&#13;
letters to write more tonight. Mrs Hale&#13;
of Keene has been with me the&#13;
&#13;
last week. She is much changed&#13;
I think in looks as well as&#13;
mind by her last illness. I should&#13;
not be surprised if she did not&#13;
live a year. But as she has great&#13;
elasticity, I may be too hopeless. -&#13;
Very truly yours&#13;
CA Hopkinson&#13;

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

              <text>Philadelphia, Ap. 15th, 1864&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs. Hopkinson-&#13;
&#13;
Your letter of March 27th&#13;
has been unanswered because I&#13;
could not find time to write all&#13;
I wanted to say. -&#13;
Enclosed is a notice of your&#13;
"Hints" etc. written by a dear friend&#13;
of mine - who would win your &#13;
love - as you would hers were&#13;
you personally acquainted. You&#13;
will see this in the May no.&#13;
of the L. B. -&#13;
You ask me what[?]&#13;
[?] &amp; allude to: - my dear&#13;
friend - I think you will understand&#13;
what I am about to &#13;
say as the tenderest expression&#13;
of my hearts love to you - the&#13;
heart of one woman, bereft of&#13;
husband must beloved for towards [DE: to]&#13;
another - a[DE:s] sister heart in &#13;
these, the deepest [DE: illegible] sorrows&#13;
&#13;
that the [DE: sorrows] wounds of earthly affections&#13;
can inflict. Those who are called&#13;
to endure these must feel for each&#13;
other almost like a second self.&#13;
Thus I felt, when eagerly reading&#13;
your book and noting its&#13;
perfection of arrangement, style,&#13;
reasoning and intelligent counsel&#13;
to young mothers: all this was worthy of my friend,&#13;
was worthy of my warmest commendation.&#13;
But one lack came over my&#13;
heart with such regret as I &#13;
cannot express - only by [?]: -&#13;
There was no Christ in your &#13;
book!&#13;
My dear friend, you will not&#13;
feel offended with me, because&#13;
you know I write this not&#13;
to wound [DE: you], but because&#13;
I love you with the [DE: deepest] warm sympathies&#13;
of my soul. Jesus Christ&#13;
was "made of a woman" - He [DE: is then,] showed&#13;
[DE: ? a peculiar ?] Himself, while on earth the Friend of&#13;
&#13;
of our own sex. Jane [Jean] Ingelow, in her&#13;
wonderful poem "Honors" [Honours] illustrated&#13;
this "kinship"[DE: ?] is a [?] and [?] [DE: ?] [?]&#13;
The love of Christ; faith in His sacrifice&#13;
for us; [DE: and the] steadfast trust in Him&#13;
for our salvation, and in His example&#13;
and teaching for the wisdom that &#13;
will not only make us [DE: as mothers able] [?]&#13;
the important duties devolved on us&#13;
as mothers- [?] The [DE: ?] source of all&#13;
goodness in women. Faith in Christ is&#13;
to [DE:?] woman what the "all-pervading and&#13;
life-sustaining principle of heat" is to&#13;
the material universe; without this &#13;
aid from the true Light and Life. She [DE;?]&#13;
cannot give light and life to&#13;
her world of home.&#13;
You will say I offer no&#13;
reasons for my assertions; [?]&#13;
[?] Faith is feeling - not reasoning.&#13;
[We?] must 'believe in the Lord Jesus&#13;
Christ," - believe that "The blood of&#13;
[DE: Jesus] Christ cleaseth [ceanseth?] us from all sins"&#13;
- because [DE: these?] the [DE: ?] Gospel teaches&#13;
us These Divine truths, which transcend&#13;
reason.&#13;
Now, my dear friend, will you&#13;
do me one great favor? Will you&#13;
read over the [DE: Go] St. John's Gospel and&#13;
his 1st Epistle, carefully and [?]&#13;
# before you reply to this letter. [?]&#13;
then answer me these two&#13;
&#13;
questions.&#13;
1st Do not this Gospel and Epistle&#13;
of St. John bear witness that Jesus&#13;
Christ is God in the sense&#13;
of the Trinity?&#13;
2: If the Bible is the Word&#13;
of God - a Divine Revelation,&#13;
to [DE: man] for his religious [?]&#13;
must not the [?]time of the&#13;
Trinity be a Divine truth?&#13;
&#13;

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

              <text>Cambridge Mar [?]1st&#13;

&#13;
Dear Mrs Hale,&#13;
I was glad to hear&#13;
from you, &amp; show it by answering &#13;
you at once, &amp; your questions too,&#13;
which is more than you have done&#13;
by me, for I asked you to let me&#13;
know, if my article about the 'deductive&#13;
mind of woman" would be useful&#13;
to you any way, for I meant it&#13;
as a sort of "remunerative effusion"&#13;
for the Lady's book, &amp; such a &#13;
work as I made of remembering &amp;&#13;
finding out what Buckle said!&#13;
and all to be wise enough for the&#13;
Editor's table - and after all, you&#13;
havent read it, I guess, or don't&#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following text appears along the side of the page]&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Lesley of your city has been giving us Lowell lectures,&#13;
what do you think of the development theory, or dont&#13;
you care.&#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following text appears upside down at the top of the page]&#13;
&#13;
To come back to the beginning - Please do &#13;
burn all my letters, please do &amp;&#13;
tell me you have. Affectionately&#13;
CAH.&#13;
&#13;
like it, &amp; may be dont care a [?]&#13;
whether her mind is inductive or&#13;
&amp;other way.&#13;
Now to your questions. Yes, Mr.&#13;
Childs has behaved like a prince of&#13;
the blood, sending me my full demand&#13;
with no word on that point &amp; adding&#13;
the Home weekly without charge. Now&#13;
for your second question - but why do&#13;
you ask it? Did you not write? and&#13;
didn't I? And what do you suppose&#13;
we are likely to think of the matter?&#13;
I agree with you that there must have&#13;
been at least two better worth a thousand&#13;
dollars, yours &amp;mine. But "it&#13;
takes wit to see wit" you know, &amp; so&#13;
we are overlooked by the committee. Never&#13;
mind; I did not expect it at all, &amp; by&#13;
&#13;
the rule of the old woman &amp; her lottery&#13;
ticket, ought therefore to have had it.&#13;
Now for your second question. I do &#13;
like the Home Weekly. What with your&#13;
sense &amp; mine, it is a good paper.&#13;
There's modesty for you, but you see I&#13;
keep behind your skirts. As to being&#13;
'a paper for the nation' thats another&#13;
matter. The nation wont all take one&#13;
paper, or they would all take the Lady's &#13;
book of course - but it really seems&#13;
to me a very fair paper, &amp; he has secured&#13;
a variety of agreeable talent. What do&#13;
you think? Now it is your turn, &amp; I wont&#13;
tell.&#13;
Now, what a much you must&#13;
like me, - you have done me so much &#13;
good. They say we do like those we benefit,&#13;
&amp; you have been so really kind in&#13;
finding employment for my pen - but you&#13;
&#13;
do love to do kindnesses, and so do I - it&#13;
is a great luxury to ourselves, but not&#13;
the less pleasant is it to feel that we are&#13;
appreciated, &amp; I assure you I do entirely&#13;
appreciate the kind heart &amp; the word &#13;
in season, which has been so useful to&#13;
me.&#13;
I am glad to hear all about&#13;
Horatio, &amp; hope I may see him here&#13;
in Cambridge, but how shall I know&#13;
the bearded man, &amp; how will he know&#13;
the old lady? I never knew William&#13;
but I can appreciate fully your&#13;
anxiety &amp; your present happiness. I&#13;
was never separated from my children&#13;
but by death. But I can conceive&#13;
of nothing in life more wearing &amp;&#13;
harassing that such a separation as&#13;
yours has been from William.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
I dont know whether you knew Dr&#13;
Sparks &amp; Dr Beck, both of whom&#13;
have died, within the last week. Mr&#13;
Sparks was here the Tuesday evening&#13;
before his death, &amp; spoke with much &#13;
interest about Mr Hale, saying that &#13;
he should go immediately to Somerville&#13;
to see him, &amp; adding some anecdotes&#13;
of him. I thought it would be a &#13;
sad pleasure to George to know it,&#13;
but I fear Mr. Hale's own mind is&#13;
in too fragmentary a condition to&#13;
receive ideas with any connection.&#13;
Oh how sad to live on, after the sweetness &#13;
of life has gone!&#13;
Dr. Beck was a noble spirit,&#13;
full of liberality &amp; animated patriotic&#13;
interests - Old as he was 68 he enlisted&#13;
with the Company which was ordered&#13;
&#13;
to defend the fort at Provincetown, &amp;&#13;
would have willingly served as a private&#13;
if he had been allowed to do so. Not&#13;
many men worth a half million would&#13;
be ready to sweep the barracks &amp; lie on&#13;
bare boards, from sheer enthusiasm&#13;
in the cause. - but he was ready with&#13;
purse &amp; [scrip?], with soul &amp; arm at all&#13;
times. The poor will miss him greatly&#13;
here, - though his daughter inherits his&#13;
liberality fortunately.&#13;
Who is Nellie Hale who writes in&#13;
the last Lady's book? any kin of yours?&#13;
I hope your Benjamin &amp; Joseph too will&#13;
arrive safely in time in the land of Penn,&#13;
&amp; that all your sorrow will be swallowed&#13;
up in joy. Yes, let us hope now for peace,&#13;
but not for that kind which is no peace.&#13;
a peace founded on the principles of eternal justice is all that&#13;
will endure. Your Lady's book is excellent,&#13;
&amp; deserves its popularity, what more can be said?&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale.&#13;
Care of L. A. Godey Esqr&#13;
Philadelphia.&#13;

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

&#13;
Dear good friend, I certainly&#13;
will do any thing I can do for your&#13;
relief in the Editor's Table, &amp; shall&#13;
be most happy to do what you say,&#13;
just as an assistance to you, and&#13;
shall feel my myself amply repaid&#13;
and most pleasantly so, by the&#13;
possession of your books. - I read&#13;
your article on jewelry and I always&#13;
do all your Editor's Table &amp; liked it&#13;
much - you think Women the ultimate&#13;
of created things I see - they ought&#13;
to be, but I am afraid the ultimatest&#13;
of them are not the most given to jewelry.&#13;
I do love to see a precious stone on the&#13;
hand or at the throat of a woman, where&#13;
it seems to speak not only for itself&#13;
but for a long story. They are always&#13;
suggestive on old people, &amp; interesting,&#13;
but I dont think I like to see young&#13;
people adorned with them.&#13;
My eyes are not much better,&#13;
but I write a little, &amp; shall&#13;
&#13;
[ED: the following line is upside down at the top of the page]&#13;
&#13;
With this I send a receipt for Mr. Godey.&#13;
make it my business to write your&#13;
articles first. Oh! dear - I would&#13;
not be an Editor for any money, &amp;&#13;
"I admire asking you", that you can go&#13;
on so enduringly, &amp; that your wits&#13;
last you so, one moon after&#13;
another - Ellen thanks you for&#13;
your kind message to her, &amp; sends&#13;
her love - If you could see the&#13;
interest which your book creates&#13;
when it comes, you would smile -&#13;
such a hurry to read Miss (or Mrs?)&#13;
Havilands's story - tell me something&#13;
about her if you know her - I&#13;
send you an article wh was sent&#13;
to me by the author, about Womens&#13;
partial suffrage - perhaps you&#13;
may find material in it for&#13;
a paragraph. I heard Lucy Stone&#13;
the other night for the first time, &amp;&#13;
was surprised to see &amp; hear a calm&#13;
gentle person who made some excellent&#13;
points. Affectionately CAH&#13;

              <text>Cambridge Nov. 19th&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mrs Hale,&#13;
I wrote to you&#13;
something like two weeks ago,&#13;
enclosing a "Letter" such as you&#13;
thought might be useful to you,&#13;
for your Editor's Table. I hope&#13;
it was what you wanted, and&#13;
far enough removed from a puff&#13;
to be a probable thing to receive.&#13;
- I think it likely that my&#13;
writing for the Lady's book occasionally&#13;
&amp; having it always on my center&#13;
table may do its circulation no&#13;
harm - &amp; I assure you that I speak&#13;
of its high tone with much less&#13;
reserve than I write to you. Let &#13;
me know if it answered your purpose.&#13;
You asked me some time&#13;
ago, if I wished to write an article&#13;
&#13;
for the Lady's book &amp; I did not&#13;
at the time reply to this question,&#13;
because I had really nothing that I&#13;
specially wished to say that you would&#13;
care to insert. Since that, I have&#13;
written a short article, (perhaps four&#13;
or five pages [DE: on] my recollections of&#13;
Margaret Fuller, Countess Ossili [Ossoli]. It speaks&#13;
of her wonderful powers of intellect etc.&#13;
and her underlying deep, affectionateness of&#13;
character. She was with all her excentricties [eccentricities], &#13;
&amp; with all that we do not&#13;
approve, a fine instance of womanly&#13;
ability. In Europe, her reputation is higher&#13;
than in her own country, &amp; she is considered&#13;
one of the representative women of &#13;
America.&#13;
It has struck me that this article&#13;
might be what you want - if it is,&#13;
please let me know.&#13;
Since I wrote you last I have&#13;
been literally rusticating for a week&#13;
&#13;
in the Country, in a house where not&#13;
an individual except those belonging&#13;
to it, went in or out. You cant [can't] think&#13;
what a body &amp; soul rest it has been&#13;
to me. All day to hear the ticking&#13;
of the clock, &amp; my only variety, driving&#13;
under the November sun through heeless [treeless?]&#13;
woods.&#13;
I have had no word from Mr.&#13;
Childs of any kind. I hope you are&#13;
very well, and I know you have reason&#13;
to be contented with yourself &amp; that your&#13;
life has not been in vain. But a &#13;
perpetual influence is needed of conservative&#13;
good manners &amp; morals, Your&#13;
articles in the Home Weekly are very,&#13;
very excellent. These words fitly spoken&#13;
do a world of good - &amp; more than you&#13;
think while you write them.&#13;
I must say goodbye, &amp; write&#13;
two more letters - a thing I used to like to&#13;
do, I hate now to do - Affectionately Yours&#13;
CAH        &#13;
&#13;
You would like to know Mr. &amp; Mrs. &#13;
Wm A Howell's who live in Cambridge,&#13;
Mr. H. is Editor of the Atlantic &amp; recently&#13;
returned to this Country from his Consulate&#13;
in Venice - perhaps you have seen his&#13;
book, "Venetian Life" which ran through&#13;
its first edition in three weeks, - He is&#13;
about as big as ninepence, &amp; married &#13;
a daughter of Larkin Mead, formerly of&#13;
Chesterfield, father of the Sculptor Mead,&#13;
Didn't you know him? Isn't it funny&#13;
how large oaks from little acorns grow?&#13;
