Text Any textual data included in the document Dear Mrs Hale, I wrote to my Cousin Gov. Kent, for some masculine views on this subject, but have not dared to wait for his answer, as it might be too late to have the article of any service to you. I have therefore thrown together such thoughts as I could muster. I should have copied it out fairly, but was taken sick & employ the first moment that I can hold a pen in writing to you. I hope it may be of service in the way you desire - put it into any shape you wish to -- I have recd a letter from the [?] Request of Maine, Mrs Little endorsing Mr Jarvis very fully, so you need not be afraid to put in his views. Oh I do hope his views, so simple & so tasteful will be adopted! It frightens me to see an extract from Dr. Dewey's Sermon about a Versailles & Valhalla! happily we are not likely to get money enough for any such display of unsuitableness (to call it by no worse name.) I have read the poems you were so kind as to leave me, & thank you very much for the pleasure they have given me - Your last no. Lady's book is received. I must say I think Mrs Haven is almost if not quite equa; to Jane Austen. She is the crown imperial in your garden - I hope you got home well & are the better for your journey. My children are all coming home & I shall next week have a family of twelve. Let me help you whenever I can really be of use. If Gov. Kent sends me suggestions that are valuable to you I will forward them at once to you. I have not seen Mrs Comegys since you were here. Indeed my moments are all pre-spoken and I suppose I shd never have found time to call on her at all, if you had not been there.

I am aware, by the terms of the advertisement that if I have had no prize awarded my stories are not to be returned. Still as they may also think them, entirely worthless I shall be glad that they should come back to their natural parent.- In such a case if Mr Godey can get them & send them I shall of Course refund his expenses, [DE: the] & hold myself ready to do my politest thing for him in return - The titles are, "Rushtow," - and "The belles of the Revolution."

Which means, freely translated "I can go into Boston when I want amusement, which is easier than to be meddling with my neighbors kitchen" Yes, poor Mrs. Comegys! but - do you know, I do not think she can Succeed here by any possibility - I only hope she will not get involved.

If they fall short of the required amount I suppose it will be a more venial fault than too great exuberance. Now- do you want a story? A lady had brought me one to see if it is adapted to the Lady's Book. On reading it, I thought it admirably adapted to that periodical, being well written & in a simple & effective style. But my impression is that you have stories enough on hand & do not wish to buy any, however good. Tell me please if you would like to have her send it on to you. I hope the cool weather invigorates you and that you will not get too wearied with your well-doing. How can you, with all your other cares undertake a department of Mr. Childs paper? - I wish you would send me one of his papers I mean one he publishes now - that I may get a general idea of the length of the columns. Is the new paper to be of the same size and shape? The "Hale place" is for sale at Keene. That lovely spot where we have both passed so many happy hours.

Cambridge Oct 30th My dear Mrs Hale, Herewith I send you the fourth & last of the articles which Mr. Godey desired me to write. I suppose they are somewhere within the limits he mentioned, vis: 2 1/2 pages. & trust they may be what you approve. If there is anything you don't like, strike it out without scruple, as being probably my own sober second thought. Now about Mr Childs. I feel very diffident about being able to fill the department acceptably, but I will try. When am I to begin? I will try a while leaving it to him to discontinue it when he pleases, & reserve to myself the right to do the same if I do not satisfy myself. - As to the price [ED: could be piece], if you say it is right, I presume it is so. -- Do you understand what I am to write what will be amusing or interesting to children, sometimes, as well as to parents? Or that it is to be something like my hints? -- In regard to the last book, any alterations you would be inclined to make I should undoubtedly be pleased with, & be [ED: the following three sentences appear upside down at the top of the letter] You are very kind to try to circulate my book. I wish it might sell better than it does. But you know what a chance a book is! -- grateful for the suggestions. I am not willing to add to the chapter on the religious education, because I wrote that with particular care, & what would be too little for one would be too much for another, if I went into any particular[DE:s] opinions. I am for each mother instructing her own children, & not taking my ideas on the subject. If there is not a recognition of religious truths & principle in the whole book, no one chapter will give it, and besides my book is hints for the nursery, & not education. I think the "fortune made by the Ladys book" looks quite fine - I omitted some particulars, which though true would not add to the general effect, & which really make the splendid concern rather ridiculous - but it is as well to look at things occasionally couleur de rose - In this stately mansion, two lonesome beings wander up & down, & look at their outside & inside finery. No children are on the stairs - no rocking horse at the hall door, No society - no company. No nothing but the fine house - No books - no conversation, no general culture. Only a man & woman & a house. I thank you always for your kind interest. with affectionate respect yrs CAH.

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

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

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

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston Nov. 14, 1829 I have delayed writing you, my Son, with the hope that an opportunity would present by which I should be enabled to transmit you some books along with my letter. I have now the prospect of sending them the last of this month, but I feared you would think my silence was caused by illness or some unpleasant circumstance and so I cannot refrain till that time from giving you the pleasure of knowing I am very well. Your brothers and sisters are also in fine health. I heard from Newport yesterday. Martha Ann & Sarah have had the measles, but they have recovered and are happy as birds. M. gets on well in her Latin. Horatio is contented though he will think you are vastly favored in having such a snug seat at West Point with [the?] hope of gaining the honor or the first Institution in our country. Indeed, my dear son, I think you have a '[price?] put into your hands,' and I hope you are improving it. But why do you not write me oftener? You know how anxious I am to learn all that regards your course of studies and your progress. Do you attend at all to your Greek and Latin? I know the former is not much to your liking, and now you can omit it with impunity I fear you will. But recollect that your mother wishes you to be a scholar as well as a scientific and military student. I know that you cannot excel in all studies, that art is long and life short; but there will be intervals in which you may, by judicious improvement, obtain a knowledge of those languages that are, as it were, the interpreters of thoughts and sentiments that even now influence, buy sympathy, the wise and learned of every nation. Latin and Greek are study in every seminary throughout the world that professes to educate scholars- I wish those languages, or Latin at least, was made a necessary part of the studies at West Point - because I think the youn [young] men would then have the foundation of the acquisition of other languages permanently and systematically established.

But I need say no more, for I am sure you will not think your education complete while you can only speak one among all the dialects of the nation.

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

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

I have not had a good opportunity to send you any books since I last wrote, nor do I think any will occur till the steamboats begin their trips. I have sent papers and one pamphlet, and now forward two others with this letter by a gentleman going to New York who will put them in the mail.

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

I have rec'd numerous congratulations from my friends, and must acknowledge I am myself quite gratified with the share fame or fortune has accorded me on the Centennial Anniversary. The greatest pleasure however, is connected with the idea of the satisfaction my children will derive from the circumstance, and the advantages which my success may be to them. - I have not yet made my visit to my friends at Keene. your aunt is absent at Troy, N.Y. and will not return till next week, so I have deferred my journey till that time; but I had a letter from the dear little girls last week - Martha Ann says I must say to her brother David that she wants an answer to her letter, that she sent him - and she desires you will write a Latin letter. Perhaps, in French would satisfy her. I believe she is making good proficiency in her studies. - I expect Horatio this week he will spend a few days in Boston, and then accompany me to Keene. Willey is merry as ever, and sends a great deal of love to brother David. Apropos - have you rec'd the package I forwarded by Mr Lothrop? I hope so because I fear Mr [?] will want his [?]. - The next letter you write me will, I trust be longer than the last, and let it be descriptive of your studies, pleasures - duties (the last should be first) [etc.?] By the way, you will observe that I have corrected a few words in my poem - I shall give it corrected in the next Mag. Now, my dear Son, I hope your next letter will show you to be very happy, looking on the bright side of the world, and cherishing that enthusiasm which makes the pleasures of life. What signifies it that we cannot obtain all for which we strive? The exertion that aims at eminence in virtue and usefulness is of itself, felicity. And every day that we pass happily is an item in our list of blessings. Never think of waiting to be happy till you have reached this or [ED: page torn] station or age, or [DE: ?] privilige [privililege], that [?]ful and contented and useful now - - Your studies are your business - if you perform your task well, you are entitled to enjoy yourself; and you may look forward with confidence that life has blessings in store for you. None need be wretched. Some are unfortunate, to be sure - but there are no troubles, but those of our own making, which need be considered [?]. Be good - and strive to be useful - I will ask no more to secure my confidence and affection for you - as your Father in Heaven requires no more Affectionately yours Sarah J. Hale Cadet David E.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I went to Newport - the place & people seem much as usual to me - but you would find changes. Mr. & Mrs. Edes are the same, however, & desired much love to you. Henry Baldwin & William [Forsaith?] are both in Boston, working at the printer's trade. Do you wish you were with them? Your Aunt & family in Keene are well, and said much of you. I hope next year you will be able to visit all your friends. I brought Martha Ann with me to spend the winter, Josepha will pass the time at Concord, with her Aunt Barton. Horatio & Willey are well & happy - and my own health is tolerable. With regard to your choice - I highly approve it - and will do all I can to assist you in obtaining the situation. You must yourself to the utmost. There is an examination in Jan. I think, see if you cannot be better prepared to meet it then you have ever been the half-yearly examinations. And try to obtain the favor of Colonel Thayer & all your instructors. [Their?] good word will do much. I will write to Woodbury, the Secy. of War - he is my friend, and if you have good recommendations from West Point, I trust we shall be successful. I am, just now, quite disposed to be melancholy. I believe I named to you Dr. Spurzheim - the great phrenologist from Germany. He died last night! The event has cast a gloom over our city, and it should - for he was a man devoted to doing good - and had he lived to make, as he intended the tour of our country, & lectured before the people, I feel confident his influence on education and social improvement would have been of inestimable value. - He is to be buried next Saturday - and everything which can testify the respect our citizens felt for his character & labors here will be done. Alas - how poor is human life - our hopes & wishes & schemes, how soon they end. And such a man must die in the full strength of his intellect - & in the full pursuit of all that is pure & beneficial to the human race - and others, who are burdens or pests to society live on. But the good ar [are?] blessed in life or death, and that thought should console us for Dr. Spurzheim. He was good as well as great. The children all send love. Hastily but affectionately, Sarah J.

He was not in the same Reg. but expected to be stationed at the same place - there were eleven companies there, he said. How should you like this station?

Accordingly I thought I might as well apply to him respecting your appointment in the Army - and I wrote to him for that purpose. Before my letter reached Washington he had departed on a tour to the South. One of the acting Secretaries politely wrote me, saying my letter had reached the office & should be handed to Mr. W. as soon as he returned. I do not know what effect this application will have, but I hope it may prove beneficial. I am desirous you should be stationed in N.E, if possible. Would it be of any effect if I should write to Col. Thayer? - Or is he so nearly being superseded that his favor is vain? - I shall go to Greenfield, Mass. the first or second week in May with your sisters, and leave them at the Seminary of Mr. Jones. I wish you could borrow the horse of [Pacolet?] and skim through the air, & visit us on the first of May. I expect your Aunt Sarah from Keene at that time, & all my children but you will be here, and we hope to be very happy. The Kembles are making a great sensation here. I have not yet seen them but think I shall go once, if your Aunt comes. - - My labors for the last ten or twelve weeks have been rather more severe than my health makes pleasant - but I have toiled hoping to earn enough extra (that is besides the magazine) to allow me to visit West-Point in June. I do hope to see you at the last examination. What time must I come? & how long will it be necessary to stay? The 2nd edition of Flora is printed - & I have a school book nearly ready for the Press. H. & W. send love. Yours affectionately SJ Hale Cadet David E. Hale West-Point N. York.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, April 2d 18[?]6. My dear Son - This is the sixth letter I have written you since you left Annapolis, yet I find by your letters that not one of mine has reached you, I shall mail this for Savannah, and write to the P.M. to forward it you. Your letters have all reached me, and have been very welcome, I assure you. That from [?] was the last. I have been very anxious and concerned on your account. You are in my thoughts constantly, by day, and by night, and most earnestly do I pray that you may be preserved, and returned to me safe and in good health. - Dangers and hardships I know you must encounter; these are the lot of your profession, nor would I have you seek to be exempted from its duties when your country requires your services. But I am more and more dissatisfied with your profession. I hope, if you are returned once more safely to the [peace?] establishment, that you will in earnest exert yourself to enter the civil engineering profession. - I cannot feel willing to have you continue in the army all your days, and be liable to be sent to the Gulf of Mexico, or beyond the Rocky Mountains. - But we will talk over all these matters when you come home from these Indian wars. I see by the papers that Gen. Gaines has left the troops at Withlachochee [Withlacoochee] and gone to New Orleans; and that there is some prospect that the Indians will submit without more fighting - this last item of news is, I fear, too good to prove true. There has been many rumors afloat respecting disagreements among the commanding officers, - but indeed we cannot place much reliance on the accounts from Florida, the news of one day being usually contradicted, in part at least, by the next mail. Many of these rumors doubtless arise from the free and easy suggestions of the numerous letter-writers at Washington - each on being solicitous to tell some great things the [?], or party assertions of the Capitol are caught up and transmitted to ends of the Republic. I do not, therefore, place much reliance on the reported operations of the Army, till they appear officially announced. - Pray write yourself, as often as possible, and tell me everything respecting your situation and prospects which you can communicate. Your brothers and sisters are very well, and have no cause of trouble, except concern for brother D. - William writes me (he is still at New Hampton) that he feels very bad about you, but hopes it will turn out for the best. He is writing a novel, has laid the scene in the time of Chivalry; so I suppose we may expect some warlike descriptions. April 9th - I had written the former part of my letter, when I rec'd a note from Mrs. DuPré, saying that she and daughter would be in Boston in a day or two - so I kept my letter, in order to add something more particular about your sisters. But she has not yet come, tho' I learn that she is at Greenfield. I had a letter yesterday from you, date Fort Doane - thank you for thus remembering that I am anxious for you. I do hope the affair will soon be over. The climate is as much to be dreaded as the savages. - But resolution and the good providence of God will, I trust carry you through all these hardships and dangers safely. - I have this day rec'd a letter from your sister Frances - I wish you could see it - she has lately turned her thoughts to the subject of religion - and trusts that she is in heart a christian. She writes calmly and meekly, but with the spirit of love for her friends, and for every one which she never before expressed. - She says, "I pray often for brother David - and I feel, indeed almost know that he will return safely." So you find, my dear Son, that [their] there are true and warm hearts beating for you. - - Josepha has entirely recovered her health; and F. says is "handsomer than ever." - The Barbers send their best regards to you - Elizabeth Ingalls says her love is the least she will send you so far - and all your friends, (and mine) here express many good wishes for your safety and return.

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

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

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

Tell me of your going on - of your "sweet-heart" - of the state of the country, &c [etc.] - By the way, the state of the country is truly "horrible" - You must write often, or I shall fear you are burned out or up. - I do not think there will be actual, formal war - but there may be a little skirmishing. You know that Gen. Scott is in Maine. The people there have the war fever quite [warm?] - but it will die away, I think - Little Vic will not like to go to war with her best customer. Who will buy all the Birmingham [wines?] [etc.] A war would be bad enough for America, but much worse, it appears to me, for England. I had a letter from Horatio - dated Jan. 4th the day of sailing from Rio - They are round the Cape before this - expect to reach Valparaiso next month, I believe. He was well and in good spirits. Everything had gone on prosperously. - Willey has gone back to College and Greek - Josepha writes of parties, balls, beaux, [etc.] and Fanny is up to the eyes in engagements to parties - has two for this week. - Cousin Sarah is smiling is ever, and Miss Buell is busy in preparing for the wedding - Miss [G.?] Andrews is to be married on Wednesday (this week) I wish I had the $300 to send you in this letter - and if, you do not readily obtain it - if you tailor disappoints you, let me know it immediately - I can spare $100 - perhaps 200 - for a few months, Till you can [?] it to repay - Perhaps you may obtain $100 of same of the officers at the Point - that is, in case you are disappointed from N.Y. - I send you two papers to-day - I have mailed papers every day or two - Do they reach you?

[Mrs?] Yates will send you a letter of introduction to some of [her?] friends there, if you wish it. - Dr. Yates has been quite ill - Mrs. Putnam is dangerously sick - no hopes of recovery - Our S.A.

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

My dear Son - Your letter reached me a day or two since - I have been reflecting deeply on your prospects, and what course it would be best for you to pursue, and am decided that you had better resign at once and come home Your brother Horatio has written on the subject of money - he will be able to advance you funds to begin with, after you have spent a few months at home, and got rid of your war habits, you can go to the West or South and engage as a Civil Engineer. I doubt not, in a situation far more pleasant and lucrative than even a Captaincy in the army would offer.

[etc.} - I hope, therefore, that you will send your resignation immediately, and take your course northwards very soon - - We have a pleasant home for you, and our school promises to be a profitable one. You need be at little expense while with us, and you have assisted me when I had no other resource, so you need not feel any troubled thoughts you do not bring much money with you. By the way, you had better only take sufficient to pay your travelling expenses, if you have more due, you can draw, can you not? - It will be better, because there is a discount of from five to fourteen per cent on Southern bills. - I wish you had resigned a year ago - but I thought that the last campaign would settle the war, and that there would be the best opportunity for you to leave. I have never been willing to admit the idea that you were to remain your life-time in the army. And your last letter makes me feel every moment an age till I hear that you are free.

I hope they will reach you - that they have done so. I told you about Horatio's appointment in my letters - He has a salary of $2000 per annum, outfit of $1500 and travelling expenses and rations, the same as a Naval officer. He is now in Boston, expecting every day to be summoned to Washington to meet the Scientific Corps. (The Expedition will not, probably sail till July, or August. You will be in Boston before that time, I trust. And now I have other news for you. I have made arrangements for your sisters to come to Boston next month, and open a day school the first of May. I shall take a house and be at housekeeping, I hope, when you come home that we shall have a few pleasant weeks, all together before Horatio sails - What do you think of the plan? It will do well after we are once established - but the beginning is a somewhat formidable [?], and calls for what we have not - cash. - Horatio will furnish the funds as soon as he can draw pay; but till he is called to Washington he cannot ever obtain his outfit. Therefore if you can forward a little money soon it will be very acceptable. The discount is not very great - on U.S. bills only one percent. The price of tuition for our pupils will be $100 per year - therefore with 25 pupils, which I think we can calculate upon - we shall have $2500, per year. This, with my literary income will make us quite independent - and you may begin to lay by your surplus revenue, in order to settling in life, as the saying [is?] - I do not intend to tax you much longer, if I can help it. - Willey is well, at New Hampton, and brilliant, quite, as a scholar. If he lives he promises to be quite a genius. - - Now pray write immediately, a [good?] long letter, and tell me about movements of the army, and when you hope to be at liberty to come home. In June I shall expect to see you, without fail - earlier, if possible. Your friends here are all in good health. - Your destiny is often a subject of inquiry, and much interest is expressed to see you return safe. I shall mail with this, a copy of our last Seaman's Aid Report - and a paper - I have been very busy in several literary engagements, and the Lady's Book is very successful. - But when you come here we shall pour the whole story into your can. - And now, my dear child, may God bless and keep you - Your Affectionate Mother S.J.

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

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

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

S.J.H. all my warnings or advice I have only your best good in view - I do so want to have you live as you will wish you had done when you are called to leave the world - I want to have you [?] - and the peculiar temptations to which I know your profession will subject you. I must [advert?] to, in order to counsel you to avoid them. I wish I could send you my table load of books. I have sent a number of papers, my Magazine, [etc.] - and hope some of them will reach you. I rec'd your letter with the 50 dollars, have had the bill exchanged, giving a premium of 6 per cent - the money was a great help to me - for my expenses are, this year, more than my income will be. - Horatio goes on bravely at Col. It is now vacation - but at the Exm. he had the first part in his class, and is called the best scholar which has been in the University these many years. - In short, he is the public favorite, and I am now only anxious to guard him from the vanity which so much flattery and success has a tendency to inspire, and keep him calmly and perseveringly employed in deserving the [DE: ?] praises he meets with, and If he can only pass safely through this ordeal of prosperity, without allowing the commendation of the world to become necessary to his further progress, I shall feel sure that he will, if he lives twenty years longer, be really a great man. Hitherto he has shown no undue spirit of pride or exultation - he is the same quiet, studious unassuming youth, as he was when a boy. And he is very much beloved. I do so want to have you meet together. And next spring, I hope we [?] [ED: page torn]t.

Your Uncle & Aunt Hale have gone on a tour to Niagara, and Ohio to visit your Aunt [?], and see the wonders of the West. - I should like to make a tour thither myself - but must not think of it [ED: the following text appears along the left side of the page] till you can go with [ED: page torn] - [Mrs.?] & Miss Ingalls - The Parker family, Mrs Faxon & [ED: page torn] Mrs Pierpont [DE: and others] desire particular regards to you [ED: page torn] all my friends are enquiring for you your Mother Dear Brother - I was disappointed at finding you would not be able to come north this year; I should like to see you on many accounts.

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston Oct 15th 1836 My dear Son Your letter of Sept 10th containing one $20 bill reached me safely - The discount on it was but triffling [trifling] - 2 per cent - and it was discounted on sight by the [broker?]. - I prefer that you should send me money, when you can spare it, rather than an order on the paymaster. - I shall doubly enjoy it as coming directly from you - and there is little or no danger in sending it by mail. - I wrote you a long and large letter, (with the help of Fanny and Willey) - I hope you have had that some time since - also a letter acknowledging the reciept [receipt] of the $50 I do hope that you will soon be released from the Florida prison. I see by the papers, that there is some likelihood your Regt. will be allowed to come North, and some other troops supply your place. Is it so? - Frances has gone back to Troy, and is again engaged in French and Music - - H was here today - he is full of plans to gain a name in the world - thinks that all he wants is a little more cash and he should go ahead bravely. But after all, his want of money is a spur to his talents. The Hales are not much in love of labor for the pleasure of the thing, and had my children inherited a fortune, I have many doubts., that the world would have been little benefitted by their talents. But now, you must all "do or die" - and I hope will do what will gain more than money could, the applause of your own hearts, which only arises from the consciousness of self-exertion in a good cause - - Do you ever get any news-papers, pamphlets [etc.] - from me? - I send a package often - - but the way is long and they may be [subtracted?] by the newsmonger. I would send every week, if I knew they reached you. What a literary dearth you must suffer[?] - Here we have a repletion of books - but everything else is scarce and dear. The season has been very cold - frosts occurred in August, which destroyed the corn [etc.] - and last month, Sept - there were falls of [snow?] in many places in New York, Vert. and Mass. - In consequence of the failure of the crops, and the great increase of travelling, which [seems?] to bring everybody to the city, board is very high, house-rent is enormous - and money very scarce - "Hard Times" in the [?], with almost every one. - But I don't see that any one really suffers. People like to complain; and in this free country they should never be questioned in T[ED: page torn] right of grumbling. I have made an arrangement with [ED: page torn] editor of the "Lady's Book" Phila. the first of Jan. our publications will be united, and I shall edit the new work - Mr Godey publishing it simultaneously in Bost and Phila. - I shall gain by this arrangement - then I have a new work in prep, will be out in two or three weeks - "The Ladies' Wreath" - a Selection from the Female Poetic writers of England and America" - it will be a vol. of over 400 pages, ornamented with two engravings, and as a Gift book more beautiful than Flora. I think it will be popular - The fifth edition of Flora is published - - that work has been very profitable to me. But yet, my expenses increase faster than my means - and will till H. is out of College - then I hope to have a holiday of a few weeks - and see my children all together once more in this world - Write soon - Mrs & Miss Ingalls particularly request to be remembered to you; so does Mrs Grigg - and her mother. - I met the Rev. Mr Gilmore and lady of Charleston S.C. lately in Boston - they inquired for you particularly, and requested that I would convey to you their best regards and wishes. Your affectionate Mother S.J.

Text Any textual data included in the document Fort Dade June 18 My dear Mother - I have just received your letter of the 22 May. It is with deep despondency that I take up my pen to answer it. I have applied to [DE: Gen.] Gen. Jesup for a leave of Absence for four months, fully expecting to obtain it, but he has refused saying that the number of Officers in Florida is so reduced that the interest of the service requires that he should let none go unless in extreme cases, such [as?] sickness [etc.]. Now, I think it rank injustice. Furloughs are granted according to length of service & I have done as much duty as almost any officer in the regiment, and more than the majority of them. Furloughs have been given to several who have less claims. I wish I had never entered the army. If I had not been a young & lasy [lazy] fool I never should have [done?]. There have been instances of the grossest partiality, 1st Lt.[?] of my Regt. has been ordered twice to Florida, & has never been here. There are six or seven out of 18 first -Lieut. who have never been here in our Regiment. I wish I could get sick, but I am of such an intractable constitution that although I have taken no care of myself I can't get sick if I would. All this is very boyish, but I feel so provoked at the prospect before me that I can't help it. You can't conceive, no citizen who has lived peacably [peaceably] among his friends and fellow citizens, can imagine what a disgusting thing war is, even on so small a scale as the present. It induces in all, a perfect disregard for the rights & even lives of others even our friends. A Genl. or Superior Officer, cares no more for the lives of his men than so much chaff. It induces a recklessness concerning ourselves & our own interests, which is worse yet. Penned up in in small hot-pickets in the [summer?] & wading through swamps in the winter in pursuit of a gang of [bandits?], robbers, murderers & runaway negroes - I will think of it no longer. One thing I promise myself, that if I ever get out of Fl. I will set myself seriously to get my bread by the sweat of my brow - The Cheifs [Chiefs] & Indians left Tampa on the night of the 3d inst. all except Abraham. Some say the cheifs [chiefs] were forced off by the hostile Mickasukies, but I beleive [believe] it was all [?] by them [to?] leave. They have violated their treaty & they ought to be [?], and slain, without mercy. I expect to go to Micanopy in a few days, to remain their [there] this summer. It is a pleasent [pleasant] healthy station. please direct your next to that place. I am here with the 6[th?] Regt. Infantry as Ordnance Officer. Nothing to do but to issue Ammunition. I lay on my back all day & ready my only book, Shakespeare; when I get through, I begin again & read it through. I suppose when I get home I shall be so much improved as to be taken for a Seminole just caught I hope you have not engaged any young lady for [ED: page damaged] for we soldiers hold promises of that sort in great contempt till we are past [noosed?] - I have got some cash which I kept for my intended journey but I will send it to you, as I shall not [DE: yet] want it.

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

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

You cannot conceive how very, very, different every body with whom I was formerly acquainted appears to me. To begin with my uncle, I think he has changed for the worse, his health is not very good, his spirits seem low and he has most terribly rusticated, but if I recalled right he always was so, though it never struck me so forcibly as at present. My aunt, she has changed very little in personal appearance but how much are her manners altered towards me - You would hardly think it possible or rather I cannot, that we are the same persons we once were, that she can be 'aunt Sarah' and I that David E.

Elizabeth Wilson, how shall I describe her, she insists that I am an old friend of hers, that she always depended upon me alone at school to wait on her home carry her books et cetera. Only think of walk to the [Matrimomnial?] Tree with a beautiful young lady at sunset. I went to a dance at Miss Fiske's School last evening, you can judge therefore how intimate I am with the young ladies there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We have had a pretty severe and thorough examination as our class was very large. My sensations were not of the most agreeable kind when our section was marched into the examination hall where our fate was to be decided whether we should receive our warrants as cadets [DE: of] or be dismissed from the institution We were required to demonstrate on the black board the rules in Algebra and theroems [theorems] in Geometry [DE: besides;] and to answer innumerable questions. It required us little courage [DE: and] to go before the Academic Staff (who were mostly officers in the Army and therefore dressed in full uniform) to be examined. I was embarrassed a little at first but soon became more composed. There was nothing which served to render me calmer than the consciousness that in order to do well I must be perfectly composed. I believe that I [DE: did] succeded [succeeded] pretty well - did not miss any question in Algebra or Geometry; in French I did not write my sentence exactly right, one word I believe being wrong. My standing in Math. is fourteenth in French about the same. This is pretty good considering the size of the class yet I suppose you wold [would] wish it better. However there is time between this and the June examination to rise. I have on the whole [DE: g] obtained the standing I expected and I am happy. Indeed I do not think I can be more re One good proof of it is that I am not [DE: /] in the least home-sick I think of home it is true and of my good mother and little William, but not with the same feelings I had when [as?] a farmer among the rocks of N.H. You say that you have not resolved whether to get a midshipman's warrant for Horatio or to make him a Lawyer. There are two or three objections against his being a midshipman. One is that they do not get an education another that personal health and strength is required more than anything else. However If Horatio wishes to go to sea permit him rather than oppose his inclination I have written to him but have as yet received no answer. Give my love to him and William. Also remember me to my sisters. Your affec. Son D.E. Hale P.S. I have been vaccinated.

These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource.

I wish you would find some means to send it on, the first opportunity. I arrived at West- Point one day later than I expected. The steamboats Ohio, and De Witt Clinton, which were to start on the day that I arrived at N. York could not take me on board as they were to run a race and should not stop at West Point. I had scarcely money sufficient to bear my expenses and was obliged to borrow of one of the cadets to pay the [?] [etc.] I wish then that you would, if it will not be inconvenient send me a dollar to pay old debts. I had a fine time at N. York city the night before I left. I went to Niblo's Garden, a most splendid place. It was by all means the most beautiful sigt [sight] I ever saw, far surpassing the Theatre. The long walks were arched over and lighted by innumerable lamps which looked like globes of fire set very close together. The pillars that supported these arches, and through which the green shrubbery could be seen and the birds heard singing, were transparencies covered with figures and looked as I should imagine the stained glass we saw would look if lighted within. Then there were grottoes, chinese pagodas, lighted within besides a large transparency representing Washington, Franklin, [etc.] over which was written "Independence" in letters of [fire?] In the centre was a globe of fire whirling round incessantly. Give my respects to Mrs. Bancroft and tell her anything that will apologize for my taking leave of her so abruptly. She must think me half crazy in fact I was half asleep Remember me to Miss Bancroft and the gentlemen. My love to William. Your aff. Son, D.E.

Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation.

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

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

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

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

I hardly know what you mean by a topographical corps, although I have looked for the long word in my dictionary - How do you like the prospect of war? It will be quite an advantage for those hot headed Southerners to have some fighting, in which they can spend their superabundant fierceness, and let us, sedate Northerners alone - You do not seem to know that I am at present, not a scholar, but a teacher in the Troy Female Seminary, paying up, as fast as possible, the debt which I contracted while a scholar - I am quite happy and the future is bright before me - Sister is a scholar, and will be so, for some time, I suppose - I hope you will come home in August - I shall go home during the vacation, and you might come directly here and go on with us to Boston - And then for the first time in many many years, our whole family will be reunited, and then will come the time, when we shall need Horatio's castle to contain us all - By the by, you will be of age in February, and take your station in the world as a man - I congratulate you upon it. I shall expect a letter from you on the day you are twenty-one, informing me, what side you have taken in the political discussions, [etc.] - and I will answer it on the twentieth of March, on which day I shall have arrived at the wise age of seventeen - How quickly the years pass away! - The snow is nearly three feet deep, and the air is thick with the flakes - Much as we have been wishing for snow, we have already exclaimed "enough", and are wondering when the end will come - We have had several sleigh rides, this winter, a pleasure which I suppose you do not enjoy - Pray, do not send another letter as short as your last - You promised in one of your letters, to relate to me your hairbreadth escapes, love-affairs [etc.] and you have not fulfilled your promise - My roommate or chum desires to be remembered, and wishes for further acquaintance - So good bye Yours affectionately Frances M.A. Hale My dear brother, Two or three of the young ladies have [been] in my rooms talking about the examination and my ideas, [and?] so confused with thinking about it that I can think of nothing else, it is now within three weeks of it and the young ladies talk of nothing else - At Christmas we had a week's vacation which was very pleasantly spent as we had during it a quilting and concert and a little ball at which five gentlemen were allowed to be present and to talk and dance with the young ladies quite a wonderful occurrence I can assure you; since then we have had one sleigh-ride which was very pleasant though rather cold and now we must settle down and never look [up?] from our books excepting on Sundays. I am very much obliged to you for the present you sent to us, I think that I shall need it soon to furnish the house which Horatio is going to build. Has he informed you of his wise plan of building a house large enough to hold us all a few weeks after he has graduated?

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

I congratulate you and dear Fanny on the birth of her third son. I am glad to learn, [DE: that] from Mrs Hodge, that the mother is "doing well". No doubt you are au courant to all Princeton news. The last item, Alice Potter's engagement to Mr Lippincott of your city, excites much interest. He is an excellent young man, of whom every lady speaks well. - I trust this not involve the "[woe?]" denounced [upon?] such in the holy Bible! What frigid [zone?] snow we have had the past winter! The drifts in sight of us still, are like mountain waves. Notwithstanding the severity of the season [Laulie?] has been able to attend school constantly, and to pursue her studies with intense interest.

We were all pleased to see our charming [?] here again and [DE: only] regreted that we had only a few glimpses of her during her brief visit to Princeton My dear friend, we are growing old, and ought to see each other more frequently. The friends whom we have known and loved are passing away "like leaves in wintry weather," and those still spared are exceedingly precious. When the Spring renders the country pleasant come and pay us a visit to make up for the short and unsatisfactory one, when the sudden departure of porr Mrs Harrison had cast a gloom over the large circle of your friends in Princeton I know the claims the public have upon you are imperative but has not the friendship of many years a claim that you will kindly acknowledge? Mary, Sarah and [Laulie?] jam in affectionate greeting to you, my dear Mrs Hale, and all of your household. Please give my best love to Fanny, and kindest regards to Dr Hunter.

May you long continue to edit the magazine for "women," & their higher interests! If my life be spared I hope to make some small contribution to its contents, during the present year.

Mrs Hodge was so kind as to invite the child, but she was seized with a sudden illness which we feared would end in scarlet fever, and she could not see Minnie after that. Thank God it did not prove to be that fearful disease and she is now well enough to be out again to-day, for the first time, since the attack. I have found it impossible to form a "Band" [here?] for "Women's Mission to Women." Every Christian Woman in the wide world ought to take a deep interest in this Mission, but unhappily they do not. The contribution I enclose I have made up in my own family principally. Mrs Charles Olden as you will see gave $5.00. I did not ask her for it, but on the contrary declined it, hoping she would give her Twenty; but she said it would not be convenient this year, as she had so many demands upon her purse and it would oblige her if I would add it to my contribution. So, my dear Mrs Hale, you will consider the $20.00, enclosed as the supscription [subscription] for which I became responsible for 1866. We had last evening at our house "The Eclectic". Rather a pretentious name for a reading circle! The rooms were quite well filled with more than forty persons, and it was quite a trial for Sarah Hodge and Nannie Field to read before so many.

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

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Charlottesville (Albemarle Co.)Va. Aug. 27, 1829 To: Mrs. Sarah J. Hale. Dear Madam: - Your letter of July 16, has been received. I have delayed an answer until I was about to leave this place, for the purpose of trying my own perseverance in the steps which I am about to take - my inclinations & feelings prompting me to return to my "air home" and the scenes of my dearest recollections; but my ambition leading me into the uncertainties of adventure - whence either they may be crowned with success or defeated by misfortune. - My resolution is now fixed - and I am about to try a scheme which has engrossed my thoughts and inquiries for the last five months. -- On the 29th inst. I shall take the Southern Stage for Salisbury, N. Carolina; whether I remain there any considerable time is uncertain, but it is probable until a cool weather comes on; - when I may go South - if my "air castles" shall have then vanished - - - - It would have pleased me much to have been a [shorer?] in your visit home - To have seen my old friend and master -"Col. Boston" noosed in those silken fetters with which he has been so long dandling - May all good and kind Spirits watch over and bless him! I perfectly agree with you in your sentiments of his character and virtues. - His are kind & ardent feelings - too sensitive sometimes, for his own convenience, but always honest and honorable. I wish him success in his present undertakings - One thing only, have I against him - that of neglecting to answer a letter which I wrote him, while at [?]; but I have properly concluded that he has more important business and [?] calls than waiting upon me - that his opinion of me is by no means as favorable as I may have flattered myself - so adieu. I am pleased to notice the late [arranger?] - cuts of [?] Spectator. Mr. French I think manages his paper with taste & credit, and my old friend & companion Metcalf who finds an opportunity for the display of his genius & industry. It might be a good establishment in any other state than New Hampshire; for such is the competition that only a small profit can be realized from a newspaper establishment in that place, though it may yield there a good support. I am in hopes that Metcalf will succeed - he brings a good share of industry & good habits to the undertaking. - - - Mrs. [Forwith's?] remembrances, I believe, you put upon me for a quiz - but no matter - The friendship which I formed for Mrs. Forwith & family, while at Newport, I am now, and always shall be happy to remember, as well as for yourself, and many other of the good people, whom I have met "in days o' auld lang syne." - - - You ask me to "give you a description of the Virginia ladies - that you may publish it in the Magazine." Oh, no! I never perpetrated a line for the public eye, in all my life - nor can I now enter into a dissertation on a subject so intricate and presenting so many [?] varieties & changes as do these, the very sine qua non of all the perfection & loveliness. I cannot do this. Were I to make an effort I could not do them justice; for I have not had time and opportunity to know much of the real character of the people of Virginia - and much less will I meddle with that if the ladies! - - Since I have been here I have kept myself rather retired, as I felt myself a stranger among them and perceived the stifled prejudice of the people against "Yankees" - or northern people; yet I have often been invited to attend parties, et cetera. I have attended two cotillion parties, where I have met some very pretty ladies [ED: the following appears in red ink, written sideways on the page through the above text, and is difficult to read. Follows page 4, which references the red insert] and [low?] as any that I have ever seen - So that all is not [gossip?]! Yesterday towards evening, I returned having spent two days very pleasantly. Indeed none can complain of the hospitality. as for Virginians, though they are jealous of Northern people, [correctly?][?] [?] [much?] [?] no [?] [?]"Yankee peddlers [?] adventurers- I must conclude, for the rain is falling fast & the thermometer stand at 64° all day, which has quite [diminished?] [?] [senses?] - But, when I shall leave reached a warmer clime you shall again hear from poor 'Tom Quigg. A wanderer." I look forward to the time, when I shall again meet you together [?] [?] [?] [?] -fondly [nothing?] [?] trusting to me [that?] happiness [at?] a [future?] time which will [do?] [for?] the present. Lo Adieu, dear reader - my grateful remembrances are ever yours - - - Roswell Elmer, Jr. ladies. I should not utter my real sentiments were I to say, that they exceeded in beauty & accomplishments the fair of my own state, & were I to speak against them I should do them an injustice. - They spend more of their time in dancing & visiting and less to study & to improvement of the mind than ladies of the same wealth in N.E. They make but a light matter of riding 15 miles on horseback to a dinner party (Indeed [they?] can ride no other way on account of the badness of the roads, and the bye paths in which they have to travel across plantations, [etc.]) The prettiest dancer that I have met among the ladies was Miss Randolph, a sister of Dr. Jeff. Randolph - she is the youngest of the family - about 17. She is not handsome, nor are any of the family. Mr. T.J. Randolph is a man of about 35 years of age, six feet two inches high & quite spare in form - His right arm is useless from a wound received from his brother-in-law (Fawcett who married his sister) with a dirk knife in a quarrel. Fawcett is a dissipated man, and becomes mad when intoxicated - His wife died four years since, and it is said by many to have been occasioned by his ill-treatment. Mr. Randopl is as much esteemed as any man in the county He lives at a beautiful residence called "Edgehill"(tho' not the scene of a no[ED: page damaged] that title, published in Richmond last season. The day before yesterday I took a ride down to Everettsville, about eight miles distant, to visit some friends with whom I had become acquainted there. I had an opportunity of seeing the plentious [harvest?] & every thing pertaining to a country life. - Col. Rodgers thinks his corn crop will amount to [7,500?] bushels & his wheat crop in proportion - Imagination can hardly conceive the beauty of [these?] luxurious [fields] of golden grain. I went about a mile & a half further to the plantation of Col. Lindsay where I stayed until the next evening. I had spent a day, before, with Col. L. and now came to bid him good bye for the last time perhaps! His hospitality I can never forget - To meet with the friendly & hospitable, in a land of strangers, is like the cheering rays of the noonday sun - dispelling the mist of sadness which dwells upon the mind of the wanderer. His farm consists of about eight hundred acres of land & fifteen negroes - and he is himself a practical [farmer?]. His house, two stories high tho' not large or splendid, but surrounded surrounded with beautiful shade trees. With an agreeable wife and family of six children - the oldest daughter of 17, just married. - I could not fail to be agreeably entertained. The house was not finished, or furnished with the splendid furniture which you meet in the houses of farmers of half the wealth in N. England; but every thing appears in a most rustic form. But still they live at their ease, - [DE: and] every thing [DE: must] being done by the servants. With regard to the employment of the ladies - they would be considered idle by the people of the north; But who would be industrious if they could do without exertion? Many of the ambitious middling class of people are industrious & in some measure follow the customs of the north - but the customs & habits are so fixed that they cannot well get along without falling into the modes of the majority. Every kind of laborious work must be done by the negroes.

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

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Mamaroneck May 16th - 63 My dear Mrs Hale, I did not hear until yesterday of your loss, or I should not have been as late as this in offering my sympathy. Mrs Godey seems to think that it had been previously told me - but I have been so ill and not of the world that I had not heard it, - indeed I could scarcely believe that what I read was true. I had measured my life & health, as it were - by your daughters, as our illness was of almost the same date, If I had [?] [feverish?] it would be of like duration. But how merciful that she was called away "suddenly"-. No long wearing, racking decay, - In many instances of which I have witnessed among invalids the past three years, & until [?] and [soul?] cry out for rest & peace! And you have been spared that exhausting [?] watch of alternate hope and trembling fear. Truly it is merciful; for you know that to her the transition was all gain. I will not say, how sad for you my dear Mrs Hale. You have lived too long in the light, and have seen too many of life's transitions, to look on this as more than a short seperation [separation], - a going before, - and you surely have a strong arm now supporting you. One on which you leaned when you struggled so bravely to lead your children along the path of life in goodness & excellence, - One that will support and strengthen you, to the last trial of earth, - whatever else may be taken away. Mrs [?] Godey writes me that you bear up nobly, - and adds a fervent "God Bless her!" - with other words of the deepest sympathy and appreciation. I am sure you do, - and may you find in the tenderness of friends, and the filial piety of those of your children who remain, all the earthly comfort that can be given. Owing you more a daughter's respect & duty - Gratefully as of old Alice B Haven Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Andover Mass. Oct. 3d 66 My very precious friend - You cannot tell how much I wish to see you - and how sweet your friendship is & has ever been to me. You often speak of a wish to see me in Phil. - I now hope to be there for a few days in this month and shall try to be at the meeting of our society; but I will write to you more upon that subject by and by. I have kept that letter in order to influence a very rich lady - hoping to get her to give a large amount she is just left with a million & a half & is childless - I hope and shall greatly try to get in many ways donations for our society. I have not yet done very much, all the spring my health was very poor and I did not feel able for the task. And during the summer I have had a house full of company which have taken my time and strength. - If I have time before going to Phila. I will try and collect some for another box. - Darling friend - I wish I could sit by your side and press a warm kiss upon your dear lips as of old - Oh, I have so much to say to you - words I wish I could breathe into your dear sympathizing loving heart - How sweet your friendship has been to me how precious your words of sympathy and love, you can never know. - but you do know that I love you most tenderly. - Now dearest where can I begin - how can I write to you all I would whisper in to you ear. - "I would I were a bird" - but alas! now I must use the pen. You my precious friend know how tenderly & lovingly - how faithfully & devotedly I watched over [my?] dear departed husband. - I can say truly that from the time we were married until his death - both in health & sickness - I always most truly affectionately & devotedly watch over my departed one. - that in all my words and act & life I was a most devoted wife - & he you know always felt so. - and one of the last things he said to me - was "You are my wife and have always treated me as a wife should" - words that are written on my soul and are very dear to me. - My husband - the earthly part - lays in the cemetery here in Andover and it is sweet to feel that his soul is at rest in Jesus. - and also with trembling hope to feel, that in the hands of God I have been the means and at least a slight degree of bringing him in to the fold -. Oh! even amidst my sorrow I have had every thing to be thankful for. - my cup has all the way been full of blessings - unworthy indeed I am of so much love & so many mercies - My children are an infinite blessing and my little adopted one is one of the sweetest children I have ever known - she is almost perfect. When with her sweet little voice she says - "Mama dear is there any thing I can do for you" - or "If you wish any thing you speak [to?] me you know I love to do any thing I can for you" It some time brings the tears of gratitude into my eye - and I feel thankful she has learned so to love me. - You know that my husband has been dead but about two months [?] - but so far as his mind - his sympathy - and the power to advise & cooperate or aid in family matters you know he has been dead to his wife & children as his mind had become so inf[?]d - yet we loved him all the same and watched him even more tenderly - never until after he was taken to the Asylum with the exception of a few nights was he watched over by any one but Cousin Carry or myself - and then we [were?] where we could be spoken to any moment You know dear precious friend - what a warm loving heart I have - and yet that there are but few who have my confidence - You are one of "the few" while I have many many friends there are few who realy [really] know my heart. - When I came to Andover I was a stranger there was not a single person here I had ever met. - My health was very poor - I fell that I was so broken down from anxiety care & constant watching that I should never be what I had been - I felt that my days of usefulness were perhaps over, and that if I could take care of my children that I cared not to know any one - I did not even send to my Boston friend (with two exceptions) that I was here I feel sad - depressed - and lonely - I could not write - my time was spent in family cares & reading - Oh! I longed to lean my aching head & heart on so sympathizing loving bosom - & my prayer would be to Jesus that I might lean all - all on Him - and I felt thankful I had such a loving Saviour to rest on - one who had [?] with the sorrowing - & knew how to bind up the broken heart. - When I first came here I roomed in my own house but boarded oposite [opposite] as I could not have cooking done in my house, while I was making alterations. - she (Mrs Mather) had quite a family of boarders. - among them three Clergymen one a Mr. Allen (the brother of the Rev Mr. Allen of Philadelphia who assists in the church on Rittenhouse Sq.-) one a Mr. Blake - and the third a Mr. Ensworth. - It was a very pleasant family yet I took but little interest in any thing my health was so poor that I set up but very little save at my meals and then a great deal of the time in pain - altho' my friend did not know how miserable I was. - For I have always tried to conceal my feeling both of pain & sadness from most around me - ..- I therefore seemed very cheerful at the table - altho' at that time I feared I should live but a few months - Yet there was one there who's keen sympathy - and warm heart - (having heard of the great care - & sorrow which had been [wighing?] [weighing] me down for so many long months) - felt deeply for me and his whole heart was moved towards me - and the little fatherless ones that were centered in me. - he knew I was a stranger and all - all alone - we sat side by side at table about six weeks - and became better acquainted with each other than under other circumstances we should in many months. - We found our sympathies were the same, our opinions & feelings on most subjects were alike - and in truth we never tired of conversing together. - I supposing (having been told so) that he was engaged spoke as frankly, truly & unreservedly as to a married man. - But I will now tell you more of Mr. Ensworth - whose friendship was such a light to my dark path when I first came here - He is a native of the state of N.Y. - has been through collage [college] & studied law in Rochester - he practiced law six years - and then after having a very fine offer to go in as partner of [Senator?} Farrer & one of the Ed.

Text Any textual data included in the document Baltimore July 12 1838 To Mrs. Sarah Hale Much esteemed Madam I apologise, and regret intruding on your valuable time, but circumstances render it in a measure necessary In April last I sent a communication for the "Lady's Book," - a scrap of of poetry called - "Sunset among the Alps" which was written during severe illness. As my husband is a subscriber to the Lady's Book, and his partial eyes discovering merits in the poetry which perhaps it does not posess [possess], he wished to see it published therein, but it seems as if it were thought unworthy of a page, and so far from feeling sensations of anger or mortification that it has not appeared, I am grateful to your discriminating judgement for laying it aside - There is too much hackneyed sentiment and indifferent poetry crowding our Periodicals and papers already - I do not wish to increase it. Since ill health has been decaying my frame, writing has been one of my principal amusements - Shut out in the bloom of youth from the real any spirit has oftentimes exulted in its capability of enjoying the invisible ideal. Altho incapable of expressing the beautiful things of of that bright world my heart has been filled with them, and I fain would have written its poetry, but thought is sometimes too mighty for words. Owing to the precarious state of my health - not knowing at what hour I may be called hence - my husband is anxious to collect every little scrap - or the originals of every piece I have written - I had no Copy of the piece I sent, will you be kind enough therefore to return the manuscript - Directed to L. Dorsey Esqr. Once more Madam I apologize for troubling you and thank you for the many pure lessons I have learned from your gifted pen - As a daughter - as a wife - I have endeavoured to profit by them - and as one, who will in a few days be called to fulfil the solemn responsibilities of a Mother, her heart retains them with gratitude to its teacher - Very Respectfully yours Anna Hanson Dorsey Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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