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 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.

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 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.

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

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

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Text Any textual data included in the document Keene July, 27[th?] My dear Mother - I am well and happy at Keene for I have every thing to make me so - friends, relations, and above all my dear sisters. 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. Hale who thought her so unfeeling so haughty. We are friends intimate friends I may say, at least she tells me every thought, shows me [Corrinna?] Prentiss' letters, consults me about every thing and every lady visits with are all the best families in Keene and in [DE: ?] fine is a most engaging, kind and affectionate woman, lady I should have said for she is the most ladylike and accomplished of the ladies at Keene. 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. I saw Mr. & Mrs. Edes last week - love to you - [Samuel?] [DE:?] sick -Mr. [?] says you must come to Newport when the estate is sold - 19th of Oct. I think when the license will be obtained. I can't tell you of half the entertaining people with whom I have made acquaintence [acquaintance] or rather renewed for it seems they knew me when a boy? Your affectionate Son D.E.

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Annapolis 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.

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

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Annapolis July 1st 1835 My dear Mother I arrived here yesterday from Beaufort having performed the whole journey on bourd [board] steamboats. One can go now from Charleston to Baltimore (600 miles) in four days for $22.50 I found two letters from you at the Post Office here much longer and more pleasant than I deserved. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Text Any textual data included in the document West Point Jan. 8. 1829 My dear Mother - I delayed writing [DE: during] till after the examination in order that I might give you some account of it and also of my station in my class. We have had a pretty severe and thorough examination as our class was very large. My sensations were not of the most agreeable kind when our section was marched into the examination hall where our fate was to be decided whether we should receive our warrants as cadets [DE: of] or be dismissed from the institution We were required to demonstrate on the black board the rules in Algebra and theroems [theorems] in Geometry [DE: besides;] and to answer innumerable questions. It required us little courage [DE: and] to go before the Academic Staff (who were mostly officers in the Army and therefore dressed in full uniform) to be examined. I was embarrassed a little at first but soon became more composed. There was nothing which served to render me calmer than the consciousness that in order to do well I must be perfectly composed. I believe that I [DE: did] succeded [succeeded] pretty well - did not miss any question in Algebra or Geometry; in French I did not write my sentence exactly right, one word I believe being wrong. My standing in Math. is fourteenth in French about the same. This is pretty good considering the size of the class yet I suppose you wold [would] wish it better. However there is time between this and the June examination to rise. I have on the whole [DE: g] obtained the standing I expected and I am happy. Indeed I do not think I can be more re One good proof of it is that I am not [DE: /] in the least home-sick I think of home it is true and of my good mother and little William, but not with the same feelings I had when [as?] a farmer among the rocks of N.H. You say that you have not resolved whether to get a midshipman's warrant for Horatio or to make him a Lawyer. There are two or three objections against his being a midshipman. One is that they do not get an education another that personal health and strength is required more than anything else. However If Horatio wishes to go to sea permit him rather than oppose his inclination I have written to him but have as yet received no answer. Give my love to him and William. Also remember me to my sisters. Your affec. Son D.E. Hale P.S. I have been vaccinated.

That it is partly owing to the multiplicity of my occupations but chiefly to my averseness to writing. I have every thing now to occupy myself with Drills, two or three different ones daily besides parades. The [DE: M] Artillery drills are very fine - we have a large battery and we keep up a continued roar of cannon at drill-time. I received your present with great pleasure as books are so scarce here; but I have read your letter with much more. Your remarks I have treasured them [up?] and in these long solitary nights when I am walking my part as sentinel I continually think of them. I am sorry to find that you are in such low health and spirits I think a journey to the Springs would do you good. You must remember that your health and comfort is much dearer to them than the greatest luxuries you could offer them even that of a good education perhaps I may be selfish and presuming in offering these remarks but I have been reading "Elizabeth Latimer" and you must forgive me if the thoughts which her fate give rise to have [DE: hurried] hurried me into my remarks unbefitting me I have heard what good your journey to Newburyport did you and this through the fine scenery of N. York ought certainly to relax your mind and restore its [tone?]. I study all the spare time I have and recite with a small section (all of whom have had letters to Superintendant [Superintendent] from their parents who are acquainted with him, to Swift a cadet who stands first in his class. I am indebted wholly to your name for the chance I have of reciting. I am in the first section about the middle of it - I shall study hard and get to the head if I can. In answer to your former letter concerning our board whether I eat much meat I can say our chief food is wheat, rice [etc.] and I do not eat so much meat as I did while in Boston. - I have not been inoculated nor can I be till I get in barracks (when we shall be released from almost all duty except study) as [DE: I] it will unfit me for duty for some days. I hope you will excuse my bad writing as I write this letter in the night. Remember me to my brothers and sisters and my friends in N. and B. Your affectionate Son David E.

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 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.

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.

I would subscribe for several but Colonel Thayer will not allow the Cadets to take more than one at a time. I am undetermined what one to take but I think I should like the the Museum. Pray write what one you think best. You wrote something concerning jeaalousy [jealousy] and rivalry among classmates.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

First, I had congestion of the somach [stomach?]. Then a pain in my face - and now the influenza. I should have been in the City of Penn ere this if I had been in my usual health. I did not see you at the great dinner at the Crystal Palace on the 27th Ult. It was brilliant. Your letter reached me in due time. I had three copies made from your explanatory letter, which I sent to Dr. Thorn, Professor Eaton, and Professor Gray. At the earliest moment I was able, I took the original letter and "The Bible Reader to Mrs. Packer. She bade me say to you that she would do all in her power for its success. She said she would recommend it to the Principal of The Packer Institute. I have seen the Booksellers, but none of the them seem willing to order the book until it is introduced into some of the schools. I told them that I would take half of them, but this would not do. They had rather wait until there was a certain [DE: call] sale for it. I feel disposed to do all in my power for its success. If this influenza should leave me I may be in Philadelphia this week; if it does not I cannot say when I will be there. Let me hear from you soon, and believe me, Yours ever Estelle. Mrs. Sarah J.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Washington 11 Jany 1851 My dear Madam - I hardly know what you must have thought of receiving no answer to your friendly letter of the 2d Novr, but when I tell you that it has only now accidentally fallen into my hands, you will at least believe that the neglect has not been intentional. A short time ago I returned from Habana - and as during my absence, the house occupied by this Legation had been changed - there may probably have been some confusion in the delivery of the letters - Although Mr. de Calderon does not recollect it, I think that amongst his extensive correspondence, he may have inadvertently opened this letter in my absence - and feeling it was not for him, put it aside. In short no one can explain the circumstances - but I found it amongst other papers opened - and no portrait within it - This is what most disturbs me - as it may I fear, put you to very serious inconvenience. My sister who was here at the time - and in all the confusion of moving - furnishing &c [etc.] says she is convinced she saw the letter - but of the portrait knows nothing. I shall have a thorough search made for it - but in the meantime I thought it better to write and explain to you the circumstance without any further delay. Now my dear Madam with regard to your kindness in considering me worthy of a place in your work, I truly think that I am not entitled to it - but should you continue of a different opinion, I must while expressing my sense of the honor you confer upon me, entreat you to say as little personally of me as possible. Before I wrote "Life in Mexico," I had published various things, of which no one ever knew me to be the Author - or perhaps ever will - and it was only at the urgent desire of Mr. Prescott, that my name in initials was put in that book. Since then I have been brought forward in reviews, and become more accustomed to see my own name in print - but I think the life of a living person can be but a mere sketch - and containing a few facts - at least I speak of a person as undistinguished as myself - As for family, my father was a descendant in the female line from the Earls of Buchan - his grandmother being Lady Frances Erskine daughter of the Earl married to the celebrated Col. Gardiner who fell at Preston- Pans [Prestonpans] - and is the Col. Gardiner of Walter Scott's Waverly. My Grandmother was their daughter - and I was called Fanny Erskine after Lady Frances, who was celebrated both for her beauty and for her correspondences with Dr. Doddridge and other celebrated divines of the day. The pictures of Colonel and Lady Frances Gardiner hung in our school-room when we were children in Scotland, and are amongst my very earliest recollections - when my father lost his fortune, we went to France, and lived there in retirement in an old house in Normandy for several years - when we all removed to America - For [DE: five] six very happy years I assisted in the labors of the school in Boston - and was then married to the Spanish Minister and went to reside in Washington - In the year 1840 he was named to Mexico - where we passed two years very delightfully - and when my husband was recalled during the Regency of Espartero, we returned to the U.S. staid there a few months - and then sailed for Europe - visited Paris, London, Edinburgh - near which I spent one melancholy day in revisiting our old country place, now in the hands of strangers - we then went to Madrid where we spent a winter - and Mr. de Calderon being again named Minister to the U.S., we returned here in the year 44 - And have resided in this Country ever since. During these last seven years the most remarkable event that has happened to me, is that after three years of very hard study, I have become a Catholic - with a thorough conviction of having [DE: arrived?] embraced the true Faith. You see my dear Madam that the outline of my life is not particularly interesting - with with regard to a portrait, there is one of me in oils in Baltimore, which is said to be very like. A daguerreotype was taken from it some time ago, but was a complete failure, - we can however have it tried again, and if it succeeds, I shall have the pleasure of sending it to you - Your work embraces such an extensive period, and must be so voluminous, that I do not suppose my delay in answering your letter can be of any real consequence - but the portrait you mention as having sent within the letter must be of real importance - and I [am?] really distressed about its disappearance. I have written very hurriedly, that I might not miss this day's Post - and shall only add that I am dear Madam truly yrs Fanny Calderon de la Barca I re-open my letter to say that to my great joy, I have found the portrait! - and enclose it.

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Washington Ap 28, 1854. Dear Madam: Your note of yesterday's date was duly received. I shall be very happy to recive [receive] any information you may have to impart, on the subject of the superiority of female teachers and female teaching. - I have myself no doubt of the great superiority of women over men in conducting early education, - especially in educating the heart in good feelings and the mind in good principles. The natural kindness, patience, as well as the superior acquaintance of woman with the infant mind, and the [farer?] character of her sympathy with the youthful and sensitive hearts, qualify her [DE?: better] for the duty of teaching, and not less for the development of the moral, than of the intellectual qualities: I am glad that you have called the attention of congress to this subject; for although, owing to the peculiar constitution of the Committee of Public Lands in both houses, it is not likely that favorable action will be had at the present Session, there is reason to believe that the public have viewed the proposition with more than usual favor; - and I need not say, if the public once adopt it, the politicians will soon discover its merits. I have the honor to be very respectfully your ob st James Cooper Mrs. S. J.

While I would gladly aid in endowing Normal Schools for girls in every state, & would confidently anticipate the most beneficent and far reaching results from their establishment I fear that nothing can be done to that end by the present Congress. This is the short session. It expires on the 4th of March by limitation and it has before an amount of business that few can conceive. If however, I can do anything to promote so excellent an object I will not willingly permit the opportunity to escape.

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.

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

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

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

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Princeton Jan 10/66 My dear friend, I am truly obliged to you for sending me the "Lady's Book", it is a most acceptable and valuable New Year's gift. 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. I have been so completely occupied with company and in other ways, of late, that I have only [?] a cursory glance at the "Philadelphia Home Weekly" Laulie was sadly disappointed at not seeing her beloved Minnie again. 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. [DE: persons]. Richard Hunter is [?] this winter Though many new members have joined the Circle, there is no one to make [?] his place. I write in haste this morning as we are expecting company to dine, and have friends staying with us. Please give love to all the dear ones of your household and best wishes for their health and happiness. Every truly and faithfully Yours, Louisa C.

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

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