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

She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource.

But I am afraid if it came to the practical part, & my daughter were downright unhappy & abused I shd [should] not have the courage or goodness, of the poetess, & maybe, she wouldn't either. It is best, to have a high ideal though. I need not say that I thank you most sincerely for your kind interest in my religious welfare. Shall we not be contented to let each other believe as seems to each, right? Whatever may be my feeling in regard to your belief, I consider It's a matter between yourself and your Creator, & recognize above all, the Protestant principle of the right of private judgment. Try to do so, with regard to me. [DE: ?] Do you not think that in every truly religious mind, the desire for truth will in time work the intellect clear? [DE: ?] So let us not have the odium theologicum - the most trying of all things between us. Farewell - let me know if this paper will do for you - yrs truly CAH - Mrs. S. J. Hale. Care of Louis A.

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

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

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

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.

Thank you for your kind and encouraging letter, you almost make me think myself both witty & wise. If the readers of your book will think so, if by my with I can make them "feel in their pockets" I shall be very glad.

Mrs Hale of Keene has been with me the last week. She is much changed I think in looks as well as mind by her last illness. I should not be surprised if she did not live a year.

Text Any textual data included in the document Cambridge Mar [?]1st /66 Dear Mrs Hale, I was glad to hear from you, & show it by answering you at once, & your questions too, which is more than you have done by me, for I asked you to let me know, if my article about the 'deductive mind of woman" would be useful to you any way, for I meant it as a sort of "remunerative effusion" for the Lady's book, & such a work as I made of remembering & finding out what Buckle said! and all to be wise enough for the Editor's table - and after all, you havent read it, I guess, or don't [ED: the following text appears along the side of the page] Mr. Lesley of your city has been giving us Lowell lectures, what do you think of the development theory, or dont you care. [ED: the following text appears upside down at the top of the page] To come back to the beginning - Please do burn all my letters, please do & tell me you have. Affectionately CAH. like it, & may be dont care a [?] whether her mind is inductive or &other way. Now to your questions. Yes, Mr. Childs has behaved like a prince of the blood, sending me my full demand with no word on that point & adding the Home weekly without charge. Now for your second question - but why do you ask it? Did you not write? and didn't I? And what do you suppose we are likely to think of the matter? I agree with you that there must have been at least two better worth a thousand dollars, yours &mine. But "it takes wit to see wit" you know, & so we are overlooked by the committee. Never mind; I did not expect it at all, & by the rule of the old woman & her lottery ticket, ought therefore to have had it. Now for your second question. I do like the Home Weekly. What with your sense & mine, it is a good paper. There's modesty for you, but you see I keep behind your skirts. As to being 'a paper for the nation' thats another matter. The nation wont all take one paper, or they would all take the Lady's book of course - but it really seems to me a very fair paper, & he has secured a variety of agreeable talent. What do you think? Now it is your turn, & I wont tell. Now, what a much you must like me, - you have done me so much good. They say we do like those we benefit, & you have been so really kind in finding employment for my pen - but you do love to do kindnesses, and so do I - it is a great luxury to ourselves, but not the less pleasant is it to feel that we are appreciated, & I assure you I do entirely appreciate the kind heart & the word in season, which has been so useful to me. I am glad to hear all about Horatio, & hope I may see him here in Cambridge, but how shall I know the bearded man, & how will he know the old lady? I never knew William but I can appreciate fully your anxiety & your present happiness. I was never separated from my children but by death. But I can conceive of nothing in life more wearing & harassing that such a separation as yours has been from William. I dont know whether you knew Dr Sparks & Dr Beck, both of whom have died, within the last week. Mr Sparks was here the Tuesday evening before his death, & spoke with much interest about Mr Hale, saying that he should go immediately to Somerville to see him, & adding some anecdotes of him. I thought it would be a sad pleasure to George to know it, but I fear Mr. Hale's own mind is in too fragmentary a condition to receive ideas with any connection. Oh how sad to live on, after the sweetness of life has gone! Dr. Beck was a noble spirit, full of liberality & animated patriotic interests - Old as he was 68 he enlisted with the Company which was ordered to defend the fort at Provincetown, & would have willingly served as a private if he had been allowed to do so. Not many men worth a half million would be ready to sweep the barracks & lie on bare boards, from sheer enthusiasm in the cause. - but he was ready with purse & [scrip?], with soul & arm at all times. The poor will miss him greatly here, - though his daughter inherits his liberality fortunately. Who is Nellie Hale who writes in the last Lady's book? any kin of yours? I hope your Benjamin & Joseph too will arrive safely in time in the land of Penn, & that all your sorrow will be swallowed up in joy. Yes, let us hope now for peace, but not for that kind which is no peace. a peace founded on the principles of eternal justice is all that will endure. Your Lady's book is excellent, & deserves its popularity, what more can be said? Mrs. Sarah J. Hale. Care of L. A. Godey Esqr Philadelphia.

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

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

As I said before, it is a necessary of life, for how are we to know how to think & dress without your pretty pictures & stories? - 3d I enclose to you a note to these people & am & shall be exceedingly obliged to Mr Godey for any thing he can do towards ascertaining whether I get any thing for my Stories twain. I am aware, by the terms of the advertisement that if I have had no prize awarded my stories are not to be returned. Still as they may also think them, entirely worthless I shall be glad that they should come back to their natural parent.- In such a case if Mr Godey can get them & send them I shall of Course refund his expenses, [DE: the] & hold myself ready to do my politest thing for him in return - The titles are, "Rushtow," - and "The belles of the Revolution." I think you told me you were a daughter of the Episcopal church - I can, in that case congratulate you on the accession of a new disciple, who will doubtless in turn come to be a Teacher & Bishop among you - [?] Docr Huntington, viz: - he has applied to Bishp Eastburn for orders - That is the most we talk about in Cambridge: - As every body supposed, Prof. Felton [DE: would] is to be President.

On half starves for want of a healthy appreciation of one's neighbors affairs - - Indeed every body professes to be occupied with their own. Which means, freely translated "I can go into Boston when I want amusement, which is easier than to be meddling with my neighbors kitchen" Yes, poor Mrs. Comegys! but - do you know, I do not think she can Succeed here by any possibility - I only hope she will not get involved. Thank you for inquiring for my children. Frank is in Horace Grays office learning to be lawyer, & John is junior.

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

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

Please take your own advice to me, & "dont work too hard" - for my part I have worked so many years, I should really be sorry to stop, & shouldnt know what to do with rest. You ask me where Miss Cunningham is? I only know that she is in S. C. - Miss Tracy the Secretary is at Mount Vernon & resides with the Herberts, who have charge of the place. There is to be a meeting of [ED: next portion of text is written along the lefthand edge of the page] One thing I must ask you to do, if you do not already do it, that is, to put my letters into the fire. I have long ceased to keep letters except of business - Always most truly yours, CAH. the Grand Council' the 22nd of Feb in Washington - perhaps she may be there although it is not likely. I hope thust she may see the fruit of her self denying labors & live to see Mt Vernon a garden of beauty. Wont people have got used to giving, so that at the end of the war, they will think it a mere trifle to take good care of Mt Vernon? I hope so. - I went last week to the M'Lean Asylum to call on Mrs Hale. But at 4 ock PM. she had retired for the night. The matron said she rose about 10, & went to bed at 3. Docr Tyler said she was rapidly failing in every way - & I confess it was with a feeling of relief that I drove away without seeing the wreck of so much youth, beauty, sense, animation & womanly grace, as has fallen under these deep waters. It is so sad to think of it. With regard to your question about the compensation for "letters on domestic economies" - I hardly know what to say. If you are satisfied with such sort of letters as the last, (which are written currente calamo & not even revised) I can write you one once in two months for the year to come without exhausting my quiver. I suppose they would not be worth more than half the same amount of matter in the shape of a story, which requires care in the arrangement, etc. - I have plenty of things to say, I assure you, if your readers want to hear me. If you decide to employ me in this way, I should be glad to know it at once that I may write & arrange my essays so as not to repeat myself, at least, and to be most useful to you. The type in which they will be printed allows the compression of one third more matter in a page of the Mage [Magazine?] than the type in the body of the book. - Make me an offer for six letters, & I will see what I can do at the price you offer, The Lady's book comes regularly, if it didn't, I dont know what my family would do.

I wrote a notice of Miss Dodje's book (Gail H.) which I wish now I had preserved, wherein I spoke of her book as I thought it merited.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

When it came to hand I was just dressed to attend the centennial lecture at the "first church in this town, I went with you in my mind & I could but regret that you were not present to enjoy the intellectual treat that day offered us. When anything striking way presented to us in the early history of this "first church planted in America" illustrative of the simplicity of manners, firmness of faith & ardour of zeal of our worthy ancestors, I could but think how such a mind as yours would catch at the traits of character drawn forth by the peculiar circumstances. I presume that Mr Upham's lecture will be printed & that you will read it, but, if it strikes you favourably as an interesting production, it is impossible that you should feel that enthusiasm that you would have done to have been on the very spot were the little flock two hundred years before me [finance?] their church 2 offered up their prayers & praises. A short biography of several of the first Pastors was given in a concise, clear & interesting manner. The two of most interest to me were Roger Williams & Hugh Peters, Should have named the latter, first, as he was prior to Williams. Indeed Mrs Hale I wish not for fictitious tales of magnanimity, heroism or suffering for virtue's sake to awaken my sympathies when I can read or hear passages in the lives of such men - You will perceive my admiration of Mr Upham's eloquence & excuse (I hope) my prosing to you about it - It will be impossible my dear Madam that I can visit you in Boston as my recent long vacation must prevent my leaving town again soon, but you will be pleased to accept my thanks for your polite invitation. And now, will you not come to Salem unceremoniously! My sister & self will receive you most cordially - ss to time I hardly dare name that; as I know not what may be your engagements, yet this or next week week we shall depend upon seeing you. Perhaps it might be pleasant to you to spend a Sunday here - Would that I could promise you more of my attention than merely between school hours, but I will do my best. You must visit our museum & that will take one long half day, & if the weather is favourable you must see all our town & its delightful environs - I wish you were here tomorrow, for Wednesday afternoon is my holiday. In addition to my school of thirty two young Ladies I am myself a Spanish scholar, my teacher comes down from Boston & spends every Saturday & my class recite in the afternoon of that day - I will postpone naming my intelligence of Mrs Smith, as also my apology for not calling on you when I returned from [?], until I see you & hoping that that may be quite soon permit me to day I am your friend Ruth P. Morse - P.S. I find on looking over my note that in my haste in writing, I have left out half my words.

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Aug. 3rd 1836 My dear Son - Your letter of the 30th June, reached me this morning, and gave me great pleasure. I am very glad you left Fort Drane - we see daily the accounts of the progress of the war, with the Seminoles, Creeks & other savages. - I do wish this state of things could be ended. The Creek war, it is thought is brought to a close - but the Cherokees are not yet pacified. - Gen. Scott is recalled; - perhaps you know this - and will be tried by a Court Martial for the failure of the war in Florida. Of course, we do not know how the affair will appear when investigated. He probably had appalling difficulties to struggle with, and if he can be honorably acquitted, I hope he will be; for it is hard enough to live a soldier's life, without being disgraced for failures which could not be prevented. I rec'd your letter of June 5th and wrote a long letter in answer, which, if it reached you, may trouble you a little - But bear in mind, my dear Son that in [ED: the following text appears along the left side of the page] - P.S. I must leave the two ends for Horatio - In the mean time let me beg of you to write often. I am very uneasy when I do not hear from you, at least once a fortnight. I will not allow any of [your?] [ED: the following text appears upside down along at the top of the page] letters to be published. S.J.H. all my warnings or advice I have only your best good in view - I do so want to have you live as you will wish you had done when you are called to leave the world - I want to have you [?] - and the peculiar temptations to which I know your profession will subject you.

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston JFeb 4th 18[31?] My dear son I have been waiting very anxiously for a letter from you - Why have you not written? Is it because you have not obtained the station in your class for which you hoped? Never be fearful of communicating to me your [?] any more than your successes- the former will sometimes occur, even when we use the greatest exertion- and if you do what you can I shall be satisfied. But you must write. I am always very anxious when the time has elapsed for your letters to arrive. I have sent you papers and pamphlets frequently - and mail with this letter & paper and [Willis'?] Magazine. Horatio is in good health and spirits - studying and working in the printing office and your sisters, and [Willey?] are in fine health at Keene. I shall go there in April and they will all return with me and spend a few weeks in Boston. If you have read the magazine I trust you find it much improved. I am going on with tolerable success and hope I shall have the privilege of visiting you at West Point in June, and that we shall then make a tour to the spring and Glens Falls. Mr. Kendrick Metcalf has been in Boston not long since. He came here to be married to Miss [Trask?], who used to board at [Dort.?] Megregory's. Mr. Metcalf is studying Divinity - will be an Episcopalian clergyman - He now resides in Dochester and is succeeding finely. He named you with much affection There is nothing of much interest to you that I now recollect transpired here of late - except it be that Master Burke is performing at the Fremont. [Horatio?] does not want to attend the theatre - he prefers to expend his money on books and his leisure in studying the languages. Have you read the Water Witch? by Cooper - it is a poor affair. When a good opportunity offers I shall send you a few books. Now, my dear son, answer this letter soon, and tell me all your affairs in which you think I shall be [interested] If Mr. Poe is at West Point will you say to him that I rec'd a poem from him and shall publish it when it is in season - which will be next summer, to [accord?] with the scene described.

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston Nov. 14, 1829 I have delayed writing you, my Son, with the hope that an opportunity would present by which I should be enabled to transmit you some books along with my letter. I have now the prospect of sending them the last of this month, but I feared you would think my silence was caused by illness or some unpleasant circumstance and so I cannot refrain till that time from giving you the pleasure of knowing I am very well. Your brothers and sisters are also in fine health. I heard from Newport yesterday. Martha Ann & Sarah have had the measles, but they have recovered and are happy as birds. M. gets on well in her Latin. Horatio is contented though he will think you are vastly favored in having such a snug seat at West Point with [the?] hope of gaining the honor or the first Institution in our country. Indeed, my dear son, I think you have a '[price?] put into your hands,' and I hope you are improving it. But why do you not write me oftener? You know how anxious I am to learn all that regards your course of studies and your progress. Do you attend at all to your Greek and Latin? I know the former is not much to your liking, and now you can omit it with impunity I fear you will. But recollect that your mother wishes you to be a scholar as well as a scientific and military student. I know that you cannot excel in all studies, that art is long and life short; but there will be intervals in which you may, by judicious improvement, obtain a knowledge of those languages that are, as it were, the interpreters of thoughts and sentiments that even now influence, buy sympathy, the wise and learned of every nation. Latin and Greek are study in every seminary throughout the world that professes to educate scholars- I wish those languages, or Latin at least, was made a necessary part of the studies at West Point - because I think the youn [young] men would then have the foundation of the acquisition of other languages permanently and systematically established. And in America gentlemen should be [DE: more] skilled in the modern languages – they ought to speak the French & Spanish, if no more, fluently. They may be sent on foreign missions - or they may wish to travel in Europe and if they did not they will meet with the men in are our own country who use those languages - and there is all South America where they would be necessary. But I need say no more, for I am sure you will not think your education complete while you can only speak one among all the dialects of the nation. I urge you more on this point because I know you are naturally more inclined to love mathematical studies and the pomp & circumstance of your military shows, than [?] and philological researches. Another branch of your duty which you do not yet wish, and chiefly because you will not make [ED: hole in page] familiar in writing to me. You will, I hope, for the future be more [?]. Tell me what your studies now are - when and how long are your vacations - who are your particular friends - describe their characteristics, their persons and dispositions as far as you understand them- and the good qualities for which you esteem them - and tell me have you been [vaccinated?]? There, I have given you subjects for half a dozen letters. [?], I must not forget to tell you of little Willy - dear creature, he is well and so happy!

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

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

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

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

Perhaps, in French would satisfy her. I believe she is making good proficiency in her studies. - I expect Horatio this week he will spend a few days in Boston, and then accompany me to Keene. Willey is merry as ever, and sends a great deal of love to brother David. Apropos - have you rec'd the package I forwarded by Mr Lothrop? I hope so because I fear Mr [?] will want his [?]. - The next letter you write me will, I trust be longer than the last, and let it be descriptive of your studies, pleasures - duties (the last should be first) [etc.?] By the way, you will observe that I have corrected a few words in my poem - I shall give it corrected in the next Mag. Now, my dear Son, I hope your next letter will show you to be very happy, looking on the bright side of the world, and cherishing that enthusiasm which makes the pleasures of life. What signifies it that we cannot obtain all for which we strive? The exertion that aims at eminence in virtue and usefulness is of itself, felicity. And every day that we pass happily is an item in our list of blessings. Never think of waiting to be happy till you have reached this or [ED: page torn] station or age, or [DE: ?] privilige [privililege], that [?]ful and contented and useful now - - Your studies are your business - if you perform your task well, you are entitled to enjoy yourself; and you may look forward with confidence that life has blessings in store for you. None need be wretched. Some are unfortunate, to be sure - but there are no troubles, but those of our own making, which need be considered [?].

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.

Willey goes with me, and I have about concluded to leave him there during the winter. He wants to live with his sisters so very much - and Miss [Fiske?] will take him into her family.

O, he is very happy to be with me - you know he has had to be away almost the whole time since your father's death.

I have published a little volume of poems for children and am daily engaged in the wearisome task of writing, writing - and you think it is a task, - don't you? - What will you write in your book?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Nov. 11, 1832 - My dear Son - I returned from my jaunt into N.H. last Tuesday, and found your letter awaiting me. I went to Newport - the place & people seem much as usual to me - but you would find changes. Mr. & Mrs. Edes are the same, however, & desired much love to you. Henry Baldwin & William [Forsaith?] are both in Boston, working at the printer's trade. Do you wish you were with them? Your Aunt & family in Keene are well, and said much of you. I hope next year you will be able to visit all your friends. I brought Martha Ann with me to spend the winter, Josepha will pass the time at Concord, with her Aunt Barton. Horatio & Willey are well & happy - and my own health is tolerable. With regard to your choice - I highly approve it - and will do all I can to assist you in obtaining the situation. You must yourself to the utmost. There is an examination in Jan. I think, see if you cannot be better prepared to meet it then you have ever been the half-yearly examinations. And try to obtain the favor of Colonel Thayer & all your instructors. [Their?] good word will do much. I will write to Woodbury, the Secy. of War - he is my friend, and if you have good recommendations from West Point, I trust we shall be successful. I am, just now, quite disposed to be melancholy. I believe I named to you Dr. Spurzheim - the great phrenologist from Germany. He died last night! The event has cast a gloom over our city, and it should - for he was a man devoted to doing good - and had he lived to make, as he intended the tour of our country, & lectured before the people, I feel confident his influence on education and social improvement would have been of inestimable value. - He is to be buried next Saturday - and everything which can testify the respect our citizens felt for his character & labors here will be done. Alas - how poor is human life - our hopes & wishes & schemes, how soon they end. And such a man must die in the full strength of his intellect - & in the full pursuit of all that is pure & beneficial to the human race - and others, who are burdens or pests to society live on. But the good ar [are?] blessed in life or death, and that thought should console us for Dr. Spurzheim. He was good as well as great. The children all send love. Hastily but affectionately, Sarah J.

Your friend Mudge told Sarah B[?] that he had heard you were appointed to the 1st Reg. & stationed at Norfolk, Virginia. He was not in the same Reg. but expected to be stationed at the same place - there were eleven companies there, he said. How should you like this station? In some things it is very objectionable; and I almost wish you had a good appointment at some of the Western posts. But perhaps you will think otherwise.

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

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

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

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

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).

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

By the way, you had better only take sufficient to pay your travelling expenses, if you have more due, you can draw, can you not? - It will be better, because there is a discount of from five to fourteen per cent on Southern bills. - I wish you had resigned a year ago - but I thought that the last campaign would settle the war, and that there would be the best opportunity for you to leave. I have never been willing to admit the idea that you were to remain your life-time in the army. And your last letter makes me feel every moment an age till I hear that you are free.

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

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

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

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