‎ELAINE HANNEY‎

‎1920 ARCHIVE OF NINE 9 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPH LETTERS DETAILING THE BUDDING RELATIONSHIP AND CRUSH OF ONE SEMINARY GIRL FOR ANOTHER‎

‎Very Good. 1920. On offer is a wonderful archive of nine 9 original 1920 manuscript handwritten letters; eight envelopes as one includes two letters ranging in length from two pages to 12 pages by Elaine Hanney an underclasswoman at Gould Hall Northfield Seminary for Girls Northfield Massachusetts to her mother in Ballston Spa New York. Elaine is a lively letter writer and covers many aspects of life at the school and of particular interest to collectors and historians of women's and gender studies will be her "crush" on fellow student Dorothea Witt. Here are some snippets: Feb. 15--They have about 20 pairs of snowshoes in the gym for our use and a party was organized by Miss Lash my gym teacher and Kirkie. There were 15 of us and we went all the way to Garnet Rock and back. It was terribly steep and we slipped and slid but had piles of fun. As you know i never was on snowshoes before in my life but I was soon scampering along in the liveliest fashion. . Well I've made a nut of myself. If you could see me you would you would probably disown me. I was amusing myself before dinner by fussing with my hair and I took the hair from my hair receiver stuffed it under at the sides and made some regular "cootie garages" with a string of hair drawn straight back to hold them down. Then I pulled the front way down. and put a hair net over the whole thing and went down to dinner--Miss Trowbridge there and everything. The kitchen girls yelled at me everybody yelled at me several people complimented Mary was delighted and on the whole I don't like it. Feb. 22--I am going to a Student Volunteer meeting this evening with Dorothea Witt otherwise known as "Sonny". . I got Mary Lincoln to wash my hair and she certainly did a thorough job. It's so dry and fine I can't do a thing with it. Last night I had it crimped and a hair net over it and you should have seen Witt rave! She hates my hair done up and she simply clawed at that net. But I like her. She says what she thinks and is a fine sport. She comes from Panama and can't go home until she graduates from here! I'll send you a picture of her sometime when I get it. Mar. 15--I've ordered my railroad ticket for the 7:21 train Friday morning. Hattie has promised to meet me & I just have to let her know the time. Now can you please tell me whether I can get home Friday night or not & how. Talk about corresponding early. I think it's high time. Gosh me! Vacation begins next Friday! Only four days. Are the roads terrible Goodness! I'll be glad to be home and sleep. I believe I am tired. . Witt is a dandy girl and I feel awfully sorry for her. Of course her home is in Panama and she can't go home until she graduates. Of course she works hard in school not only on lessons but outdoors in outdoor sports. She worked here at the hotel all Christmas vacation then came back to school again. Now she has agreed to work again all Easter vacation and she's tired out. She agreed to do it before she realized how tired she is and she won't change her mind because one girl accused her of being fickle-minded and she wants to prove she's not. She's absolutely worn out and yet she won't get any rest at vacation and she'll come back and study until June and next Summer she's going to be a farmerette. Mar. 17--Monday I went tinpanning in the afternoon. It's lots of fun. Did you ever do it Just take a tin tray sit down on it and slide down hill frontwards backwards or sideways. We slid down chapel hill this side of Stone Hill and down the hill back of the gym. That one is awfully steep. . In the evening we dressed up and went to Stone Hall to hear a singer and Mrs. Daley tell about the presidential campaign. I was dead tired but wanted to go so put on my waist and Mary's skirt wore my arctics over Mary's oxfords and my holey stockings my high shoes and only whole stockings were wet twisted up my hair and jazzed along. Mary didn't go and Cappy and Witt stayed home and turned sommersaults. Mrs. Daley's talk was awfully good. Mar. 21--Travel plans home have apparently been delayed and Elaine is staying at the hotel in which Witt works. Friday afternoon Witt came down almost as soon as we had had dinner. We talked for a while and then went over to Gould Hall for my other suitcasefull of things. . 45 girls are still stranded at the school. Well the first thing on deck was to invite some Hermanites boy students from the neighboring Mt. Herman school over Saturday night about 50 for us to entertain. . Well it turned out to be just like our young peoples' parties. We played a game with little green bows. Every one had one to begin with and if you could make anyone say "Yes" or "No" you could demand his or her bow. I ended up with eight. Apr. 25--Mary has come up but has gone for a walk with Ruth so I shall write until Witt finishes her tins and then perhaps go for a walk with her. What do you suppose Mary told me today That she was jealous of Witt! Now what am I to do I confess I go around with Witt more than with her but she goes with Ruth although she says she doesn't like her and Witt and I are friends and Cappy goes with us too. We would be glad to have Mary go with us but she won't because she doesn't like Witt. . Was so glad to hear that you thought we might arrange to have Witt in the summer. . And August will be the time to have her because Cappy and her friend at East are going to be here the first part of the summer but not the last and she will be here alone you know what I mean. May 2--I am writing this from Witt's room where I am spending the week-end. . Mary is staying alone and said she expected to have a lovely time but tonight in the kitchen she fell on my neck and begged me to come back. I guess she'll have to stand it until tomorrow though. I am enjoying myself immensely. Last night we kept quiet until Miss Goulding retired we went to the bathroom to make sure she was safe and then we each ate a popcorn ball and talked a while. It was eleven before I went to sleep. . I admire Witt more every day but don't worry about my getting a "crush" on her. We are chums and a "crush" is noncompatible with that term. But her ideas and ideals and determination are wonderful and she's better than a sermon every time. . How I wish I were like her! . Mary had Mrs. La Bella to supper Monday night and then went to the lecture with her and Ruth and I went with Witt. I returned to my own bed and spouse after the lecture. May 7--If Miss Moody will let me I am going to spend this week-end with Witt too. She seems to want me and Mary says she doesn't mind. May 9--I am with Witt again for the week-end and it is nearly lights out Sunday night. . Describing a trip to the Reservoir with several other girls We took sandwiches -- cheese apple butter and honey -- from Gould a whole one apiece also some chocolate cake. The others got some doughnuts from Woodbury's. I ate six slices of bread three sandwiches and two crullers and had just enough then. We leaned over and drank out of the reservoir and had our pictures taken and then went up into the woods for arbitus. . P.S. Can you please order a hair brush from Charles-William's just like mine for Witt Hughes Ideal. .98 you know. Enclosed find one dollar.

‎ELDER JAMES MILTON OLSEN‎

‎1918 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF HIS MORMON MISSION WORK IN NEW ZEALAND AND THE TRIP HOME‎

‎THAMES NEW ZEALAND SALT LAKE CITY UTAH. Good. 1918. On offer is the super original 1918 manuscript diary and travel journal handwritten by a young 25 year old Mormon missionary named James Milton Olsen b. January 20 1893 who after three years of Christian outreach and preaching the Gospel of Mormon in Thames New Zealand to the Maoris the indigenous people of New Zealand returns to America. The son of Utah rancher George Theodore Olsen and Catherine Maria Edwards Olsen. He married Hazel Acord on March 5th 1919. Beginning April 15 1918 James' is at the end of his 3 year mission and heading back to the United States. The 43 page narrative begins with Elder Olsen in New Zealand spending his last weeks attending meetings saying goodbyes and packing for his trip home. He spends much of the time with the President of the New Zealand Missions Elder James N. Lambert. BIO NOTES: President Lambert: "Elder James N. Lambert former president of the New Zealand mission returned July 3rd 1920 after nearly 51 months of missionary work in that far-off land. While there he published in the Maori language the second edition of the Book of Mormon 3000 copies." 1920 Improvement Era official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Goodbyes said Elder Olsen boards a train for Auckland spends a few days there and then boards the SS Niagara for the trip home. Here are some snippets: "On board ship were the Premiers of Australia The Rt. Hon. Mr. Massy of New Zealand and to this Mr. Massy I had a letter of introduction. Then there were other big men such as Sir Joseph Ward one Prime Minister of N.Z. the Sect of the Navy of Australia and several French Generals. So we had a Whakahihi crowd." Sir Walter Massy-Greene major politician and entrepreneur; Joseph Ward 17th Prime Minister of New Zealand; George L. Macandie Australia's Secretary of the Navy. "April 17th 1918�.At 12 o'clock we ate dinner with Billman's and at 1 o'clock I had my photo taken with Howard Johnson. At 2 o'clock we called in at Parne Thorn's pawn shop and had a good conversation then caught the train and rode 12 miles to Omahu. Arriving there we walked 2 or 3 miles and met all the natives and latter all the elders rode in from Kerikeri. In the evening they gave us a lovely dinner and at 7 o'clock began the meeting. Elder Russon and I were called on to speak to give our farewell talk. Elder Mow interpreted for me. After we had finished the Maoris talked to us telling their sincere love for the Elder's and biding us goodbye. We went to bed late." "April 18th 1918. It was raining all day so we remained at Omahu until 4 o'clock. We played the phonograph read the Improvement Era and jumped until we were very stiff and sore. In the afternoon train time I had to bid them all goodbye. I rubbed noses with nearly 15 natives and I bid good luck to Elders Mow and Moody. We were driven to the train in a two wheeled cart by a native�.I cleaned up and wrote up my diary preparing to meet Elder Wright who is supposed to arrive today by the 1 o'clock boat. His is taking my place. At one o'clock we walked to the boat and waiting until 1:30 for it to arrive at the wharf. Elder Wright came. We all strolled back to Sister Johnston's home. I gave him possession of the bed which I had been sleeping in for two years also the wardrobe which I had been in possession of. In the afternoon we visited the chapel. He found it to be much smaller than the one in Auckland. In fact it used to be the mayor's barn." "April 20 1918. I slept with Howard Johnston didn't get up until 7:30. Washed and wrote diary. Elder Wright and I caught the 9:30 train and took two boys to Kerikeri where I baptized them. The water was very cold so early in the morning but managed and the boys fared all right. There were several elders so it was a nice service. After that I went around to all the natives and rubbed noses with them all biding them farewell. One old lady gave me a kit Clara Watene's mother. We bought several pictures of the last conference from Bro. Spencer of Auckland then caught the train and rode back to Thames�.In the evening Pres. Lambert came from Auckland. We were all happy to see him. He always brings a happy spirit. We ate dinner at Sister Johnston's. At 7:30 we held a good open air service. I did not assist in singing as my throat was too bad. I stood on the corner however. Elder's Mow Wright and the president talked�." "April 23rd 1918. I ate breakfast at Payne's then came home and destroyed all my letters with the exception of a very few. I also tied strings around all my books and prepared them for packing. In the afternoon Elder's Wright Stalling and I visited the hospital where I bid goodbye to Mrs. Rutallia whom I had been visiting for 2 years. The poor soul had lain there for over 14 years. From the hospital we went to the police station. Elder Moody was with us. I bid him goodbye also. He had been a very good companion and helpmate�." "April 24 1918. I ate breakfast at Royal's then came to the house and began packing up. If ever I had to plan it was then to get all my belongings in my suit cases and trunk then I had to give away many things. But finally everything was packed. I had one trunk weighing 200 lbs. 2 suitcases one hand bag and a roll of blankets�." He attends a social and then for the final time he meets many of his good friends and bids them goodbye and many of them give him gifts which he lists. Then he says "After the social it was with difficulty that I bid most of them goodbye." "April 25th 1918. Went to Monteque's Lemmee's and others bidding them goodbye then went to the station where several of the saints and friends were there to see me off. It was hard to say farewell as one never can tell when friends will meet again especially those of a foreign country. It was hardest of all to say goodbye to Bro. Payne as he had been my heartiest supporter. Elder Russon and I left at 9:30 Sister Payne Johnston and Wasene rode with us as far as Parekura then we bid them farewell. We rode on to Auckland getting there at 5 o'clock P.M. We had a cater take our things to headquarters costing us 2 shillings each. In the evening after a lovely supper we went in company with President and the Auckland Elders and the President's daughter Phyllis to a cottage meeting at Mrs. Trae Farland's. Four of us were called on to speak." "April 26th 1918. Went with the president and a number of elders to the American council's officer and obtained my permit to leave New Zealand. My companions Elder Gallacher and Pearson could not get theirs until later. After this I bought three towels costing me 5 S. then the president Elder Patrick and I tried to find the home of Sister Johnston a saint who does not know where to stay with us or join the reorganized church. We were unable to find her. Coming back to headquarters I wrote two letters one to Mr. Johnston of Thames and Toki Watene of Kopu. Then wrote up in my diary. In the afternoon President Lambert gave me two letters one to my father and one to Mr. Hardy a life insurance man recommending me to that business. After taking with the president Jack Monteque came to the mission home and he and I went downtown. We had a shave in Frank Monteque's shop�." "April 30th 1918. I packed my trunk and visited. I went to Mrs. Elizabeth Johnston's and while there I met two Elders of the Josephite Elders. They had been given our mission a very bad name. They are very prejudice against us. Their main subjects are blood atonement polygamy true succession to the President. They argued with me 4 hours. I held my own. In the afternoon I received letters and telegrams from the following�." He then lists many names "May 2nd 1918. He is sailing on the steamship "Niagara" We took our trunk and suit cases to the boat as we expected it to leave any moment. The custom officer examined a few of our things then we were able to take them on board. At noon I ate dinner at headquarters then at half-past 12 Elder Patrick and I visited the Hanby's. They treated us very kindly. They gave me several photos. In the afternoon I received my release a diploma which I had worked for for nearly 3 years. I was happy to get it��" He again bids everyone goodbye but the boat was running late so they bid more people goodbye including Miss Hanby who was at the gate. He says "She was the last girl I said goodbye to in New Zealand. She is certainly one of the best girls I ever met in my life." "We went back to the ship and finally went to bed. The next morning we were out in the mid ocean. The passengers were all lovely. On board ship were the Premiers of Australia The Rt. Hon. Mr. Massy of New Zealand and to this Mr. Massy I had a letter of introduction. Then there were other big men such as Sir Joseph Ward one Prime Minister of N.Z. the Sect of the Navy of Australia and several French Generals. So we had a Whakahihi crowd. Our cabin was no. 124 and 72' 2" square. In there was a fan electric lights 3 beds a dresser a wardrobe a wash basin and cloths racks." "May 4th 1918. Was not feeling too well so remained in bed a few hours. Missed two meals. I played a game of tennis with two ladies and wireless operator. He was a splendid friend taking us over the boat and informing us to every move and movement. Saturday evening we sang and held a dance. We were even asked to join several times but didn't have the nerve to try." Then to Sura and off for a little while and have lemonade in the hotel. "May 6th 1918. If you will remember 3 years ago I mentioned in my diary that we went to bed on Tuesday and got up on Thursday losing a day. Tonight it is making up that day. We go to bed Monday night and get up on Monday morning. Had hotcakes for breakfast also egg omelet. Began reading "The Light of Western Skies" by Zane Grey. We played deck quotes and other games. Met the Sec. to Mr. Ward one prime minister of New Zealand. We held a concert at night." "May 7th 1918. It was very warm. Several persons were curious over our being "Mormons." We conversed with several over religion. I had my laundry done up. We couldn't get fresh water as it had been mixed by mistake with the salt water�.The boat games were very interesting. There were many of the women who smoked. Some thought it strange that we wouldn't gamble�." "May 12th 1918. Hawaii We were in American waters at 8 o'clock. It was a happy day for us to see American flags flying all over. Our boat flew an American flag. The doctor came on board and examined all of us. There our passports were ____. Then at 2 o'clock we went ashore. I was one of the first off. We rented a motor car for 3 hours and rode over the island. It was one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. We went to what is known as the Ecquarium Aquarium where you see several kinds of fish. They are of every color known. All kinds' sizes and colors. We also rode to Diamond Point Mountain. We rode to Waikiki Beach where we saw surf riding. After riding we visited the "Mormon Church." We met the secretary his wife and three elders. They were not very sociable. We ate a big dinner down town�.At 5 o'clock we went back on the ship. There were hundreds of people to see us off. Many of the natives were selling flowers�.The boat pulled out of Honolulu at 5:30. We went to bed early. Two new Elders came on board returning home." BACKGROUND NOTES: One online source: "Most Maoris had been converted to Protestant and Roman Catholic Christianity by the 1850s; but because they believed they had been cheated in land deals by the whites whom they called pakehas the Maoris made war on the pakehas. These wars lasted from the late 1850s until the 1870s. When the wars ended the time seemed to be right to take the restored gospel to this outstanding part of the Polynesian race. When William Bromley was called as New Zealand mission president in 1881 President Joseph F. Smith told him that the time was right to take the gospel to the Maoris. The first successes among them came in 1883 but once the Maoris and the Mormons got together Maori converts flocked into the Church. By the end of 1884 the missionaries had firmly established the restored gospel among the Maori people. The next several years were very satisfying to most of the elders and sister missionaries several couples were sent to New Zealand beginning in 1885. In August 1885 there were 16 Maori and 4 pakeha branches of the Church and this number continued to grow steadily for the next 15 years. At the close of 1887 there were 2573 Latter-day Saints and by the turn of the century there were nearly four thousand members of the Church in New Zealand. Most of the Maori tribes including large numbers in the north around Whangarei and the Bay of Islands had been introduced to the gospel. In 1901 there were 79 branches. Clearly since the early years in Hawaii the Church had not enjoyed so much success with a Polynesian people." The 5�" x 8�" diary is written in a unique once rich looking red leather gilt stamped flip top style book that has a worn and torn red leather cover detached but accounted for with his name stamped in gold lettering. The book is hand numbered beginning at 313 to 358. We note that like all LDS Church diaries each page has a carbon copy. What is unusual and unique is that most other Mormon missionary diaries had carbons with one copy given to the church. It appears Elder Olsen kept his copies.
