She was the daughter of merchant Frederick "Pardi" Odell Conant 1857-1928 and his wife Eva "Mardi" Merrill 1852-1936of Portland Maine. Persis' father prepared for college in the public schools of Portland and under private instructors and entered Bowdoin College where he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1880 and Master of Arts in 1883. A distant cousin of the Conant family was James Bryant Conant 1893-1978 an American chemist a transformative President of Harvard University and the first U.S. Ambassador to West Germany.</p><p>Earlier in 1874 Frederick went to California by way of Panama stopping in Kingston Jamaica and various Mexican and Central American ports and returning overland from San Francisco. In 1879 he went to Cuba visited the important cities and returned home by way of Key West Cedar Keys Jacksonville Florida Savannah Georgia Charleston South Carolina and Washington D.C.</p><p>In 1880 Frederick entered his father's store as a clerk and engaged in business in his native city; and became a partner in 1882. He became president of the wholesale portion their grocery firm of Conant Patrick & Company as well as the president of the Conant Corporation the Atlantic Shore Railroad York Utilities Company vice president of the Fidelity Trust Company and a director of the Bath & Brunswick Light & Power Company. Mr. Conant had been a member of the Portland Common Council and Board of Aldermen and was also a director of the Maine General Hospital and a trustee of the Portland Public Library and the North Yarmouth Me. Academy; he also served as a member of the Board of Overseers of Bowdoin College from 1909 to 1928.</p><p>Persis' paternal grandparents were merchant Richard Odell Conant 1828-1894 and Emma Loring 1829-1904 of Portland Maine her maternal grandparents were Capt. Reuben Merrill 1818-1875 and Hannah Elizabeth Blanchard 1822-1876 of Yarmouth Maine.</p><p>Persis was one of at least four children the others were: Elizabeth "Bess" Merrill Conant 1886-1973; Richard Odell Conant 1888-1950 a graduate of Bowdoin College 1912; and Reginald Odell Conant 1889-1965 who married Marion Drew. </p><p>Persis and her elder sister Elizbeth attended Wellesley College. Elizabeth attended from 1905-1909 graduating with a B.A. and was the president 1915-1917 of the Western Maine Wellesley Club. Persis attended Wellesley from 1906-1910 and graduated with a B.A. A roommate of Persis at Wellesley and a correspondent in this collection was Eva Marguerite Miller of Scranton Pennsylvania. Miller attended Wellesley from 1906 to 1910 graduating with a B.A. She was a member of the Scranton College Club.</p><p>Before Persis married she vacationed at Cumberland Maine in the summer when not at school. Her family lived in Portland. </p><p>Persis married Hugh W. Babb on 19 June 1915 in Bridgeport Connecticut. Persis' correspondence with Babb begins in the summer of 1912. Hugh Webster Babb was born on 3 March 1887 in Yarmouth Maine the son of Howard Seldon Babb 1849-1909 and his wife Margaret Loring 1852-1932 of Westbrook Cumberland County Maine. A second son Paul died as an infant. Hugh's father was a farmer and also worked at a paper mill and later insurance agent. Hugh's mother was born in Yarmouth Maine. She and her elder sister were both employed in the paper mill of S.D. Warren father of the famed art collector James P. Warren.</p><p>Babb attended Westbrook Maine public schools until his last two years of high school when he transferred to Highgate School in England. It was the support of Edward Perry Warren that allowed Babb to study and live in England. While in England he appears to have been baptized at the Parish of St. Thomas Oxford in 1906. While in England Babb's father died. His mother had been living in England with Babb. After earning a B.A. degree at Oxford in 1911 he spent two years at Cambridge and later took law degrees from Cambridge and Harvard 1916. He joined the firm of Brandeis Dunbar and Nutter for two years. This firm was founded by Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis and his partner Samuel D. Warren in 1879. Brandeis left the firm then known as Brandeis Dunbar & Nutter to take his seat on the United States Supreme Court in 1916 just before Babb joined the firm or perhaps the reason the firm took on Babb due to Brandeis' departure. On his 1917 WWI registration card he was listed as an attorney living at Boston and working for Dunbar Nutter & McClennen. Paving the way for equality and diversity in the industry the firm welcomes its first three women attorneys to practice law in 1918. After a couple of years with Brandeis Dunbar and Nutter Babb became a partner in Perrin Babb and Heavens. </p><p>In 1920 Babb joined the faculty of Boston University he taught law at Boston University for 37. He became the chairman of the law department of its College of Business Administration. He left the university in 1958 and taught for five years at the University of Maine law school.</p><p>Fluent in Russian Babb translated both "The Law of the Soviet State" Andrey Yanuaryevich Vyshinsky and "Soviet Legal Philosophy" V.I. Lenin & others. He also authored five commercial law textbooks.</p><p>Persis died on 19 April 1964. Prof. Hugh W. Babb died on 1 January 1971 at Portland Maine. He was 83 years old and was buried with his wife at the Riverside Cemetery Yarmouth Cumberland County Maine.</p><p> Persis and her husband had four sons: </p><p>Richard "Dicko" Conant Babb 1918-1943 attended Harvard University where he had plans to become a writer. He was active in track and cross country. On the outbreak of World War Two he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He died in flying accident in England while serving as a flight sergeant pilot. One of Dicko's letters mention that he was waiting in England to be transferred to the U.S. Air Force. While in England Dicko met a British woman by the name of Priscilla Barrett. They became close. After Richard's death and after the war Pricilla wrote to Richard's mother. These letters are included in the collection.</p><p>Prof. Warren Babb 1916-1987 of the School of Music University of Seattle Washington; he was involved in the founding of the International Webern Society of which he served as treasurer in its early years. The society promoted the study of Anton Webern 1883-1945. The International Webern Society was founded in 1962. The purpose of the organization was to encourage study and performance of the music of Anton Webern an Austrian composer and conductor. Along with his mentor Arnold Schoenberg and his colleague Alban Berg Webern was in the core of those in the circle of the Second Viennese School including Ernst Krenek and Theodor W. Adorno. Webern's music was among the most radical of its milieu both in its concision and in its rigorous and resolute apprehension of twelve-tone technique. He is likely named for Edward Perry Warren a family friend see below.</p><p>Hugh W. Babb Jr. 1919-1988 of Cumberland Maine. He attended the College of Business Administration at Boston University where he was active in crew and tennis. He graduated in 1941 in Business Management. He married Janet Bornhofft and raised a family in Cumberland.</p><p>Prof. Howard Babb 1924-1978. He was Professor of English of the University of California at Irvine chair of the Department of English and Comparative Literature and charter member of the UCI faculty. One of the generation whose education was interrupted by the second World War Howard attended Bard College and Cornell University in the V-12 Program before going on active service as a naval officer. He took his B.A. at Kenyon College in 1948 and earned his M.A. 1949 and Ph.D. 1955 at Harvard University. Before coming to UCI he taught at Kenyon and The Ohio State University where he progressed from assistant instructor to associate professor and vice-chair of the English department. He published articles on such different figures as Christopher Marlowe Ben Jonson F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sherwood Anderson. However his main concern was with the novel and especially with style in the novel a topic he also published on.</p><p>One of the collection's notable correspondents is:</p><p><b>Edward Perry Warren</b> 1860-1928 known as Ned Warren was an American art collector and the author of works proposing an idealized view of homosexual relationships. He wrote 9 letters in this collection 5 to Hugh W. Babb and 4 to Babb's mother. The letters to Mrs. Babb concern an illness Hugh was suffering from when he was attending Oxford Warren was caring for him. The letters Warren wrote to Hugh concern the state of the Classics at Oxford and proposals to change them being mandatory. Warren is now best known as the former owner of the "Warren Cup" in the British Museum. Warren was born in Waltham Massachusetts one of five children born into a wealthy Boston Massachusetts family. He was the son of Samuel Denis Warren 1817-1888 who founded the Cumberland Paper Mills in Maine and Susan Cornelia Clarke 1825-1901 the daughter of Dorus Clarke. He had four siblings: Samuel Dennis Warren II 1852-1910 lawyer and businessman; Henry Clarke Warren 1854-1899 scholar of Sanskrit and Pali; Cornelia Lyman Warren 1857-1921 philanthropist; Fredrick Fiske Warren 1862-1938 political radical and utopist. Warren graduated Harvard with a B.A. in 1883. At Oxford he met archeologist John Marshall 1860–1928 with whom he formed a close and long-lasting relationship though Marshall married in 1907 much to Warren's dismay. Beginning in 1888 Warren made England his primary home. He and Marshall lived together at Lewes House a large residence in Lewes East Sussex where they became the center of a circle of like-minded men interested in art and antiquities who ate together in a dining room overlooked by Lucas Cranach's Adam and Eve—a gift of Harold W. Parsons – now in the Courtauld Institute of Art. One account said that "Warren's attempts to produce a supposedly Greek and virile way of living into his Sussex home" produced "a comic mixture of apparently monastic severity no tea or soft chairs allowed and lavish living. Warren spent much of his time in Continental Europe collecting art works many of which he donated to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston assembling for that institution the "largest collection of erotic Greek vase paintings "in the U.S. He has been described as having "a taste for pornography" and was a "pioneer" in collecting it. His published works include <i>A Defence of Uranian Love</i> in three volumes which proposes a type of same-sex relationship similar to that prevalent in Classical Greece in which an older man would act as guide and lover to a younger man. Warren's oldest brother Samuel D. Warren had left law to work managing the family's paper mills. He managed the family trust established in May 1889 with the legal assistance of Louis D. Brandeis to benefit his father's widow and five children. Edward Warren challenged the family trust in 1906 claiming that Brandeis had structured it to benefit his law partner Samuel to the detriment of the other family members. The dispute ended with Samuel's suicide in 1910. The Warren Trust case became a point of contention during the 1916 Senate hearings on the confirmation of Brandeis to the Supreme Court and it remains important for its explication of legal ethics and professional responsibility. In a printed piece of ephemera published at the death of Margaret Loring Babb Hugh W. Babb's mother she is shown working at the Warren Paper Mill with her sister. It's probable that Hugh's father also worked there as well census records state he worked in a paper mill. This same piece of ephemera states that Hugh W. Babb was able to attend school in England due to the benefit of Edward Perry Warren.</p><p>Warren's family business was the S.D. Warren Paper Mill Cumberland Paper Mills a paper mill on the Presumpscot River in Westbrook Maine. It is now owned by SAPPI Limited a South African paper concern. It is one of Westbrook's major employers. A paper mill was established on this site in the 1730s when it was a rural and fairly unpopulated area. In 1854 that small paper mill in the soon-to-be established town of Westbrook was purchased for $28000 by Samuel Dennis Warren known as S.D. Warren. The mill was named Grant Warren and Company. In that year the mill was only running two paper machines and had a production output of about 3000 pounds of paper per day. Nine years later in 1863 an additional machine was added to the mill and the production increased to 11000 pounds per day. In 1854 paper was made by beating down rags and using the pulp from the rags. In 1867 after the mill changed its name to S.D. Warren Paper Mill Company Warren decided to add wood fibers with rags fibers for paper. It was the first mill in the United States to do so. The mill became the largest in the world. By 1880 the mill produced 35000 pounds of paper per day. Warren died in 1888 and was succeeded by his son also Samuel Dennis Warren who managed the business until his death in 1910. The mill continued to grow through the 20th century employing close to 3000 Westbrook residents.</p><p> The majority of the correspondence in this collection is either written by or to Persis Loring Conant Babb her husband Hugh Webster Babb Persis' parents Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Odell Conant Persis' sister Elizabeth "Bess" Conant as well as Persis and Hugh's children Howard Hugh Jr. Richard & Warren and Hugh W. Babb's parents Mr. and Mrs. Howard S. Babb. </p><p> There are also letters by friends of Persis including her college roommate Eva M. Miller a friend Ethelynde Sylvester Smith the well-known singer other friends and relatives. There are many letters during the time when Persis and her sister and girlfriends were all attending Wellesley College and soon after graduating. There are letters of Hugh W. Babb when he was in college And letters by Robert Hale another suitor of Persis when he was in college. There are also letters of Hugh and Persis' son Richard written when he was serving in the Canadian Air Force during World War Two.</p><p><b>Sample Quotations:</b></p><p><i>"Sunday Oct 1 '05</i></p><p><i>My dear Persis</i></p><p><i>'Sadie' Sally we are going to call her is in here writing on our one table so I am sitting on my couch.</i></p><p><i>Hattie went off to call with her mother on some one in Cambridge right after chapel this morning so I have been alone…</i></p><p><i>I went to chapel this morning or rather the regular Sunday Service with two girls at our table. One is from Somerville Mass. another 120 miles west of Chicago. The choir composed of about 30 girls marched in the first thing singing sort of Episcopal like just like choir boys and marched out after it. A Mr. hall preached the sermon 'God is Love.' Today is Flower Sunday. Always the 1st Sun is…</i></p><p><i>The chapel was jammed all the college girls and some Dana hall and parents. I saw Jennie Milliken when I was coming out of church.

I met Mabel's roommate Clara Williams the leader of the Glee Club…</i></p><p><i>…Then I was introduced to Gertrude Owen and I think she is about the most beautiful girl I ever saw. I noticed it at once and afterwards Hattie said she was considered the prettiest girl in college. She is in the choir walks with Miss Williams…</i></p><p><i>After we had been introduced to about a thousand people I was introduced to Pres. Hazard and she asked if I was any relation of Miss Conant at Walnut Hill School. I said I supposed we were descended from the same ancestor and then she said she was much loved here. I also met three people in the Christian Ass. Or something secretary & pres. Or somebody like that who were standing in line with her. Then we had punch and then Pres. Hazard addressed everybody from the stairs in the hall then the man who preached today most of the girls though he made them feel homesick. Then the Pres. Of Christian Ass. & Pres of student government and then the girls sang and gave the Wellesley cheer and cheered the Pres. And all those who spoke. It sounded great. They did it all together so well. The singing of 'Where oh where are the grand old seniors' etc. in a slow sort of way made me feel sort of weepy in fact all the singing but I didn't. Hat wept a few tears after she got home and her mother was here too. Then we came home…</i></p><p><i>Well I must say good night…Love to all of you…Bess"</i></p><p><i>"2 Oct 1905 629 Washington St. Sunday</i></p><p><i>My dearest Schwester</i></p><p><i>I thought I would write you today and tell you my doings the past week or what I didn't tell in my last letter.</i></p><p><i>Thursday Friday and Sat. morning there was cheering in College Hall after chapel. We all hustled up to the third floor as fast as we could go and waited our turn to cheer. Thurs. it was the Senior Officers Fri the Junior Officers and Sat. Sophomore Officers which had been elected the afternoon before. Gladys Doton is Vice Pres of the Junior Class. Isn't that fine Each class gives its own cheer and then says what they are cheering for 3 times as 'Senior Class Officers' or the girl's name.</i></p><p><i>Friday afternoon Miss Hill gave all the Freshmen a talk in the barn on the gymnastics and sports. It was great fun to hear her talk. There are so many things I want to do and you can only do one.</i></p><p><i>Yesterday was a pretty busy day. I went to chapel at 8:30 A.M. and then hustled up to College Hall and up on the 3rd floor and cheered. At nine o'clock I had a recitation in Math on the 3rd floor. Then my class work was done for the morning. I came home with Hattie made my bed and fixed up my things and then plugged German out of Sarah's book. Lunch was at 12:30 then I hustled back with Alice Gager who had a class at 1:30 and I bought a German book or rather 3 two for myself and one for Hattie. It was the last time the place was to be open from 1 – 1:30 so we could buy books. I had to climb to the 4th floor to go to the German Office. I went over to Katherine's room & asked them to supper. Then I went out under the trees facing the lake and sat on a bench and studied my German some more till 2:15 and then I went back and went to my German class up one flight. Then Hattie & I went down to the bookstore just below the German room and I bought a little blue note book…</i></p><p><i>…Mae Lowdon and myself went back up to College Hall to an 'At Home" to meet Miss Dudley who was something to do with the College Settlement Work in Boston. It was from 4 to 6 but we didn't get there till 4:30 probably…</i></p><p><i>Just as the bell rang for dinner Katherine and Fuzzy came and we hustled over to dinner. They had been to a tea and so couldn't get here any sooner. They and Hattie sat at my table. One of the girls there Julia Pease also had an upper-class girl so it was quite jolly. Betsy Eskay had her Senior to supper also a Miss Frickel who seemed very nice. I met her after supper. She did not sit at my table.</i></p><p><i>We sat over there in the parlors for a while and talked and then I had to come home and get dressed. At eight we went down to the Wellesley Inn. Some of the girls live there and they had asked all the Freshmen from A to M to a dance from 8 to 9:30. We had a great time. The Inn dinning room and waiting room are finished off very prettily. The tables were cleared away and we dance in there…I met the girl Amy Brown who Mrs. Smith wanted me to meet this summer…I had a dance with Miss Finlay a girl at my table and she took me up and introduced me to her. She seems real nice…</i></p><p><i>You know one of the girls here in the house is from Louisville Kentucky. Do you remember the name of that girl on the steamer who was from Louisville the real pretty girl who wore her hair parted and rolled at the sides and looked so very pretty I wanted to tell Aph her name and see if she knew her. Aph is the dearest thing. She isn't at all pretty but so nice and warm hearted. She said the people at first seemed dreadful to her we are so cold and abrupt in our manners I suppose to her but now she liked them. This morning at breakfast she was the last one to finish and we waited for her and she said in time she would make us all true Southerners. Sunday morning breakfast and noons other days we can sit any where we like that is we fill up the tables as we come in. A dear friend of Aph's Martha Cecil from Louisville also is a perfect dear. She is very pretty and attractive and has lots of life. I think I'd fall in love with her if I was a boy. I have met her but I don't know her well at all yet. Aph has an awfully dear room at least she has everything to fix it up0. Probably she is rich…</i></p><p><i>With much love Bessie"</i></p><p><i>"629 Washington Street Wellesley Mass. Dec 10 1905</i></p><p><i>Dearest sister</i></p><p><i>Guess it is time for me to be answering my own sister's letter don't you I was just reading over yours and your account of the A.D.S. dance. In it you call him Bobby of course Mr. Hale. Is that what you call him It sounded funny someway. You also said Dr. Bolton had gone. Guess I will go to Dr. Race now as long as I know him and I would like him to have the trade.</i></p><p><i>Mardi said you were having a red voile dress made. I am glad of it. You will need all the dresses you can get up here next year. Dresses to wear over to dinner medium dresses like my violet muslin and pongee are what you need the most. You will have your white silk and your graduating dresses for best and that white dotted muslin and your others for second best. Another thing if you buy any white waists get pretty thin ones embroidered or with lace insertion and have white slips to wear underneath. A pretty white waist and skirt looks dressed up and if you have a slip you can wear thin ones and be warm enough and also cover up your under flannels. We might embroider a waist for ourselves next summer. Slips are much worn by the girls red green pink blue yellow and every color. I like white ones as well as any for myself…</i></p><p><i>I thought of trying for Tree Day Dancing when I heard they needed more girls but I asked my gym teacher about it and she said that and corrective gym were too much. It wasn't wise to do both so I shall not try for it. I like Miss Louis ever so much. The things we have to do are good for us. I shall show them to you when I get home. They are hard work all right. I am so tired when I come out from the class I can hardly walk home. It tires your muscles at least if you do it right it does. I guess I do it right for my muscles are surely tired enough.</i></p><p><i>Last night we all went to the Vaudeville Performance at the barn. It was great fun and well done by the girls. Nina and Fuzzy were in one of the numbers. Nina was the animal trainer had a fierce black mustache white jacket and white baggy trousers with black shiny gaiters and she carried a black whip like the circus ring masters. There were three elephants and two monkeys. Fuzzy was one of the monkeys. She had on a red jacket and pants and little cap and the other girl had on green just like the suits the monkeys have on that the hand organ men carry around. They hopped around and danced together and then climbed up on stools and sat during the rest of the performance…</i></p><p><i>Lyman Abbott spoke at church this morning but I didn't go. I decided to stay home…</i></p><p><i>I must close…With heaps of love to you all Bess"</i></p><p><i>"6 Nov 1906</i></p><p><i>Dear Teddy</i></p><p><i>Your long looked for letter came this morning. I knew you were with Mrs. Curtis so supposed that was why you did not write.</i></p><p><i>You asked about foot-ball. There haven't been but 3 games I think and something has happened every time so I couldn't go but I did want to go when Malden came…</i></p><p><i>Last Thursday at 4 P.M. was the first 'Rossini Club' program. It was splendid. Miss Hawes sang beautifully.</i></p><p><i>…Last night Dad and I went to hear Ossip Gabrilowitsch the greatest Russian pianist at City Hall. I never heard anything like it not even Paderewski. I never dreamt that such music could be brought from a piano. He was a whole orchestra in himself. Such different shades of color nimbleness of fingers and marvelous technique! A musical friend of ours who has heard all the greatest pianists including Rubenstein says none of them can equal Gabrilowitsch. He is to be in Boston on Sat Nov 17th. Do go if possibly can. You will always be glad you had heard him for he has a great reputation already and can't possibly be over 25 yrs. Old. He played 'Theme and Variations' one of his own compositions for the first time in America. It is wonderful and certainly ranked well up with the Bach Chopin etc. that he performed. When I say that the audience recalled him five times for an encore and got it and at the end of 1 ¾ hours of playing they recalled him twice and insisted on an encore at the end of the program you may know that calm Portland went fairly crazy over him for they generally cannot get on their hats and out of the door quickly enough after a concert. Do go and hear him. Then the French Saint-Saens the greatest living composer is to be in Boston soon also…</i></p><p><i>Mama sends her love…Yours lovingly Ethelynde"</i></p><p><i>"14 Dec 1906 Thursday night</i></p><p><i>Dearest Teddy</i></p><p><i>I was awfully glad to hear that you are int eh Mandolin Club. Congratulations!</i></p><p><i>Last Friday I took my last German lesson until after the holidays. I simply could not keep up on it with all my extra work. I've been doing quite a little Christmas shopping for you see I won't have those last few days before Xmas in which to shop…</i></p><p><i>This afternoon I went to the Rossini Club. It was the best program yet. Mrs. Whitchouse was the only one I didn't care for. The quality of her voice was different on about every note she sang and she slid around from one note to another terribly instead of hitting them fairly and squarely.</i></p><p><i>Tuesday noon we entertained Gypsy Smith the evangelist his wife and daughter Zillah 22 yrs. Old at lunch. They are all charming to know. His daughter is as handsome as a picture looks very much like a gypsy. She has black hair and eyes beautiful teeth and does her hair in a coronation braid. Her mother is very English but lovely and I never met such a lovable man as Mr. Smith. They are all very highly culture. To say that of him would seem impossible when I tell you that he didn't know one letter from another until he was 17 yrs. Old and is now but 46. They have one son married and another in Cambridge University England. Never heard anybody like him in the pulpit. The hall is packed jam full every night and Sunday night there were 2700 people there the biggest crowd that ever came inside the doors…</i></p><p><i>Lovingly Ethelynde"</i></p><p><i>"Psi Upsilon Brunswick May 9 1907</i></p><p><i>Dear Persis</i></p><p><i>The spring fever possesses every one up here. Tennis baseball track work and long walks into the country consume the time and even my athletic ability is great enough for the last. The country here abouts is wild and heavily wooded with great old pine trees and though the flat plains extend for many miles on all sides the scenery is to me fascinating.</i></p><p><i>The air now begins to be fragrant with spring odors and when the wind blows from off the sea down through the plains and the pine trees it has a wonderful quality stimulating and at the same time restful. So you can hardly wonder that our daily walks mean much and that disinclination to study affects us all alike.</i></p><p><i>Lately too I have been trying to learn to play tennis but I do not know enough about the game to enjoy it as yet.</i></p><p><i>Last night we celebrated in a wild sort of a way the victory over Colby. We found some old fireworks and ransacked the neighborhood for fences and wood piles. Being fairly successful we soon had a good fire going in front of the chapel. As the clapper had fallen out of the bell Paul Blanchard one of our seniors and Rodney Ross in my delegation went hand over hand up the bell rope a hundred feet got through the trap door at the top and finally put it in again. After the returning victors were escorted from the train to the campus excitement subsided. Saturday we play Maine and we will & hope beat them…</i></p><p><i>I feel sorry that you cannot come here for the Psi Upsilon house party and the Ivy Day celebration.

On Sunday morning I hauled a specialist out of bed and arranged with him to come to Stoke Ferry with me in the afternoon. We got here about even. There was a consultation with the local doctor and all was so clear that the London doctor left at ten P.M. I am staying merely because Hugh will be ready by Thursday or so to come with me to Lewes and it is not worth while to go there and back in the meantime.</i></p><p><i>Mr. Coombe in my opinion should have written you and should not have wired. He would not if he had known my address but would have left the question of wiring to me. He could have got my address from Lewes.</i></p><p><i>I mention this not for the sake of criticizing him but that you may clearly understand all sides of the case.</i></p><p><i>Hugh had been worrying himself about his examinations had been working too hard and had been sleepless in spite of some sleeping doses. The doctor at Oxford advised him to go away. He did not like to write to Lewes wherein he was wrong and he came here without getting much good. He had fainted at Oxford; and when he got to the Stoke Ferry Station to go up for his examinations he fainted again and struck his head. He had to be brought back to Mr. Coombes was put to bed wandering in mind. His fall was on Wednesday. I got the news Saturday morning and am writing on Monday. He is to all appearance perfectly well. He is dressed and has been downstairs to play on the piano and remarked 'Fancy my being thought ill.' The appearance will not be deceitful for the London doctor assured me that in such cases recovery is speedy and complete. It wasn't indeed necessary for me to come or to bring a physician. But I couldn't divine from Mr. Coombe's letters which were not supplemented by a letter form the doctor what was the matter. I had to provide against the unknown. The only result of my doings is that Hugh is got out of bed at once and given as much to eat as he wants. The only result at Oxford is that he misses honour mods which loss as I have written to you. Does not preclude his final success. My idea that he would come home with out returning to Oxford for the summer term is subject to revision. It may be better in every way for him to go back to Oxford. We will see how he gets on at Lewes during the vacation which begins almost on the day when he reaches Lewes. He is allowed to ride and to lay games – indeed 'that would be the best thing for him.' He may read but is not to take up hard reading at once. He shows no sign whatever of depression. It is all over.</i></p><p><i>If you have a clever son he will lead you a dance and you must pay the piper. Yours faithfully E.P.

I did not put the pipes down on my list the list of things to do which I keep to as not to trust to memory but so I have fallen into the mistake of trusting to the list. I remembered this morning but had not your letter. You may have said something about shapes. I bought those which seemed to suit your size or age but not with the biggest bowls such as my brother used to like. I had to hunt for bowls for him. Either I know nothing of wood or else it is 'topping' & the price also. There is no amber: I conjectured pocket use. So these things are to go though books may not. There seems to be an article in the Round Table on Education I will get it & tear it out for you.

At present the museum is not buying; and the second statue which I could recommend turns up. I shall try to waken the body; and may succeed; but here is the case in general. Lane saw the futility of a certain policy. I was to come home; and he and I were to start another policy; but he died. I enquired what the post Lane policy was to be and found that it was to be the old futile policy.

The trees are all gray with the sand and the hills are sore and brown – anything but an attractive place now. I am afraid that I have lived too long in the east to ever be very contended with San Diego.

You see already they are beginning to change the old place and I dare say that in a year's time we shall find the place much altered. Miss Fisher has been ill with the heat and the work which she has had to do and so has given up all plans for her summer work at College and has gone to the mountains.

I too have been very lax about writing to you I enjoy it so much too but Ansbach seems to have had a dulling effect on both my physical and mental processes…</i></p><p><i>I am very sorry to hear that you have to move again. I know what an ordeal it is Mother has done it so many times and now she tells me she has sold the farm & is going to live in 'Oakthorpe' a house we have near Newbury. In sheer desperation she sold hundreds of my books. They are so heavy to pack and carry. I know when I get back there is going to be much weeping & wailing on my behalf when I suddenly want something I haven't needed for years – that has just been sold. Luckily since I've been over here I have almost lost the terrible habit I had of hoarding. So many things of value have been stolen & it is so difficult to be constantly packing up what most people would consider rubbish that I just do not worry any more.</i></p><p><i>I hope there will only be a few more letters and then I will be with you. I'm getting to be an old lady and have been out here long enough. I want more to think about. I realize the average girl of my age is busy with husband and children and I'm not stupid in that I carry a torch for Richard I've tried with other people but I'm just not interested. I think Richard had everything I wanted when I look back and remember those completely happy evenings when all he and I had for entertainment was a long walk over the hills or a still longer bicycle ride to the movies I wonder why I've never met anyone since that could be happy with so little. Over here it is not considered having a good time unless one gets drunk or has hectic entertainment all the time. So down here I've had a lonely but quite pleasant time all on my own. My boss wanted me to renew my contract and offered me a very tempting raise in grade & pay but I turned it down and am definitely going home in September. Ansbach is beautiful rolling hills and miles of pine forests all the boys on the depot are staying over for one thing – fräulein. The place is full of them. Florence an American girl & myself are the only two allied women here and perhaps you can get a rough idea of the situation when I tell you that neither of us have had a date for three months. Luckily I am used to the country and am becoming an ardent photographer with terrible results but Florence hails from New York and is beginning to get a violent inferiority complex. She amuses me greatly. She's really funny gazes at herself in the evenings sends for new revolutionary make-ups and all to no avail. She can't understand what she lacks that the fräuleins have but from what I can make out the fundamental reason is that there are a great many obstacles to overcome before marrying a fräulein – dozens of papers to fill in etc. and I suppose the boys feel that what is difficult to obtain will be more worthwhile. I think I am right don't you…</i></p><p><i>The sun is shining and I feel very happy. I am working with nice people & the Germans are very fond of me. I shall be sorry to leave them. My love and best wishes to you Pricilla."</i></p> books

Kissam Family Americana
RECEIPTS FOR ESTATE OF CORNELIUS DURYEA
Brooklyn NY; Jamaica L.I. 1886. Full calf with brown-stamped borders to upper and lower boards gilt-stamped red calf label to backstrip. Some minor rubbing to extremities but otherwise VG. Approx. 126 ll. of ms receipts many tipped in. Oblong format 5- " x 7 ¼". <br/><br/>Cornelius Duryea and his seven daughters are part of the sixth generation of the Kissam family. The Kissams were early settlers on the North Side of Long Island and are fortunate to have had a detailed genealogy produced by Edward Kissam in 1892 which dates back to 1644. The family history is preserved by the Huntington Historical Society and many historic sites in Long Island can be traced back to the family. This receipt book chronicles 25 years of the proceeds of the estate of the late Cornelius Duryea after his death at age 74 in 1861. Most of his substantial estate was left to his wife and daughters. It is possible based on these documents that Edward Kissam’s genealogy mistakenly names a Wm. Wheeler as the husband of Josephine Duryea who’s married name here appears to be Woolley KISSAM 107. Signatures and receipts attributed to the following parties: Josephine H Woolley Caroline H Cornell daughter Phebe K Leech daughter Sarah Anne Van Duyn Sarah A Thorne daughter Abraham. P. Leech executor Seth Chapman also executor Thomas Bradlee Samuel Smith Ezra W. Conklin Deborah P. Cornell/Rhodes daughter Deborah Jane Duryea wife/executor John Gacy tax collector of Town & School IRS Receipt/Tax Receipts Receipt from James Hall Monumental Works Cornelius Duryea Chapman grandson. hardcover books

Much of the material has highly religious content which specifically references and deals with the Second Great Awakening a period of strong religious revival that took place in America during the first several decades of the 19th Century. </p><p> While it occurred in all parts of the United States the Second Great Awakening was especially strong in the Northeast and the Midwest. This religious awakening was unique in that it moved beyond the educated elite of New England to those who were less wealthy and less educated. The center of revivalism was the so-called Burned-over district in western New York the region produced dozens of new denominations communal societies and reform. The correspondents in this collection lived in towns in Massachusetts and Vermont that straddled the border of New York State. Closely related to the Second Great Awakening were other reform movements such as Temperance which is touched on in one letter.</p><p><b>Sample Quotes:</b></p><p><i>"Pittsfield Augt 29 1816</i></p><p><i>Mr. Eli Garlish</i></p><p><i>Sir</i></p><p><i>Mr. Casey informs me that you refuse to let him quarry on your land either as agent for Elisha Ely or myself. That you are abusive & threaten to use all legal & illegal methods in your power to prevent his working the Quarry.</i></p><p><i>A man possessing a Lordship of six or eight hundred acres of land ought in order to command respect to be a gentleman. At least he ought to be above pocketing $500 for a lease of part of his estate and then refuse the lease the right of occupying the premises agreeable to the tenor of the lease. And he further ought to be ashamed of pocketing a large sum for work done on the quarry & then in the face of & contrary to the tenor of his own instrument appropriate the Quarry to his own use and when called on for a settlement break out into a passion – go to a tavern quarrel with the hostler & swear that he 'will whip Ely like an honest man' – Believe me Mr. Garlish a man possessing a Lordship ought to hold such conduct in the utmost abhorrence for if such abuses were tolerated in the community the vilest wretch would have the same right to fall on & give you a bruising that you would have to assault another man – be assured that I lay no claims to the character of a bully or blackguard neither am I to be intimidated.</i></p><p><i>Get yourself cool my good friend. Lay your hand upon your heart call on your conscience follow the dictates of your better judgement & my head for it you will at once see the folly of your present proceedings and the necessity of a speedy adjustment with Casey who has full powers to act for Elisha Ely and also a settlement with me for you may rest assured that you are entangled in a web of your own manufacture & unless by honorable means you extricate yourself it will eventually prove very detrimental to your interest. I am &c. Alexander Ely"</i></p><p><i>"Lanesborough Jan the 11 1818</i></p><p><i>Dear Brother & Sister</i></p><p><i>I have been informed this evening that Mr. Stone is in the neighborhood tho it a late hour I will not fail of writing a few lines to inform you of the health of our friends. Father Norton's family are much as they were when brother left here except Sally who for five days was very feeble and I think rather lower that when you left here since that time she has been on the gaining hand but is not able to sit up much now. Isaac Smith fails very fast and today I have been informed that his mouth is very sore.</i></p><p><i>It has been a xxxxxx time amongst professors of Religion this fall and fore part of winter but for a few days past I am informed their attention has been called conferences have been very full and some that have been very careless and stupid are now enquiring to know what shall I do to be saved. Otis Smith came forward in conference a few evenings ago and made a very humble acknowledgement for his treatment of professors and asked their forgiveness and is wondering if Christians saw such a beauty in the character of xxxxxxx he now discovers why they never told him and I hope that he will be a bold soldier of the cross as was Paul the persecutor. And my dear Sister while I am informing you of the prosperity of Zion in Lanesborough me thinks I hear you anxiously enquiring after the little branch of Zion in Pittsfield it has been a dark and trying day amongst us in general since you left as but some seem to be more engaged of late and feel as tho God was about to visit us by his spirit. Today I have been to meeting and five of the sisters spoke and some if I am a judge really possessed the spirit of the meek and lowly Jesus. It reminded me of the milk's kin carrying the ark to its place. Affectionately yours Lucy Norton"</i></p><p><i>"Thursday April 3</i></p><p><i>Dear Sister</i></p><p><i>With acclamations of joy and songs of praise I would inform you the Lord is in this place and I think we may adopt the language of the Prophet great is the Holy one of Israel in the midst of thee. Mr. Ebenezer Squire came here yesterday to inform us they had such a meeting to Mr. L. Clarkes the night before as had not been in town for twenty years about forty or fifty people were assembled and no appearance of an idle spectator some were speaking forth the wonders of redeeming love others inquiring to know what they should do to be save not scarcely one but what had some thing to say. They have meetings every evening and Mr. S says there is not a family on the street but what there is more or less awakened in it this awaking has not appeared very visible until about a fortnight or three weeks and now Sister I suppose you may well think that by this time I am ready to ask the question why I should be confined when the day has come that I have so many years prayed for desired to have and at times believed would come yet I think I am truly say I rejoice in the government of that God that orders my trials and changes in life and believe will be my object of love and adoration in a boundless eternity.</i></p><p><i>Saturday April 5 Doctor Roberts came here yesterday to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord he said from Mr. Collins down to Pittsfield line there is fifteen or twenty hopefully converted within a week.

I wish to do this is the fear of God hoping that it might be the means of doing good to his cause. I hope that I shall strive to not build up pride and paint it over to such the natural ear. But wishing to do it not knowing but it might fall into the hands of tempted lambs of Christ which are in the same way that God by his almighty grace has commanded me to go…"</i></p> books

He was born in 1809 in Westmoreland Oneida Co. New York the son of blacksmith Nathaniel Babbitt 1769-1855 and Betsey Holman 1768-. In 1851 he became the first to manufacture and market soap in individual bars which he packaged attractively and added a claim of quality. He took the ordinary and proved it could be turned into a marketable product. Babbitt invented most of the machinery he used in his production plants. He owned extensive ironworks and machine shops in Whitesboro New York. He held more than 100 patents. Babbitt became known as a genius of advertising. He rivaled his friend P. T. Barnum in originality and success becoming a household name throughout the U.S. His soap was one of the first nationally advertised products. The soap was sold from brightly painted street cars with musicians which helped lead to the iconic phrase: "get on the bandwagon." Babbitt was the first manufacturer to offer tours of his factories and one of the first to give away free samples.</p><p>Babbitt died October 20 1889 and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery Bronx New York. He was survived by his wife Rebecca McDuffie Babbitt 1820 - 1894 and his two daughters Ida Babbitt Hyde 1845-1896 and Lillia Babbitt Hyde 1856–1939 to whom he left one half of his $5000000 estate as well as the controlling interest in his company. </p><p>Lillia Babbitt Hyde established The Lillia Babbitt Hyde Foundation in 1924 and served as its president until her death in 1939. The bulk of her estate was left to the Foundation raising the value of its assets as of June 1941 to approximately $3200000. Lillia Babbitt Hyde married Clarence Melville Hyde 1846-1908 the brother of Dr. Frederick E. Hyde who married Lillia's sister Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde.</p><p>Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde married Dr. Frederick E. Hyde on 27 March 1869. The Hyde brothers were the sons of Edwin Hyde of Groton Connecticut and Elizabeth Alvina Mead. The Hyde family was the direct descendant of Sgt. James Hyde Jr. 1753-1809 of Norwich Connecticut who served with the 4th Regt. Connecticut Line in the American Revolution and was at Germantown Valley Forge Monmouth Stony Point and Yorktown. Dr. Hyde was born in New York City on 25 February 1844.</p><p>Together Ida and her husband Frederick had at least four children: Elizabeth Alvina Hyde 1870-; Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde 1872-1933 who married Edith Moore daughter of James Moore of New York City in 1910; Frederick Hyde Jr. 1874-; and Ida Josephine Hyde 1877- who married William Lord Sexton; and Mabel Hyde 1882-. The Hyde's educated their sons at St. Paul's Military School on Long Island. When the Hyde's were first married the couple set up home in Ida Babbitt's parent's house on 36th Street in Manhattan in a fashionable neighborhood and Hyde at the insistence of Mrs. Babbitt had a medical practice for only the "best families" in New York City. The Hyde family also kept a country place "Quaker Ridge Farm" in North Greenwich Connecticut. By 1900 the Hyde's moved uptown to West 69th Street where they kept a large house with nine servants housekeeper cook maid parlor maid chamber maid waitress laundress lady's maid and a general servant.</p><p>In 1889 Benjamin Babbitt died leaving a great inheritance that was split between his wife and two daughters. However his daughter Ida died six months later and her share of his estate in the millions went to her husband and two sons. After the death of his wife Ida Dr. Frederick E. Hyde retired from practicing medicine and spent a good deal of time traveling and pursuing his hobbies and philanthropic pursuits. </p><p>There is a fjord in Greenland named Frederick E. Hyde Fjord. The fjord is located on a peninsula known as Peary Land. Frederick E. Hyde Fjord divides Peary Land into North Peary Land and South Peary Land. Robert E. Peary had been the first to reach the North Pole and the northernmost part of Greenland is called Peary Land. In a book written by Robert Peary entitled <i>Nearest the Pole: A Narrative of the Polar Expedition of the Peary Arctic Club in the S. S. Roosevelt 1905 -1906</i> on page 329 we learn that Peary's Expedition of 1898-1902 was made under the auspices of and with funds furnished by the Peary Arctic Club of New York City of which Frederick E. Hyde was a member and supporter. The book includes a chapter on the Peary Arctic Club. Frederick E. Hyde was one of the founding members and was elected as its first vice president. </p><p>Dr. Frederick Erastus Hyde and his sons Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde and Frederick Erastus Hyde Jr. were members of several scientific institutions. Dr. Hyde was member and benefactor of the Linnaean Society the American Museum of Natural History and the American Association for the Advancement of Science among others. </p><p>Frederick Jr. and his brother Benjamin were also members of some of the same organizations as their father. They also financed explorations in the American Southwest between 1893 and 1907. Dr. Hyde's sons founded the Hyde Exploring Expedition which helped to fund the work of Richard Wetherill 1858–1910 from about 1893 to 1903. Wetherill was a member of a prominent Colorado ranching family and was an amateur explorer in the discovery research and excavation of sites associated with the Ancient Pueblo People. Wetherill is credited with the discovery of Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde and was responsible for initially selecting the term Anasazi Navajo for ancient enemies as the name for these ancient people. He also discovered Kiet Seel ruin now included along with Betatakin ruin in Navajo National Monument in northeastern Arizona. "Slightly smaller than Cliff Palace Kiet Seel possesses qualities that in the eyes of some lend it greater charm and interest." Wetherill became fascinated by the ruins and artifacts and made a career as an explorer guide excavator and trading post operator.</p><p>Predating this collection of diaries Dr. Hyde and his sons went on a world tour in 1892 and spent 70 days on horseback in Palestine and the Saini. Dr. Hyde died at the age of 92 on 16 September 1936 at his summer home in East Hampton L.I. </p><p><b>Sample Quotes from the Diaries:</b></p><p>"December 9 1896</p><p> …Arrival Port Said about 8 p.m. anchored in canal.

You must excuse my silence I have hardly found time to sleep this summer. On the 19th of this month we had a hard earthquake shock it shook our house badly knocking down pictures it was accompanied by a loud rumbling report. On last Saturday the 27th inst. we were visited by a terrific cyclone it lasted not over five minutes that is the worst of it; but during that time it did a great deal of damage. I had noticed in the afternoon that a storm was gathering and about half past five I went to the other end of town on an errand thinking that I could return before the rain. I did not stay much over a minute at the house and when I came out I noticed a strange cloud in the north west it had grown very dark the sky seemed almost black save this one cloud which was of a luminous gray color. It was cone shaped like this drawing of a cyclone shape and was moving at a fearful rate not more than 15 feet above the ground that is its lower edge it came rolling and tumbling sweeping everything before it. I ran for dear life to get home for I thought that we were all to be killed and I wanted to be with Leb and Baby but I could not outrun the storm it was on me before I knew it. The street was thickly lined with shade trees all the way until within a short distance from our house; when I reached this cleared space I could hear the trees crashing behind me; and a gust from another direction was blowing against me. My breath gave out before I reached home and I had to turn in at Mr. Beabout's next door. I got inside the gate just as Mr. Berry's house across the street went crashing down. Our barn and Mrs. Bland's stable are flat on the ground. Mr. Berry's house is demolished a dozen or more barns sheep houses houses &c. are ruined right in town; the Disciple Church is pronounced unsafe in an apple orchard back of us but 2 or 3 trees are left. Our old shop had a large portion of its roof rafters and all taken. Some of the weatherboarding is blown off of our house. But I don't think of that I am glad that none of us were killed…We send love to all. Write soon Maud"</i></p><p><i>"Perryton Ohio Sept 2 1900</i></p><p><i>Dear Mamma</i></p><p><i>I received your very welcome letter as I would have rec'd one from the dead. I have written to all of the folks in rotation and have heard from not one letter until receiving your postal. How is Hulda's health this summer I did hope that I would be able to come "East." This summer but that ever-ready question of finance bobbed up and stopped me. I hope that I will be able to come home before I get so old that I can't travel. We are straining every nerve to get a good stock of goods in our store; we have 5 times as much as when you were here. Frank goes to Newark tomorrow to work in the glass-house if he likes it he will stay about 3 mos. and then go to school. We could not spare Floyd for this reason and then I do not think that you ought to keep house. You would have to have some one to prepare and make you eat your meals at the proper time; you cannot stand the same system of recuperation that you did twenty years ago. Floyd is only a child and has a healthy boy's appetite I doubt if you could cook enough in one day to last him a day.</i></p><p><i>We do not intend to stay here all our lives when we have a good chance to sell out we will do so. Now Mamma don't live by yourself. I expect that you have as nearly a perfect home with the girls as you will ever have on earth. "Such polite well-bred children no smoking no drinking no hard or sordid work." No tired out cross worked down women. I know of few such homes. I am always glad to have you with me why not come here To be sure there is nothing inviting in my surroundings but I would give you filial respect. I wish that you would send me one of your dictionaries the next time Rudo sends me anything. Do you think that Frank could find employment with his uncle He is a careful & trusty clerk; his whole trend is to become a businessman he does not care for the professions. I think that Floyd will make a professional man he is just about lazy enough…</i></p><p><i>We have a large filtered cistern just adjoining the back porch and a double floored porch over it 12 x 14 ft. I have had a great quantity of water all summer enough for every purpose & for Mrs. McCann's use to as long as she lived there. The old Dr. died the last of July and she broke up housekeeping right away. She is going to New York about the first of Oct. to spend the winter with her daughter Addie a Bellevue nurse. Dr. Cullison has been on a 'tear' nearly all summer. He uses opium & drinks hard with it and every so often he goes 'stark staring mad.' Drunk I call it for that is what it is.</i></p><p><i>Mr. Blount's son Scott who left his wife & ran off with $200 of his firm's money has married again down in Tenn. His wife got a divorce…We all send love & kisses to you all…Lovingly Maud"</i></p><p><i>"170 St. Botolph St. Boston Mass.</i></p><p><i>My dear Sister & Brother</i></p><p><i>I received your welcomed letter at the hospital sometime ago and was so glad to hear from you personally although I hear indirectly thru Mamma about you & Jack and I am glad to hear that you are both well and seem to be so happy.</i></p><p><i>I am out of the hospital but unable to go to work at present but I will have to do something as soon as I can get hold of a line which is very hard right now and get to work or go on the street as I am only getting $5 a week from the Welfare and I can't eat and pay room rent on that so you see how I am situated so that's the reason.</i></p><p><i>I expect you will think I have one hell of a nerve but dear sister I am going to ask you to advance the money and pay this quarterly ins premium again for me which I shall absolutely refund you in six or eight weeks unless something drastic happens to me and unless this is paid at once I will hose it altogether which I do not want to unless absolutely have to. I know there is not much left of it but there is enough to bury me with should any thing happen and at present that is all I have left to do this job should I pass out.</i></p><p><i>I have borrowed on it now all that it is possible for me to borrow but as I say it will leave me enough for a half decent burial in case anything should happen. Hoping you will attend to his at once for me and I will surely repay you thanking you both and hoping this will find you both in best of health love & best wishes to you both your loving brother Frank"</i></p><p><i>"R.S. Bauer Company Lynn Massachusetts Stationers Engravers Printers August 17 1923</i></p><p><i><br /> Dear Sister:</i></p><p><i>I was very glad indeed to hear from you under date of August 10th and to know that your family were getting along so splendidly. The thing now for you to do is to show a little mercy to yourself. The children have all now received from you everything that a Mother could give and many things more than a Mother generally gives and it seems to me that what little time is allotted to you should be taken in as much comfort as possible. Both you and I are growing old this earth and with that in sight I think it is the duty of both of us to let up on ourselves and serve the rest of our time as easily as possible.</i></p><p><i>You know I am not much of a letter writer. I don't believe Fannie ever got six letters from me in the thirty years we have been married but that should not make any difference between us.</i></p><p><i>I do not know anything about the Neff family except that I suppose they are alive and well as they never visit us. The only time I ever see them is when I go over to Salem and force myself into their presence.</i></p><p><i>Huldah is not very well although she keeps happy and busy with her grandchildren. We expect her to spend Sunday after next with us at the little farm we own in Amesbury where we spend the summer time. It is a twenty-one-acre place on the border of a Lake. We have six acres in garden and raise almost everything the household needs up there including a little 'hell.'</i></p><p><i>It seems to me that Warren Harding died in order to tie the American people closer together and bring out the universal spirit of reverence for men who have served the Nation which spirit was rapidly disappearing in all directions. You probably know that all progress the World has ever made has been the result of some shock. It seems that people no matter how civilized or well educated or Christianized they may be respond always nobly to the 'gospel of the shock' and are not so early in responding to any other gospel.</i></p><p><i>Calvin Coolidge has visited us at our summer home with his wife and two children and I have a personal acquaintance with him. He will make a great President. There is no doubt about it as he has all the qualities of World Leadership without any of the personal magnetism or 'bull' that men in public life general possess. His heart and head are 100% all right and his capacity is marvelous.</i></p><p><i><br />With best wishes to you and the children from all of us Rudo"</i></p><p><i>"Frazeysburg Ohio Nov 4th 1923</i></p><p><i>Dear Mothers & Slats</i></p><p><i>You want to call in the neighbors doctors & friends as your son has a pen in his hand…</i></p><p><i>I have been busy this summer and fall lots of work. I have been away from home most of the summer started in the first of April and came home to stay two wks ago and have been gone five days of that time. I had to cut the gang that I have been working all summer back to fifteen men was working between 34 & 40. The oil business sure is on the bum here. I wish you would have them to strike dry holes out there as the Cal. oil can be sent to the eastern refineries for less money than the oil here. We have lots of work but are doing just what we can with the men we have…</i></p><p><i>Mother you were asking about the house & Keylor's. Kelyor's moved out the first of Oct. and I haven't any renter now. I have the house up for sale and I think mother that the way things are and the location that if you can get $600.00 out of your home you had better let it go and I will say if the house belonged to me that if I could get $500 I would sell because the house will have to be painted in the Spring & I am afraid it will have to be roofed. If you will leave it to me to make the deal and use my own judgement I may be able to sell. I told you what I would take if it were mine. If you think this not enough let me know. Houses are renting in Perrytown for $3.50 & $4.00 per month so you will have an idea what things are like over there. I don't know whether Agnes told you that I lowered the rent in Apr. for Kelyor I cut it back to $6.00 and that was about a $1.50 more than any other house was renting for and this is not hearsay but personal inquiry. Please consider these things and let me know where I stand…</i></p><p><i>How is the K.K.K. in Cal It is getting to be pretty strong around here. They held a big conclave at Zanesville last night I went down to get me some new harness and saw the parade…</i></p><p><i><br />I will close with lots of love…Carl Agnes & Kathleen…"</i></p><p><i>"Kansas City Mo. June 6 1927</i></p><p><i>Dear Mama & Evelyn:</i></p><p><i>I never have heard from you since you went to Russian River therefore I am wondering how your trip panned out.</i></p><p><i>I didn't write you the day I should because I did some very special work for two attorneys from Washington D.C. three & a half days last week & as it was rush work I was kept on the jump. They have a big case to try in Federal Court today & for two or three days so my work is thru. However in those 3 ½ days I made $25.00 but had to rent a typewriter to take home to do the work on so I got it for a month & it was $4.00 but yet that was pretty good pay I'll say and they were so pleased & appreciative of my work.</i></p><p><i>I do hope I get steady work soon but the weather is so bad – it is raining today again and these Missourians are sure afraid to start anything in the rain. Also the flood has caused a great depression in work. However we will persevere I guess and we will get settled someday…</i></p><p><i>Let us hear from you soon just a note…We both are fine. Jack's Colonel had to take an 18-day sick leave due to the accident he had three weeks ago so Jack is left alone with all the medical units to care for so I fear he is going to be very busy. Lots of love to you both Cecelia & Jack…"</i></p><p><i>"9 Sunnyside St. Jamaica Plain Oct 23 1931</i></p><p><i>Dear Grandma</i></p><p><i>We received your letter and was glad to hear from you. We are glad to hear that you have been able to take a vacation. Yes I am working in the same place and Frances is working for the Fire Underwriters. She works in the office. We are sorry that our father has had such bad luck but it seems that every time he goes to the Hospital that his women always leave him because he doesn't have any money to give them. If he had been living a good Christian life he wouldn't have all this trouble now.</i></p><p><i><br />Naturally we should be loyal to our Mother for all the care she gave us when my father was so mean to her. She brought us up to be what we are now and we should really be a credit to her. We are sorry to hear that Uncle Floyd is having a hard time with his business. It is terrible here in Boston. So many are out of work. Most of us are just lucky enough to keep our jobs. I hope that things will be easier for everybody soon. We are having such changeable weather lately. So many people have got colds. Well we hope you are in the best of health and wish the others the same with love and regards to the rest your granddaughters Dorothy & Frances."</i></p><p><i>"</i><i>Frazeysburg – O 4/10 1932</i></p><p><i>Dear Mother & All</i></p><p><i>…I have been very busy for the past three weeks and have quite a bit of work a head of me. How is business out there Things are getting worse here every day. I am still holding my job but don't know for how long. I have orders to cut off four of my men the 15th of April. The oil business in Ohio is shot for a long while cannot compete with the Western fields. I hope that Evelyn & Justin can still keep their positions. Tiebout has been working most of the time since the first of the year. So we have not seen or heard much of them. We have had sickness most of the winter. I started the ball rolling when I had the flu. I lost 4 days work the first time I have been off for six years of course I was paid but I hate to have my record broken…</i></p><p><i>Our company has been taking over some production that the Lenard Oil & Gas Co has had connected and has made a lot of extra work for me. I just finished a new gathering system & built a pumping station over back of Staddens Bridge. I am just starting a new gathering system u at Perryton my old home town on brother Joseph Chaney farm. So you see with having to entertain Joseph & look after my work I will be very busy. I hope that Floyd & Anna can come out of this slump with flying colors. Tell them just to take it easy and just make a living and be satisfied there isn't any use of them trying to build up a big fortune just for their kids to fight over. If they can't make anything they needn't to worry for they have lots of company. I have the same size pay check coming in every 2 wks and haven't saved anything for 2 yrs but greens are coming on now so I guess we will have something to eat.</i></p><p><i>…With lots of love from the whole family to Mother Slats & Justin Your scribbling son & all Carl Agnes Kathleen & Pee Wee"</i></p><p><i>"March 10 1933</i></p><p><i>My dear folks all:</i></p><p><i>I received your nice letter the other day and one hasn't much to write about or think of now except the national situation but somehow and someway I am sure that none of us will go hungry. Don't you worry about us back here and we are not going to worry about you folks but just rust in things coming back within a short time. Rome wasn't built in a day and the President has to have time to put into effect a new <u>deal </u>and a new policy. Now don't laugh for it is really a serious situation. But let's give him a chance to do right and perhaps if they make him a King or Mussolini or something he can do something and the Lord above knows that our Congress will never get us anywhere so give the President free reins and his chance to do something. I am for you Franklin if you make a go of it and will even vote for your reelection if you bring this country out of it but I fear he cannot stand the strain and will not be with us that many years longer.</i></p><p><i>Poor Jack is dumbfounded being a Southerner by birth and just having recently returned from the South where his folks sort of rechristened him a Democrat and made him believe that Roosevelt was our Savior etc. all this after I had Jack made a pretty good Republican for the past six years all my work wasted in vain after his Mother and Sisters etc. told him Roosevelt was great. He doesn't know what to think and of course cannot get to me to talk personally but just has to write his ideas etc. after the banks closed but he is trying to cheer me up and yet deep down in his heart he says that what I told him last summer would happen if Hoover was not re-elected if just about all coming true right the first ten days of the Democratic administration. However Jacks says he is a good sport and if Roosevelt saves the country and brings us out of this without suffering too much and makes things better I must become a Democrat but if Roosevelt fails and has to call on Republicans etc. to help him out of this crisis then Jack is never to speak to another Democrat ha!</i></p><p><i>Anyways folks here is what all of us connected with our organization have figured out. If you are paid 20% cash and rest checks do not spend on cent of the cash but hide it some safe place and pass every payroll check immediately on to the grocer baker candlestick maker etc. Don't hold a check a minute. Now Evelyn and Justin I am not sure whether our mortgage read that you had to pay gold tender or not but be most certain that you get a separate receipt for every cent you pay on your mortgage and hold on to those receipts. Don't let any ifs or ands get into the receipt either. Either they take your checks or they don't and get your receipt to these checks. If you get paid in small denomination checks buy so you may get back a little silver and then use another check for the next purchase etc. until you get every check out of your hands. Even buy your next winter coats underwear shoes new tires and everything possible that you can get them to take the checks that is payroll checks for and get yourself all fixed up. Buy all the groceries possible with such checks and store them away. Things in cans and that will keep. The theory is if worse comes to worse have some things on hand to eat and have those checks in some other fellows' hand and then your employer is responsible for the payroll checks or Roosevelt is or anyone but you.</i></p><p><i>Do the same way with the new money they issue and don't hold on to it but buy with it for all you can and pay on your mortgage with it if they will take it pay your insurance taxes etc. but do not hoard it for when the new money is finally called in unless a precedent is set it will be discounted and the ones holding it will get about 35 c on the dollar for all they have in their possession. However some new laws or other may off set these prophesies but pay for everything with those checks and save every cent of currency you get quarters halves etc. And don't keep from buying things you need because next year things will be so high you will not be able to buy them so fix up the car the house lay in grocers and get yourselves underwear coats suits dresses etc. to do for another year if you can possible do so with this new money you might be paid with.</i></p><p><i>However it usually takes all we make to live on as a rule but at that we are passing it on and will not be caught with it on hand. Mother has a hobby about holding onto checks and that is why I warned you about returning my little Kansas City checks immediately and not hold on to them for I was afraid this would be coming. I had no idea that Mother was holding onto any other checks or would have warned her also. We weren't the only ones; millions and millions are in the same boat and if only we all eat that is the main thing.</i></p><p><i>Now don't worry about us back here because we aren't going to worry about you. We know we all are pulling together and don't' knock the President for heaven's sake. That will ruin the country if we do and don't help him during this crisis now that it is on.</i></p><p><i>Do you all notice that Herbert Hoover is remaining in the East Wonder who is insisting that he remain there There is much hopes here that he is being asked by Wall Street or other financiers to remain near until this passes over and that is why he did not go on to California with Mrs. Hoover. He may have to save us yet.</i></p><p><i>All love to each of you and the best of luck Your devoted children Cecelia & Jack…"</i></p><p><i>"December 9 1933 321 West 29th Street New York City N.Y.</i></p><p><i>Dear Maud:</i></p><p><i>Isn't it about time I answered your letter of November sixteenth I think so – we were glad to hear from you and to receive your tin-type.

Family Archive.
Letters and Documents of the Butcher Family Recording some Family History.
<p>Small family archive of letters 10 pieces in all some folio size other basic letter sheet size over 20 pages of text some docketed on reverse. Most pages are aged and browned some chips and tears a few holes at center folds a little staining but otherwise about very good. This family archive begins with a letter dated June 14 1840 and provides a glimpse of life in still early America during the pioneer period. In the first letter which is. from near Danville Missouri daughter Emily Lee and Adam Lee to father Ely Butcher in Randolph Virginia asking for money. Emily complains about poor health but tells him to consider moving out there where good land could be had. Another letter dated September 24 1840 is from Rock Island County Illinois from John H. Butcher to his father Ely in Randolph Virginia. John Butcher a farmer tells his father he is in "tolerable good health" but talks about some hard times where he lives. He comments on the rivers being very low and it appears his shipping costs were double what they should be. He stays he finds times very hard in this country harder than expected and adds he couldn’t get $1000 for his home at that time. He even makes a comment about a split in government but that the Whigs may feel they won writing not totally clear on this comment. On January 2 1842 from Danville Missouri we see another letter from Emily Lee to her father Ely Butcher in Randolph Virginia. This letter has a sad tone as Emily complains she hasn’t gotten a letter from her father in almost two years despite writing to him a few times. She says she feels neglected by her father and brothers and times are very hard. She mentions store credit is not available and they lost a horse. According to Emily her in-laws are no help and she has eight children to take care of. She tells her father she will see him in the spring and she expects him to do something about her situation. Seems like Ely’s kids are often in need and asking dad for help. On August 20 1844 John Butcher In Rock Island Illinois to Ely Butcher in Beverly Randolph County Virginia appears to be visited by his sister and his brother-in-law and sister Adam Lee and Emily lee. The farm is doing well and he indicates that oat and corn prices are "tolerable" and he expects to produce 800 bushes of corn and wheat. It appears his sister wants a divorce and it also appears John asks his father to intercede with his uncle Peyton about the land he uses. He seems to be tired of being a renter. He asks his father to negotiate a deal and help him pay for it. He apologizes for the tone of the letter but sounds a little desperate. There are also what appears to be some detailed receipts for the goods of Ely Butcher the dates appear to be 1842 and 1843. In fourth receipt the date is unclear but could be as late as 1866. A final document is a marriage certificate for Hannah Hart Butcher and the date is November 22 1911.</p> books
