MARGARET C HULSEY
1857 PAIR 2 OF ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN DIARY AND MEMORY BOOKS RECOUNTING THE DEATHS AND LIVES OF MANY BELOVED FAMILY MEMBERS ALONG WITH DOZENS OF QUAKER HYMNS POEMS AND REMINISCENCES.
BALTIMORE MARYLAND MD. Good. 1857. On offer are two books from a Baltimore family in the mid 1800s professing a life of faith and determination in the wake of tragedy and loss. The two books are written by one Margaret Hulsey of Baltimore Maryland a seemingly deeply religious Quaker woman. The first book is very unique collection of hymns letters diary entries and first-hand accounts dealing with the deaths Ms. Hulseys family friends and loved ones. The book begins with a short passage that lays out what much of the book with deal with: death. The first link in the family circle was broken many years ago in the removal of a beloved child at the early age of two years. But as this occurred long before the recovery of the younger children they of course have no recollection of the bereavement - To the ____ parents there was much of consolation in the reflection that their little one was taken from the evil to come before sin had sullied the innocence of childhood. Died Nov. 30th. 1826. John Clapp - Jr. aged 1 year. 11 months. And 4 days. Following this are pages and pages of Christian hymns poems and descriptions of grief and bereavement in the face of death both of the young child mentioned and also of someone who was presumably Ms. Hulseys brother. This is an interesting and unique book as much of the diary entries are written in the 3rd-person as if the author is collecting these stories of grief as a family history An unspeakably heavier bereavement was in store for them in the death of their eldest son at the age of 32 years. Gentle and affectionate in childhood he had endeared himself to the family circle in no common manner and as he grew up to mans estate his strongly masked character cultivated mind and clear judgement gave promise of a bright career of usefulness. During the last few years of his life particularly the all pervading influence of Christian principle was most strikingly displayed. When his bright prospect in life were clouded he weakly bowed to the dispensation and received it as a token of his Heavenly Fathers love.Died in New York on the morning of the 11th of 12th month 1848. Family H. Clapp aged 32 years. 1 month and 3 days. The book is filled with long descriptions of family members friends and loved ones who met their deaths too early. About six months after our dear brothers death my warmest sympathies were weakened by the decline and removal of a beloved young friend and connection in Philadelphia - We had spent several weeks together the preceding summer in a little town.and I had learned to love and advise her gentle Christian character - The following letter speaking of her illness was from the pen of a sister. Many of the entries in the book are like this one letters collected by Ms. Hulsey and then faithfully copied down in this book as a remembrance of someone loved who has passed. Alongside the letter are hymns and poems of a Christian nature and quotations and aphorisms taken from The Friends Review that speak to the nature of death and the overcoming of grief through Christian love. The same format is used for the deaths of Margaret Hulseys brother friends and longest of all her mother. Near the end of the book there are also letters that had been sent specifically to Ms. Hulsey that are copied down well-wishes and condolences from friends on the event of her mothers death. This book has roughly 200 pages of which almost everyone has writing. Margaret Hulseys handwriting is neat and very legible and no smudging is evident. The first few gatherings of the book are detached from the spine but the whole thing is sewn together so the pages are not loose. Quarter leather spine with a marbled cover page. The second book is Some extracts from the letters and diary of our beloved mother and is also written in the hand of Margaret Hulsey. Beginning in September 1848 and continuing until her death in 1857 the book contains copies of letters sent from to family members especially Margaret as well as entries from her personal diary some short and others extending many pages. The thread throughout the diary entries is the love of Jesus and her worship of him through the Quaker church. Baltimore - 3rd mo. - First day - attended mtg. After sitting a short time in silence. L. M. Hoag appeared in present supplication - He soon of towards ___ with the words. Ye are lively stones built up a spiritual house carrying out the figure by applying it to stones in the quarry which must first be taken out then hammered and brought into the proper shape afterwards smoothed and polished - He was continuing the application when the mtg. Was disturbed by the sudden indisposition of H. Baldesion. In about ten minutes he resumed his discourse without any apparent confusion and embarrassment and preached an excellent sermon. About a quarter of the book are entries from 1848-1850 and then the rest of the book is from March 1857 the beginning of the decline and death of Margarets mother. The first entry in 1857 concerns Margarets mother and fathers decision to leave America for England. Their trip to England is interesting with Margarets mother ruminating on her life on the sea the friends she has left behind and the future ahead for her. Rested very well - It seems as if the motion of the boat reduces drowsiness at least this has been the effect on me - We spend much time on deck wishing to cherish all the advantages possible from the sea air. And we go up on the principle of eating at every meal even if we feel but little appetite. We passed a steamer last night supposed to be the Arctic. It gives a social gladsome feeling to pass a ship at sea. We have already seen two sails but they were distant we were unable to learn where they were from or whither bound. When they arrive in London there are many passages of their new life there attending new Quaker Friends Meetings and making new friendships as well as trips to other cities to spread the word of Jesus. After 3 months they return Just 3 months since we left the shores of America - It seems a brief space now that it is past - Soon went on deck - all things were put in ample order - the floor was scrubbed the brasser cleaned the sun was shining brightly - the broad experience of ocean before us with scarcely a ripple on the surface while our noble ship was ploughing through the waters with majestic steadiness. Soon the diary entries end and Hulseys point of view takes over again: Our dear Mother felt the heat of the water excruciatingly.soon after she accompanied Father to Phila. And Baltimore to visit their children - It was unspeakable pleasure to her to meet them again.She accordingly accompanied the family to Cape May.At the end of ten days she had a strange and alarming attack of dysentery. It yielded to medicine however but a relapse a week later placed her in a very critical situation.On First day Dr. Chesterman was called - he fully agreed with Dr. Rabson and discovered a new feature in the disease which had now assumed the character of bilious diarrhea. The mother continues to be sick and weakens to a terrible extent. Margaret Hulseys description of her mother is heartbreaking and she goes into long details of the last night of her mothers death and her eventual passing away: The breath grew shorter and shorter and the quietly passed away without a struggle - at the same hour of the day as that beloved son who had only preceded her by about three years. The last few pages of the book are transcripts and copies of remarks made at her mothers funeral and an obituary of her mother in the Friends Review. The book is roughly 170 pages in length of which 150 or so have writing. It looks almost identical to the first book both of them having a small sticker on the front inside cover that reads Sold at Raynors Bookstore 76 Bowery NY. No pages have detached from the spine.

MARGARET C WEBSTER
1876 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN JOURNAL AND NOTEBOOK OF A BRIGHT YOUNG WOMAN BEING EDUCATED AT THE ABBOT ACADEMY ONE OF THE VERY FIRST SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES
ABBOT ACADEMY ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1876. On offer is the 1876 original handwritten journal and notebook of Margaret C. Webster a student at the Abbot Academy notable as one of the first secondary schools for educating young women in New England. This is an exceptional document of early womens education in America. It details the things women were learning how they learned them and a bit into the personal life of one of the few women being educated in the country. The book seems to have served two purposes for Ms. Webster. First the majority of the book is a school composition/notebook. Secondly at the end of the book there is a diary for writing down personal experiences. Margaret seems to have been born in 1858 making her around 18 at the time of this journal. The majority of the Margaret C. Webster book is devoted to school related work 65 pages. This includes: Poetry Margaret has written in her journal poems by Thackeray Proctor Homer and some quotations by Tennyson. There is also the poem Annie and Willies Prayer by Sophia Snow which is a Christmas poem similar to the The Night Before Christmas.; Original essays There is an essay by Margaret titled World Without Imagination.; Botany notes which include a list of 100 plants and flowers with their common name as well as their genus and specie; Notes/Discussions/Compositions on Famous Personages and Subjects These include Tennyson Wordsworth Aristotle Byron Pope Chaucer and more; A Student Study Schedule This contains Margarets schedule of morning study work for 1876 and 1877. There are a number of schedules written down here for nine different days in three different terms Fall Winter and Spring. Example: Jan. 13 1877. From 8:30 - 9:30am: Went to prayer meeting at Chapel. 9:30 - 10:30: Studied Shakespeare. 10:30 - 11:15: Studied Botany. 11:30 - 12:00pm: Studied and did various things. From 5:15 - 6pm: Studied Shakespeare. 7:30 - 8: Studied Shakespeare. 8:30 - 9: Gymnastics. Finally there is also a 10-page section within the notebook which is not related to school but is a more personal diary. It contains two separate entries. And it is somewhat of an anomaly. It appears that the first entry of 6 pages is done by a person other than Margaret - perhaps a relative. The woman writing this section states that she is around forty years old and reports that she has just found her old diary in the attic. She proceeds to write in this journal some of the more important entries from her original diary. Thus she is copying them into this Margarets notebook probably around the same time frame that Margaret used it 1870-1880. Sample entries: "Journal you this day May 1 1850 my 16th birthday have been presented to me by my father as a present. If you prove a pleasure and comfort as he says you will I will patronize your pages now unsullied. But if you prove a bother as I think you will you will at quick notice be dispatched to Hades.; Aug 28 1850 Journal in spite of my resolution I believe I am going to like you. Something tells me that if all other friends desert me you will be true to the last
I am to enter upon a very important period of my life. I am going away to school to Abbot Academy. I want to go because I am sick of staying at home. I am curious to see the girls there. I have about made up my mind not to like them. The remaining entries reveal that the young girl attends the academy and greatly enjoys the experience making many new friends. In her last entry dated July 28 1854 she reports that she is graduating that day and is excited about her achievement - but sad that she is leaving friends. It is possible that this section was provided by a relative who may have also attended Abbot Academy. And perhaps the relative wanted to show Margaret that the school would be a pleasant and worthwhile experience. The author of the last four pages of this section is most probably Margaret considering the similar handwriting. The entry is titled My Walk and describes a walk she took into Andover Massachusetts where she lives. During her walk she strolls by a Captain Perrys house and past the Old South Church. She also comes across Parson Watkins who is on horseback and after a greeting she returns home. As she nears her house a driverless carriage races by with the two lady occupants so absorbed in conversation that they fail to take notice of the danger they are in. Running behind them is the driver who eventually gets the carriage back under control. The notebook is 7 by 8 in size. It has worn green boards with a floral design and a bit of discoloration at points. It has a red leather spine with wear at head and foot. Pages are lightly toned but clean and the writing is neat and easily legible. The binding is tight and the ink is slightly faded but very readable. The book has approximately 75 handwritten pages of which all but a few have writing in them. Background: Abbot Academy also known as Abbot Female Seminary and AA was an independent boarding preparatory school for women boarding and day students in grades 912 from 1828 to 1973. Located in Andover Massachusetts Abbot Academy was notable as one of the first incorporated secondary schools for educating young women in New England. It merged with Phillips Academy in 1973 and campus buildings along School Street continue to be used for the combined school. In 1859 the "strong-willed" but "ideologically moderate" McKeen sisters headmistress Philena and Phebeexerted strong leadership by adopting a "school-home" approach. The years were marked by substantial expansion of buildings.The McKeens fostered the study of French and German and introduced a "systematic oral language program" on a par with that of Harvard University.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF MARGARET C.

MARGARET ELLIOTT
1925 UNIQUE DEEPLY PERSONAL ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN DIARY OF A YOUNG LIBERATED WOMAN IN UNIVERSITY LIVING AN EXCITING SOCIAL LIFE DATING SEVERAL MEN AND EMBODYING THE QUINTESSENTIAL FLAPPER IDEAL
PURDUE UNIVERSITY LAFAYETTE INDIANA IN. Good. 1925. On offer is an exceptional diary of the personal life of a young woman in the mid 1920s who perfectly embodies the Aesthetic and ideas of the Flapper. The diary is extremely personal in nature and showcases an amazing view into the life of a woman on the vanguard of a new generation of women. The diary provides fascinating insight into the mind of a young women during the 1920s Gilded Age. As can be seen throughout the diary she definitely embodies the liberated woman ideal of the time: attending University dating several men at a time hinting at casual sexual encounters and maintaining a strong individualistic streak throughout. The diary is packed with details about her ever changing and active love life. The diary belonged to Margaret Elliott a sophomore at Purdue University circa 1925. There are many entries dealing with Sorority life as she was a member of Alpha Chi Omega and briefer entries about her studies. Nevertheless the majority of the diary concerns her relationships with men and almost every page has some discussion of her thoughts about dating the personalities of boyfriends how she met them what shows they have attendedand in cases hint at sexual encounters There are also very personal entries dealing with periods of depression and times where she questions her own inability to be with just one partner and her constantly changing state of mind when it comes to her many suitors. Elliott is in so many relationships throughout the diary that it can be hard to keep track of all the names. This is an intensely personal diary of a very active young woman who represents a very new and exciting period in American history as well as womens history in general. The diary is a fascinating read. In all it contains 368 handwritten pages. Her handwriting is very easy to read usually done in either blue ink and occasionally pencil and can be quite dense as she often takes up the entire page with her thoughts and observations. Most entries also have a small quote at the top of the page. These quotes also show an important part of Elliotts intellectual life as many of them are from prominent feminist writers and thinkers of the time such as Sarah Grand and Margaret Widdemer as well as poets such as Tennyson Kipling and others. The last three pages also contain a number of quotes and passages and poems mostly dealing with love and womanhood. Some of the quotes also show distinct feminist thought such as: Man may redeem the past but woman never can Does a woman ever marry the man who is kindest to her It is unrecorded if this has ever happened and There is no such thing as justice in the world! This is one of the most personal diaries listed here. Its definitely the type of diary that encourages the reader to turn the page and read on. The book is in good shape. The front cover and portions of the spine show a good bit of wear and tear from use and age. There are also two bits of tape on the diary that Elliott used to close off the diary from other people. It is evident Elliott thought this diary to be absolutely personal. The front cover reads Personal. Hands off! Eyes off! Samples of Entries: Jan 181925. Slept until 12 o'clock Dreamed I was at home. Got up and ate dinner. Dot called up. She is a good old scout. Pinkie was not at the dance last nite but sang a serenade outside while Tex was here Oh My ! I suppose he was drunk!

There is something wrong with me this week I feel entirely different towards Nat. His letters dont even interest me Oh diary am I wicked or so terribly different from other girls in that I cant like one man alone It seems there must be two before Im happy.When I get a letter from Nat I am looking for one from Tex. I almost get mad at Nat. I have been writing him short letters because I cant think of a thing to say. Historical Notes: This was the age of the Flapper. Flappers were a generation of young Western women in the 1920s who wore short skirts bobbed their hair listened to jazz and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior. Flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup drinking treating sex in a casual manner smoking driving automobiles and otherwise flouting social and sexual norms. Flappers had their origins in the liberal period of the Roaring Twenties the social political turbulence and increased transatlantic cultural exchange that followed the end of World War I as well as the export of American jazz culture to Europe. The flapper stands as one of the most enduring images of youth and new women in the twentieth century and is viewed by Americans as something of a cultural heroine nowadays. However back in the 1920s many Americans regarded flappers as threatening to conventional society representing a new moral order. Although most of them were the daughters of the middle class they flouted middle-class values. They shrugged off their chaperones danced suggestively and openly flirted with boys.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF MARGARET ELLIOTT PURDUE UNIVERSITY INDIANA FLAPPER NEW WOMAN FEMINISM 1920s WOMANHOOD FLOUTING SOCIAL NORMS ROARING TWENTIES GILDED AGE NEW ROLE OF WOMEN NEW BEHAVIOR FEMININE MYSTIQUE FEMININE SEXUALITY SORORITY LIFE ALPHA CHI OMEGA WOMENS STUDIES CASUAL SEX AMERICA IN THE 1920s POST WORLD WAR 1 ERA INTERWAR PERIOD IMAGES OF YOUTH WOMEN DATING FREELy LIBERATED WOMAN AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO DANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

Varying small holesinterfere with some minimal content from Jan 31 1911 through the end of the diary. Pages 61-69 are impacted most with approximately 6 words on each page being unreadable. Context is not impacted. Please request photos from seller if this is of concern. The diary contains 72 pages and is 100% complete. Side note: on one page in the 1910 diary it seems a previous owner of the diary was using it for genealogy research as they have underlined some names in blue pen and noted some dates in blue pen above Margarets writing. This does not interfere with content. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author . paperback

The Hardie's contribution to Korea was noted in the book 'The Role of Robert Alexander Hardie in the Korean Great Revival and the Subsequent Development of Korean Protestant Christianity' by Chil-Sung Kim. Uniquely this travel diary dated December 23 1925 to June 11 1926 concerns the Hardie's 4 month furlough trip back to the USA from Korea via the western route through the Middle East and Europe and then some time in the USA. The wonderment of diaries written by the wives of important men is that the diary is in fact about Robert as much as Margaret. Historians and researchers of Christian outreach in Korea will find this book a dual treasure: an East to West travel diary and six weeks of the Hardie's work in the USA. In fact no sooner do they return than they meet at the Korea Club and after a brief rest Robert heads for Memphis on ministry work. The opening entry begins "We left Seoul on Dec. 23rd. A large crowd was at the station to see us off." The diary goes on to relate the Hardie's voyage to Hiroshima Japan and the train ride to Kobe where they board the SS Macedonia bound for Shanghai China. From there it's on to Singapore the Bay of Bengal Colombo in Ceylon Sri Lanka Aden the coast of Africa and the Red Sea the Suez Canal Port Said Egypt Jerusalem and Bethlehem in the Holy Land present-day Israel Athens Greece Naples Rome Pisa Florence Italy Paris France London England Edinburgh and Glasgow Scotland Belfast and Dublin Ireland and then back to London for the Atlantic Ocean crossing to New York where they arrive on April 28 1926 after a journey of just over four months. The remainder of the diary concerns the Hardies' travels and doings in the USA. The 6.25" x 4" diary book itself is of Japanese manufacture and comes in a slip sleeve.

MARGARET RUTH POMEROY HAMLIN
1903 - 1904 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TWO-YEAR DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A NOTED SMITH COLLEGE GRADUATE AND UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS FACULTY MEMBER WHO WILL ONE DAY BE HONORED WITH A BUILDING BUILT IN HER NAME
NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1903. On offer is an interesting original 1903 - 1904 manuscript diary handwritten by Margaret Ruth Pomeroy Hamlin a student at Smith College in Northampton MA and later an Agricultural Counsellor for Women in Stockbridge from 1918-1934 and the first Placement Officer for Women from 1934-1948. She was originally accepted to the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1914. Her success and renown are evident by the honor bestowed her having The Margaret Hamlin House also known as Hamlin Hall a dormitory in Amherst MA named for her. It is part of the Northeast Residential Area at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The building is designed in the Georgian architecture style and is covered with brick. One online source provides: "The new two-year course included six months of on-the-job field training. To supervise the work of the men and women engaged in this training two staff members were required. On January 1 19I8 Miss Margaret P. Hamlin a Smith College graduate who had in Amherst developed a hobby of farming was appointed as one of these members with the title of "agricultural counsellor for women." Miss Hamlin developed this position until it encompassed the full activities of a Women's Placement Office. For thirty years she performed her duties most successfully. She took a great many trips some under arduous conditions to locate and evaluate positions in which students might be placed. In an area extending from Germantown Pennsylvania to Northern New Hampshire and Maine she found jobs for women in greenhouses and flower shops vegetable gardens and dairy farms. One of the most interesting examples of this placement work involved a large dairy farm on an estate near New York City which was run by two women one a professor of geology at Columbia University Ida Helen Ogilvie; see: Bedford Camp the first Woman's Land Army unit in USA . On this farm Miss Hamlin placed a number of young women who had studied animal husbandry at M.A.C. Two of these students later became farm managers on the estate." The 5 x 7¾ inches book has about 180 pages of which about 133 have entries. The spine is somewhat worn rubbed creased. Hinges cracked. Internally very good/near fine; clean and tight.

I said it must be a Zeppelin." "We saw great lights ascending and descending. I jumped out of bed." "Then came a crash - a teaming grinding thud - another another the last being the loudest followed by the sound of falling bricks and glass it sounded though it was only next door." "Then we heard the whirr of the engines - terribly loud indeed." "Took pier tickets. Pier given over to Navy - they occupied the whole pavilion - some sailors always on guard at entrance.

Margaret Shepherd Hutton Kemp
1910-1924 Diaries of the Wife of a Lanman & Kemp Druggist Living an Upper Class Life in NYC As a Manhattan Kemp
Manhattan New York Nyc New York City Europe Abroad England Spain. Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer are two diaries of a highly affluent American woman who was involved in the operations of Lanman & Kemp the high profile Manhattan drug company. The diaries were kept by Margaret Shepherd Hutton Kemp 1863-1944. Margaret married George William Kemp 1860-1912 in 1889. They had one daughter Margaret Peggy 1890-1940. The Kemps were Irish immigrants to New York and quickly became a highly affluent family. They were the Kemps of the Lanman & Kemp drug dynasty which is currently best known for selling Florida Water. CONTACT BUYER FOR FULL BIO NOTES ON THE KEMPS AND OUR DIARIST. WORD LIMITS ON THIS SITE. Importantly our diarist Margaret was involved in the family business running Lanman & Kemp as indicated by legal records in which she is a defendant on behalf of the company. The diaries themselves are both 5-year diaries that cover the years 1910-1914 and 1920-1924. The first was begun when Margaret was 47 years old. She writes almost every single day and her life is luxurious to say the least. For example In April of 1911 she writes daily of her extended trip to Europe visiting places in Spain such as Madrid and the Alhambra Palace France and England with her husband and daughter. She travels by ship to Europe again in the spring of 1913. The rest of the time the focus is on her daily life in NYC. While each entry is only a couple of lines she is very honest with her diary and one comes to know her. Some excerpts: .In afternoon Peggy Bidy and I walked to Bloomingdales and back
I went to late concert Apr 18 1910. "Wednesday Fine out for last time in little car. Went to Dr. Cragins. Peggy went to Biddy at Passaic" June 15 1910.
Damp. Report that Titanic had sunk Monday at 2: 20 AM
Apr 16 1912. Friday. Fine. Cold. Went to Miss Richards Met KOR. Home with George all aft. He very weak. Dr. Thomas here. Peggy at Ritz dance Dec 20 1912. Heavy rain. Geo died at ten minutes of one. Saw lots of people Dec 24 1912. Monday. Heavy rain all day. Fixing Georges room. Depressed

Down shopping lunched with Jim and Peggy. Ed here in aft Dec 22 1914. By the time Margaret begins her second diary in 1920 she is married to Edward Charles Mears Kemp. Peggy is still unmarried she marries later in 1928 at age 37. She references her affluent lifestyle including shopping at Harrods in London June 1 1921 ordering evening coat and day coat Aug 30 1921 and Tea at the Ritz Oct 16 1924 Excerpts from the second diary follow: Fine. Warmer. Peggy and Ed playing golf. I walked out but missed them. Sey took me for a drive. Ed rode. Merries at night Oct 15 1921. Monday. Rain. Ed went to meet Mrs. Ward. I down at League Lecture.

Dine out with Peggy in morning. Home reading. Van Braam here at sea. Heard chimes. May fired Dec 31 1924. This diary is a fantastic look inside a highly successful Manhattan family giving readers a sense of the lifestyle enjoyed by a Kemp wife in middle age and painting a stark contrast to the lifestyle of those of lesser means in New York at the time. Both diaries have substantial notes including names and addresses of those in Margarets life as well as financial documentation. The diaries both measure 5.75 x 4.5 inches. Both of their spines are coming loose but they are otherwise in good condition. Both are 90% complete. Overall Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author . hardcover

Margie K Nelson Keller
1928-1930 Diaries of the Dedicated Mother and Wife of a Shoe Trimmer Making the Most of Life in Pennsylvania During the Great Depression
Lititz Pennsylvania. Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer are three diaries following three consecutive years in the life of young Pennsylvania wife and mother Margie K. Nelson Keller 1896-1987. Born in Lancaster County Margie married William Grumbine Keller 1894-1962 in 1917. William worked in a shoe factory as a trimmer. Together they had two boys and a girl. Margie lovingly recorded all three of their full names and birthdates in the back of her 1929 diary. Keller spent her entire life in Lancaster county living mostly in Lititz. Kellers diaries paint a very clear picture of domestic life at that time. Written while she was in her 30s her life is consumed with looking after her husband Bill and her young children. When she begins her diaries her boys Alfred and Arthur are approximately nine and seven when she begins her diaries. In 1929 she gives birth to her daughter Annette. The following excerpts will give a flavour of these lovely diaries: I started to wash this morning then my wash machine broke. I did not finish til in the afternoon. It was nice so it dried better than I expected. Bill came home early he had something in his eye that hurt too bad Mar 19 1928. I worked all morning. The boys did not go along with Bill today they go to bible school every day. It is just in the morning from 8 to 11 oclock. Mother gave us a chicken yesterday so this evening we killed it. Am having chicken corn pie tomorrow June 15 1928. Think of it a baby girl came to our place. Our baby was born about two oclock Monday morning Apr 22 1929. I was busy all day cleaning and baked this morning. I dont know what I would do without Arthur to help me July 12 1929. I did my weeks cleaning upstairs. In the afternoon I mended and made apple jelly. Its very cold a sudden change thats why we mind it so Sept 19 1929. I made my pineapple jam this morning and done some mending and made 2 baby dresses over for the baby. We called on Grampa Keller and at Fredericks this evening June 11 1930. They had Rally Day at Sun School this after. We all went I could not stay in the whole time on account of Annette. The church was crowded. They had a special choir. We were home the rest of the day Oct 19 1930. I ironed til dinnertime. It rained a little today. I mended this afternoon. This evening I went to the hotel and voted the strait Republican ticket Nov 4 1930. Thanksgiving Day. Grandpa Kellers and Grandpa Nelsons were here for dinner. We had two roasted ducks filling potatoes after vegetables cranberry sauce 2 kinds of pie 2 kinds cake and ice cream Nov 27 1930. These simple diaries paint a fine picture of the day-to-day life life of a young working class mother in small town Pennsylvania. If times are hard she really doesnt mention it. Instead what the reader sees is the slow rhythm of life as she looks after her family. She keeps a detailed record of daily and weekly expenses which give a picture of costs to support her family which only offers more insight into how a working-class family in the 20s made a go of it. ABOUT LITITZ PA: Lititz was first settled in 1756 by members of the Moravian Church one of the oldest Protestant denominations in the world. For the first century only members of the Moravian Church we allowed to live in the community. Even when residence was opened to others only Moravians were allowed to own property. Situated in the heart of the Amish Pennsylvania Dutchland Lititz is home to Linden Hall School the oldest all-girls boarding school in the United States and to the first commercial pretzel bakery.; Manuscripts; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; Signed by Author . hardcover

From the dust jacket: "Known for her outstanding performances on the groundbreaking television series THE GOOD WIFE and ER Julianna Margulies deftly chronicles her life and her work in this deeply powerful memoir. As an apple-cheeked bubbly child Julianna was bestowed with the family nickname 'Sunshine Girl.' Shuttled back and forth between her divorced parents often on different continents she quickly learned how to be of value to her eccentric mother and her absent father. Raised in fairly unconventional ways in various homes in Paris England New York and New Hampshire Julianna found that her role among the surrounding turmoil and uncertainty was to comfort those around her seeking organization among the disorder making her way in the world as a young adult and eventually an award-winning actress. Throughout there were complicated relationships difficult choices and overwhelming rejections. But there were also the moments where fate faith and talent aligned leading to the unforgettable roles of a lifetime both professionally and personally -- moments when chaos had finally turned to calm. Filled with intimate stories and revelatory moments Sunshine Girl is at once unflinchingly honest and perceptive. It is a riveting self-portrait of a woman whose resilience in the face of turmoil will leave readers intrigued and inspired."

MARIA A TUTTLE
1856 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG WOMAN MATURING GROWING AND FACING THE ALL-TOO-COMMON DIFFICULTIES OF YOUTH: MEAN BOYS HURTFUL GOSSIP AND DIFFICULT FAMILY
LAKE CAZENOVIA CAZENOVIA NEW YORK NY. Good. 1856. On offer is an 1856 handwritten diary originally belonging to an 18 year old girl Maria A. Tuttle of Cazenovia near Syracuse New York The diary is a fascinating look into the life of a young girl as she matures and grows into herself and as she endures the kind of bullying and difficulties faced by so many young people still. Young Maria is plagued by boys calling her ugly and she mentions it many times throughout the diary. Other than that Maria attends church faithfully goes dancing with friends receives the occasional gentleman caller sews and darns clothing and spends much time around the Lake where she and her family live most probably Cazenovia Lake. There is a full handwritten entry for 280 out of the 365 days in 1856. At the time of the diary Maria is 18 years old. She would die only 8 years later at the young age of 26 and only two years into her marriage to a man named Edward Lowrie. After the daily entries end there is very interesting letter written. The background for the letter is unknown and it is addressed to a Brother and Sister Blackman who are only discussed briefly in the diary. On May 1st a day before the letter was written Maria writes that she gave them a piece of my mind. The diary does not say what offense the Blackmans gave the Tuttles but in the letter it appears they attempted to slander the Tuttles and censuring us beyond all reason. The letter is copied at the bottom of this listing. Many many names are mentioned of the folks in the area some of which are: Maria Lefft Will Colwell Elder Howlett Edwin Hewes Nell Raleigh Mate Hunt Elder Tukes Henry Stannard Willis Mitchell Martha Morse Phillips Charlie Jackson Elinore Matie Cook McConnell Brown Reynolds Levi Tillosten Lovejoy Britton Whiting Truax Dr. Mitchell James Beckwith Jane White and more. The front cover and part of the spine has a notable spot on it from water damage and this stain carries on through the pages until about the end of April but it does not affect any of the writing. The binding is still in good condition. The pages within show little signs of wear or discoloration. Maria wrote the diary in a combination of black pen and pencil. Both have faded at parts but the writing is legible and readable throughout. The diary measures about 3 x 5. Text: January 1st 1856. In the forenoon I assisted in arranging the store for the festival. I went to store about two oclock afternoon. Maria Lefft and myself attended to the grab bag. Had lots of fun. Coz Henry went to the Hall with me staid till 12. I saw Will Colwell had a long chat. Father mother and Carrie came to meeting in the evening.; January 18th Prof. Hyde lectured at the free church.

She was not there she was in Pitson. We went to the flats stopped to Weavers to dance had a very good time
.I went to meeting to Universalist in the evening. McConnell came home with me. Adda had come from home in a few minutes H. D. Brown came and apologized for going home with Hellen Gilson. We all went serenading then the boys staid all the evening.; Friday March 7th I met Mr. Howry D. Brown at the Cazenovia House at 7 oclock in the evening. He had been in Mr. Bannistors office and had a talk with him in relation to our going to Nelson Flats. We had a long talk about it. We bid farewell no more to meet on this earth.; April 27th Father mother Philemon and Hannah went to Caz. to meeting. I was so sick while they were gone I sent for Mrs. Colwell. She came up and give me some spearmint tea then I felt better. Louisa Colwell came to sea ma a little while towards night.; May 16th Father and Philemon went to Caz.

William Colwell here in the evening. Played checkers. Had a glorious time. I thinkin he said I was hateful. He said I was afraid he would tell the reason why I would not tell him something.; May 2nd 1856. To Brother and Sister Blackman. After long meditation and much consideration I can no longer do injustice to my own inclinations and such ingratitude to the high station you possess in the nation to extend my extreme thanks to you for your pains in reporting us. I do sincerely hope that you enjoy the happiness of a clear conscience. I will venture to say you will be richly rewarded for your trouble in going to different persons with skins of slander that never were twisted. Besides censuring us beyond all reason doubtless you are aware what persons I refer to. I dare say if we were Methodists then we should be considered perfect then of course it would be right but as we are not we do not prefer to be perfect. I thank fortune that I do not belong to the number however I do not consider your tongue any slander whatever you have my best wishes for your future welfare. May you prove an honor in whatever society you move and in whatever situation you are placed. May you go on faithful always doing your duty and continually live so that your daily walks will show that you possess what you profess. I suppose Mrs. P. feels as much relieved of her anxieties after having her patience but to such an extent and her house so disgraced as she terms it. I should think it would make her sick poor woman. I am afraid she will not survive. I fear her situation is very alarming however she has my most tender sympathy. I close hoping you will al prosper and much happiness will be your lot. And when time with you shall be no more may you tread the heavenly shore and reign in constant bliss. Maria A. Tuttle.
