Morse family. Morse family papers, 1779-1868 (inclusive).

Title: Morse family papers, 1779-1868 (inclusive).

The principal figures in this collection are Jedidiah Morse (1761-1826) and his sons Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872) and Richard Cary Morse (1795-1868). More than half of the collection is made up of correspondence (1779-1868) among members of the family. Also included are legal and financial papers, sermons by Jedidiah and Richard Cary Morse, travel journals, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, printed matter, and photographs. Jedidiah Morse's missionary work among the Indians and his concern for their condition is reflected in a number of letters on the subject. Samuel F. B. Morse, who had a double career as a painter and as the inventor of the telegraph, is represented by correspondence, depositions on his invention, and three drawings by a student (dated 1862). Richard Cary Morse's papers contain a biography of Jedidiah Morse and extensive journals on travels to the Bay of Fundy in 1822; to Europe in 1837-1838 in search of a cure for his depression; and again to Europe in 1855. One of the entries in his journal of 1837-1838 is his account of the coronation procession of Queen Victoria. Correspondence with his wife, Sarah Louise, between 1838 and 1850 conveys a vivid picture of family life and many details on the sickness of children.

Adams, Hannah, 1755-1831. Papers, 1775-1817, bulk: 1804-1813.

Title: Papers, 1775-1817, bulk: 1804-1813.

Shaw, lawyer and librarian at the Boston Athenaeum; James Savage; historian and geographer Rev. Jedidiah Morse; and his associate Rev. Elijah Parish. Adams was involved in a long dispute with Morse over the competing publication of their histories of New England. Most of the letters relate to this dispute. Some are apparently contemporary handwritten copies. The memoir may be a draft of Adams' A Memoir of Miss Hannah Adams (1832).

Adams, Hannah, 1755-1831. Poetry collection.

Title: Poetry collection.

One of the miscellaneous poems in the oversize folder was written in 1681 by Daniel Gookin, Jr. (1650-1717/18) and titled "Upon the Death of the reverend ... Urian Oakes" (c. 1631-1681), president of Harvard College. There are also photostatic copies of two poems found in a copy of The Powring out of the Seven Vials ... (London, 1642) by John Cotton (1585-1642). The poetry is of a religious nature and may have been written by William Robie ( - ) in 1670. The collection contains a bound volume of a collection of poems of Elizabeth Paine Trumbull (1766-1832), the youngest daughter of Timothy Paine (1730-1793) and Sarah Chandler Paine (1726-1811), of Worcester, Mass. This collection was copied by her grandson, George Clap Trumbull (1818-1885), in 1834 and he writes at the beginning of the volume that the poems were composed by her when she was sixteen and were published in the Massachusetts Spy. Contrary to his statement, the contents of the poems indicated that they were written over a span of years--some must have been written before her marriage at age twenty and others appear to have been written shortly before her death. There are references in one poem to "Negroes in arms" that appears to be an allusion to Nat Turner. The same poem includes references to events in Belgium and Poland. One poem was written to her brother, Samuel Paine (1754-1807), and others mention members of the Perkins family. References in her poetry indicate that she was well-educated and interested in contemporary events. The poetry in this volume was at one time erroneously attributed to Louisa Clap Trumbull (1798-1885). There is also a bound volume of a collection of poetry of Hannah Adams (1755-1831), who is considered to be the first professional female writer in America. The poems were written on a variety of subjects; some were addressed to particular people. Four of the poems were written specifically "On the death of ..." individuals: Heman Harris (1750-1782); Mrs. Fisher; Mrs. Abigal Prentice; and Betsey Adams (1753-1789), Hannah's sister. A number of the poems are dated and fall within the period 1778 to 1789. The remaining volumes are unidentified and some are undated. One volume, however, begins with "Lines on the deceased Mrs Lydia Mason , consort of the Rev. Thomas Mason, Northfield". Lydia Kendall Mason (1777-1803) was the first wife of Rev. Thomas Mason (1769-1851), who graduated from Harvard in 1796 and was minister in Northfield, Mass., from 1799 to 1828. The volume also contains acrostics for Thomas Mason; James Kendall (1769-1859), brother of the above-mentioned Lydia; and Lucy Tuttle Fox (1776-1814). This collection consists of two folders (one oversize) and seven volumes of miscellaneous poetry, mostly anonymous and undated, on a variety of subjects including childhood, death, freemasonry, politics, religion, and temperance/anti-temperance. Many of the poems are untitled; a few have been published.
