Hawthorne family. Hawthorne family papers, 1825-1929.

Title: Hawthorne family papers, 1825-1929.

The papers afford glimpses into the social and private lives of some of the Hawthorne family. Like others of her time and circumstances, Sophia Hawthorne devoted generous amounts of time to correspondence and journal-keeping; her surviving papers provide a rich reflection of life in 19th-century Concord, in Cuba, and later in England and Europe during Hawthorne's tenure as Consul at Liverpool. Included are letters, verse, journals, and notes relating to the family and milieu of Nathaniel Hawthorne and of the men and women of the American literary renaissance and of the Transcendentalist movement. Virtually all of the letters of Rose Hawthorne Lathrop were written to Clifford Smyth, a literary editor and historian, and to Clifford's wife, Beatrix, Rose's niece; Rose dearly loved Beatrix and her family. Sent from Rosary Hill Home between 1913 and 1926, the year Rose died, the letters illustrate some of the familial concerns of Rose, who was by then Mother Alphonsa: she was for example, worried about her brother, Julian, and she remained committed to preserving her parents' memory. Also included are circa 450 pages of holograph manuscripts which, though undated, can be placed as pre-1900. The manuscripts consist of complete drafts of short stories, verse, and substantial fragments of several novels. These manuscripts seem not to have been previously published. Also present are two other items of interest: a copybook dated 1858, when Rose was seven, with penmanship exercises and numerous poems, and a holograph journal from 1873, when she was 22 years old. Of Julian Hawthorne's letters, almost all were written to Julian's son-in-law, Clifford Smyth, and to Clifford's wife, Beatrix (Julian's daughter). Three items are childhood notes, written in pencil, two to Julian's aunt Elizabeth Palmer Peabody; the other to his maternal grandfather, Nathaniel Peabody. Also included are Hawthorne family memorabilia and photographs, and manuscript papers of actress Anna Cora Mowatt.

Indiana Indian agents. Papers, 1835-1838.

Title: Papers, 1835-1838.

The materials in this collection consist of three letters concerning the removal of the Potawatomie and Miami Indians from Indiana during the 1830s. The first letter, dated 27 July 1835, is from James Williams to Indian agent Able C. Pepper. Williams is responding to an advertisement that Pepper had placed in the Canal Telegraph and offers to furnish rations for the Potawatomie and Miami Indians. The next letter, dated 14 July 1838, is from George T. Bostwick to Captain E. A. Hitchcock. Bostwick offers to ferry supplies for the Indians by river in order to avoid the expense of land shipment. In the August 1838 letter, Hitchcock writes W. Lewis to inform him that the goods will be delivered to the Potawatomie Indians, citing "the state of the Emigration" as the cause for their detention.
