Reed, Elizabeth White, 1812-1899. Correspondence to Henry Reed and Elizabeth White Reed, ca. 1839-1854.

Title: Correspondence to Henry Reed and Elizabeth White Reed, ca. 1839-1854.

A bound volume containing 5 handwritten items, mounted on paper guards and mostly tipped in, with one item now loose and laid in. Includes two letters addressed to Henry Reed; two letters addressed to his widow, Elizabeth White Reed, shortly following his death; and one copy of a poem by an unidentified author. The letters to Reed are from William Wordsworth (both have been published): one is a copy, in Reed's hand, of a letter from Wordsworth dated 23 Dec. 1839 (The year is upon the point of expiring....); and the other an original letter dated 18 Nov. 1844 (Mrs. Wordsworth and I have been absent from home....), containing, on the last page, a letter to Reed from Wordsworth's wife, Mary, concerning the portrait of her husband by Henry Inman. The letters to Elizabeth Reed are: a letter of condolence from the Rev. Morgan Dix (20 Nov. 1854); and a letter from Ellis Yarnall, S. Morris Waln, and five other citizens of Philadelphia, informing her of a memorial fund contributed by them in her name for the benefit of her children (11 Nov. 1854). The poem is entitled Sonnet, with the following subtitle, or prefatory note, alluding to the subject as Sara Coleridge: Suggested by reading Professor Henry Reed's memoir of the late Mrs. Henry Nelson Coleridge, the daughter of S. T. Coleridge. The poem begins: Was not that woman blest above her peers. It is signed with the initial W., and the place: Philadelphia. (The same sonnet appeared in print in 1881, under the title Sara Coleridge, in a volume entitled Persephone and other poems, by Mrs. Charles Willing.) The volume has a handwritten table of contents at front, also mounted on a paper guard and tipped in.
