Autograph collection, 1833-1889.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/11891751

Little is known of Sarah McCurdy Jarvis, divorced wife of the Rev. Samuel Farmer Jarvis. It is obvious, however, from the evidence of this two vol. autograph collection, that she was a popular hostess and had many admirers among statesmen, writers and musicians in Europe and the U.S. Besides signatures, the collection contains aphorisms, poems and passages from literature inscribed by Chateaubriand, Dickens and Vigny, among others. Also included are three letters tipped-in from Samuel F.B. Morse; to W.P. Finley (1836), Thomas Sully (1842) and a letter of introduction for Osbert B. Loomis (1871).
