Correspondence, 1810-1834.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/18422265

Correspondence of Mary Grant, daughter of British author Anne MacVicar Grant, begins shortly after the Lowell family stayed with the Grants in Scotland in 1810. Leaving their children with Anne and Mary Grant for boarding and schooling, Francis C. Lowell, Hannah Lowell, and her sister Harriet Jackson travelled in France and England until 1812. Anne and Mary corresponded with the Lowells, reporting on Susan's and John's progress. Later letters of Harriet Jackson and Mary Grant concern mutual friends and social, religious, and literary happenings in Britain and the U.S. Some figures discussed include Joanna Baillie, Thomas H. Gallaudet, Rev. Francis Parkman, and George Ticknor.
