Papers, 1727-1892 [microform].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259314

The earliest letters in this collection are between the elder Pliny Earle and his brothers Jonah (1765-1846), Henry (1774-1837), and Timothy (1778-1819) regarding the wool card manufacturing business. The correspondence of John Milton Earle and his family begins with letters between Earle and Sarah Hussey in the period of their courtship, and these letters contain much discussion of reading and Quakerism. Later letters include many to and from Earle's children, particularly Ann H. Earle, although many members of the family are correspondents and recipients. Other correspondents include Lucy Chase (1822-1909) of Worcester. Although focusing on family and local matters, these letters cover a very wide range of topics. Numerous letters between John Milton Earle and his wife Sarah date to the period after their marriage, as she frequently visited Nantucket. These letters contain much news of events in Worcester and Nantucket. The papers of the younger Pliny Earle include a series of diaries from the years 1831 to 1833 as well as travel and medical notes from his visits to Europe and Turkey in 1838-1839. There are also genealogical notes on the Earle family and a "description of Elizabeth B. Chase's Spiritual Communications" dated 1852. Miscellaneous materials include a group of subscriptions for the Quaker Meeting, Leicester, Mass., 1790's; genealogical notes compiled by John Milton Earle, and penmanship exercise books and an account book of Sarah Hussey. There is also a small amount of material concerning the Mulberry Grove Boarding School, a school for young women in Leicester conducted from 1827 to 1839 by John Milton and Pliny Earle's sisters Sarah (1800-1834), Lucy (1805-1887), and Eliza (1807-1846).
