Entitled the "Tuesday Evening Post," the handwritten school newsletter, dated June 3, 1861, was edited by Pattie A. Curd and Mary V. Henton and features stories and poems about the Science Hill Academy, Shelbyville, Kentucky.

The school essay, written by Curd on June 19, 1861, at Science Hill, romantically describes the importance her school days.
